Surely, each of us has heard about the miraculous properties of tar soap. Its advantages are unique: birch tar is a natural antiseptic, it helps fight skin “imperfections” - acne, boils, eczema... Its antifungal properties are also noted. Sooner or later, many soap makers think about creating tar soap with their own hands. There are a large number of recipes for making such soap from scratch, but a recipe from a base is extremely difficult to find. That’s why today we will share with you such a secret recipe!
Cooking technology:
Important! Tar can cause an allergic reaction! Before use, it is necessary to test the soap for allergic reactions! 
Weigh and cut 100 grams of organic base into small cubes. We choose organic because we want to make the most beneficial soap for the skin. Then we melt it in a water bath or in a microwave oven. And then, when it has cooled slightly, add calendula oil extract into it. 
Mix thoroughly! 
It's the turn of our amazing component from the pharmacy range. 
Measure out 1.5 teaspoons and add to the base. Mix and get this dark and strong-smelling substance. 
To slightly smooth out the rather pungent smell of tar, add 6-8 drops of mint essential oil. But we’ll do this when our “substance” cools down even more, so that the essential oil does not lose all those properties that we expect from it when it comes into contact with a hot base! 
Mix thoroughly... 
and pour into the prepared form. If necessary, spray with liquid to remove bubbles. But, as a rule, this is not required. 
This soap takes longer to cool than usual. To speed up this process and subsequently make it easier to remove the soap from the mold, you can put it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. To prevent the specific smell from being absorbed into stored products, we recommend covering the soap with a lid or film.
As you can see, the process is very simple and fast!
And the result is amazing!

Tar soap will cleanse the skin, normalize sebaceous secretion, improve blood circulation, accelerate hair growth, and increase its volume. It successfully acts against dandruff and excess sebum due to seborrhea, and cleanses the skin and hair well. In addition, it revives the hair structure, accelerates growth, and improves its condition.
Tar soap is also used to treat inflammatory processes on the skin of the face and body.
Tar has a very unpleasant odor, however, it copes well with dandruff, seborrhea, hair loss and oily hair, so the popularity of birch tar only increases over time. Also tar soap is one of the best ways get rid of lice.
You can buy tar soap at a pharmacy, from master soap makers, or learn how to make soap yourself. Such homemade soap will be truly healing not only due to the tar, but also due to the absence of SLS and other “harmful substances”.
Percentage of tar added to soap: 1-10%. In medicinal soap for complex diseases of the scalp from 5 to 10%, in soap for dandruff and soap for prevention - 1-3%. If you have blond hair, we recommend adding no more than 2% to your soap.
How to add tar to soap
Tar is introduced into the soap from scratch in a dense trace if the soap is prepared using the cold method. Tar is introduced into hot soap after the bath along with essential oils and superfat into the cooled soap.
Effect of tar on skin and hair
- Tar contains a huge number of different substances that give it antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, drying and antipruritic properties.
- Tar heals skin diseases: dandruff, fungal infections, erysipelas, scaly lichen, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, folliculitis, pediculosis, scabies, vitiligo, trophic non-healing ulcers, bedsores and others. Birch tar can also heal various wounds and skin burns.
- Tar improves cell regeneration, increases blood flow in skin tissues, and promotes its renewal. The main positive property of birch tar that affects hair is irritation of the scalp. Due to the irritating effect, blood circulation increases, hair root follicles receive additional nutrition, and active hair growth begins. It has been proven that the natural product has an “irritating” effect on “sleeping” hair follicles, which, under the influence of birch tar, “awaken” and become active, which accordingly affects the thickness of the hair.
- Even when applied externally, tar has an effect on overall well-being: patients note a decrease in irritability and improved sleep, a decrease in skin itching, and an anesthetic effect is also observed.
Tar soap from scratch recipe
We offer you a simple recipe for tar hair soap, which contains few ingredients and is ideal for beginner soap makers. In addition, according to reviews, this is the most successful recipe for shampoo soap for hair, which suits almost everyone. Of course, you can wash not only your hair with this soap, but also your body, especially if you have skin rashes.
- Castor oil - 105 grams (15%)
Coconut oil T pl = 24.4 C - 210 grams (30%)
Sunflower oil - 385 grams (55%) - Alkali NaOH – 106.59 grams = 98.6 (for saponification of oils, taking into account 5% superfat) +7.99 (for neutralizing citric acid)
Water - 196.0 grams (28%) - Citric acid 14 g (2%)
Citric acid – imparts conditioning properties to hair soap, softening properties, and also helps facilitate combing, which is important when washing hair. When adding citric acid to soap, it should be taken into account that, like any other acid, it neutralizes alkali, and therefore, it is necessary to calculate its additional amount. The additional amount of NaOH alkali when preparing solid soap is 0.6 g per 1 g. citric acid. Additional amount of KOH alkali when preparing soft soap - 0.87 g per 1 g. citric acid. The usual dosage of citric acid in soap is 1-3%.
Cooking tar soap in a cold way
How to use tar soap for hair
When treating your hair and scalp, do not neglect the advice to wash your hair with warm water, not hot. Otherwise, a greasy coating will remain on the hair. It is more convenient to lather your hair not with a bar of soap, but lather it first in your hands, or dissolve it in water, and only then apply the foam to your hair. Do not wash off the foam immediately, leave it for 10 minutes. Rinse with slightly warm water.
Do not forget about the drying effect of soap with tar, do not use it often and constantly.
IMPORTANT! Blonde hair when using tar soap they may darken.
Of course, not everyone likes the smell of tar, but it is easy to get rid of it by simply storing the soap in a closed soap dish. In addition, after washing the soap off the skin, there is no smell left at all. Many who absolutely cannot stand the smell of tar put up with it due to the effect it brings after use.
If you have not previously used soap to wash your hair, it will take time to adjust - about a month. During this period, hair may look dull and unkempt, since industrial shampoos contain silicones that visually make our hair healthy, but are actually covered with a film that works wonders: the hair is shiny and does not tangle. A serious disadvantage of this film is that it prevents the entry of oxygen, moisture, and nutrients into the cells. As a result, the hair becomes thinner, falls out, becomes brittle, and breaks. If you are tired of fighting dandruff, hair loss, oily hair and have come to the conclusion that you wash your hair every day, but by the evening it is still greasy, then you should switch to natural remedies for washing hair or shampoos.
How to improve the recipe for tar soap for hair?
If you don't have any base oil from tar soap recipe, or you are experimenting with the base composition, trying to find perfect recipe for your hair, then you can replace some oil with another one suitable for shampoo soap. Be sure to recalculate the weight of lye using a soap calculator when making changes to the recipe.
Grape seeds (up to 20%), suitable for both oily and dry hair; regulates sebum secretion, tones hair follicles; protects against fragility and restores hair structure, moisturizes; great option for overfat
Mustard (up to 20%), well suited for this type of soap, has a stimulating effect on hair growth and prevents hair loss
Jojoba oil (up to 10%). Helps cope with dry scalp and hair loss; ideal for use in overfat. May leave a residue.
Coconut (from 15 to 50%), gives good foam, cleanses hair perfectly. For dry hair, it is better to take a lower percentage of coconut oil, 15 - 20%.
Cocoa butter (up to 5%), with a higher percentage of input, it can leave a residue and the feeling that the hair has not been washed. Gives the soap good care qualities. Burdock oil - helps strengthen the hair roots and restore their structure, especially good to use for hair loss, rinses off well.
Hemp (up to 15%)- excellent oil for shampoo soap, suitable for dry and sensitive scalp, softens.
Castor oil (up to 20%). Good foam stabilizing oil. It also perfectly nourishes and softens dry hair and has a good effect on the scalp.
Palm oil (up to 20%)— makes the hair a little heavier; it should not be added to soap.
Sunflower – up to 100%. It washes off well and does not weigh down the hair; good for oily hair; In general, it is well suited for shampoo soap and has a disadvantage only in its short shelf life
What oils should not be added?
It is not advisable to add palm oil, as it can leave a residue on the hair. It is believed that olive oil turns hair into icicles. In fact, there are no strict prohibitions on this or that oil. You can experiment and select oils that suit you individually. And there were examples on our soap making forum when hair soap made with 100% olive oil was ideal.
Additives to tar soap for hair from scratch
Silk from 0.5 to 3%.(silkworm cocoons, tops, silk thread) – silk proteins will care for the scalp and hair. Added to alkaline solution. Silk in shampoo soap is used to make hair easier to comb and add shine.
Dry mustard powder (up to 2%)– adds shine to hair, normalizes excessive fat production, enhances growth (strands grow 2–4 cm per month), hairstyle gains volume, hair roots are strengthened, and hair loss stops. Hair will look clean longer.
Salt (up to 10%).– used to strengthen hair and also acts as a preservative. In shampoo soap the recommended input is up to 10%. Salt also has a drying effect. Those with dry hair are advised to use with caution.
Honey and bee products– enriches the soap with its beneficial properties. Add to forms before laying out. We talked about the properties of honey in the article honey masks for hair.
Egg add to the cooling soap - only the yolk squeezed out of the films. When cooking, CS is added to the trail, when HS - along with superfat, or to chilled. 1 yolk for 400-500 grams of oils. The benefits of adding yolk to soap are questionable, since soap is designed to cleanse and remove bacteria and fungi. It is better to use yolks as a hair mask or natural shampoo.
Zinc oxide (up to 3%). Zinc oxide acts as an antiseptic, eliminates local manifestations of inflammation and irritation, and forms protective covering on the skin, which reduces the impact of irritating factors on it, is astringent, powerful antimicrobial, optimizes sebum secretions, and dries.
Lactic acid (1-3%). when added to an alkaline solution, it forms sodium lactate in the finished hard soap, and potassium lactate in the soft soap. Sodium lactate softens the hair and scalp, while potassium lactate is able to moisturize and retain moisture in the hair.
Sodium lactate can also be purchased ready-made in the store. Lactic acid, like citric acid, neutralizes alkali, so it requires the introduction of additional amounts.
Additional alkali for 1g. 80% lactic acid - 0.36g. NaOH for solid soap or 0.5g. KOH for soft.
Sulfur (up to 5%) Precipitated sulfur will help hair become healthy and shiny due to its direct participation in the synthesis of the previously mentioned collagen and keratin. Sulfur will help with excessive oily hair and in the fight against dandruff, if the cause of this problem is a fungus.
Hair soap is usually prepared using herbal decoctions, caring for hair and scalp: burdock root, calamus, dandelion, chamomile, violet, yarrow, etc. You can use beer, wine or cognac as a liquid.
We recommend not to overload tar soap active additives, since tar itself is a very powerful healing agent. Tar soap is used more often if there are any problems with the scalp or hair and is not suitable for daily care. Therefore, it is better to use silk, honey, eggs, milk and other additives in a separate soap for everyday hair washing.
Recipes and reviews of hair soap from scratch
We are waiting for your feedback on the use of tar soap for hair. Thank you for your attention!
Today I will tell you how to make a recipe for tar soap and how to cook it.
Tar soap can be prepared at home using three different ways- from children's, from the base and from scratch.
If you are a beginner soap maker, then this recipe is right for you.
For 100g of base - 1-2 tsp. tar. Cut the base into cubes, melt in a water bath or in the microwave, add 0.5 tsp. cosmetic oil, tar. Pour into a mold, preferably a disposable one, say, a yogurt cup or into a mold that you can then not use for at least some time. Please note that tar should be added at the very last stage, when the base is no longer so hot. After hardening it can be used.
Tar soap from children's. It is more difficult to cook from baby soap than from base, but baby soap can be freely purchased at your nearest store. Just pay attention that the soap must be ours Russian production, and its composition should contain either NSFA or sodium palmate, sodium cocoate, etc. This soap is natural.
Grate 100g of baby soap on a fine grater, add 100g of water and melt in a water bath until smooth. Add 1-2 tbsp base oil, then cool slightly, add 1-1.5 tbsp. tar, pour into molds. Soap hardens longer than from base, up to 2-3 days; the rate of hardening depends on the amount of liquid and the initial hardness of the soap. Recommendations for choosing a form are the same as for soap from base.
Tar soap from scratch. The most difficult option to implement. If you're not familiar with making soap from scratch, I don't recommend jumping into it right away. If you have already made natural soap, there will be no particular difficulties for you.
My basic recipe for tar soap for face and body: palm oil - 30%, palm kernel oil - 20%, coconut oil - 10%, olive oil - 30%, grape seed oil - 10%. Water - 38% for hot, 35 - for cold. Alkali according to the calculator. Overfat according to the calculator is 2%, plus 5-6% afterward (with the cold method) or before laying out in the mold (with the hot method). The superfat contains jojoba or grape seed oil, depending on the age and skin type of the person for whom this soap is used. I add 5-10% tar, depending on whether I want to make therapeutic or prophylactic soap. When it’s hot, I add the tar along with the superfat before placing it in the mold, when the mass has already cooled down a little.
Still, the best tar soap is made using the cold method. And it is advisable not to pass this soap through the gel; if it is cold outside, you can put it on the balcony.
Tar soap for hair: coconut - 50%, flaxseed -15%, burdock on sunflower - 15%, sunflower - 15%, castor oil - 5%. Water - 38 for hot, 35 for cold. Overfat according to the calculator is 0%, after or before laying out in molds - 3% jojoba. Tar along with excess fat 5-10%. Citric acid I do not add. Essential oils It is possible for hair care, but you will not feel the smell - rosemary, cedar, pine and others.
In fact, there are many more recipes for tar soap, and the most difficult thing in preparing it is the smell. The first day it is especially strong, and then it becomes weaker and weaker. Therefore, take care of this moment in advance so that you have the opportunity to put the soap on the balcony and ventilate the room well. This is also a good excuse to go to the cinema or visit with the whole family.)))
