Both outdoorsy campers and urban jungle dwellers will dig these all-natural soaps from the Dr. Squatch Soap Co. Inspired by nature and idea of running free in the woods like the elusive Sasquatch, AJ Fountain and Jack Haldrup started this environmentally friendly subscription soap company that delivers the lather right to your front door.

“It’s time we started caring about the ingredients in things we use, inside and outside our bodies.” You won’t find any nasty chemicals or artificial fragrances added to these suds. These soaps are made by using the “cold process” to bring out the best and enhance the natural ingredients. First, lye, water, natural oils, and butters are mixed together. During the process the lye mixes with the oil. Over time this mixture hardens causing the oils to saponify. All of the bars start with the same base oil of olive, coconut, hemp, soy and Shea butter. Next, natural ingredients are added to make each soap special.

Like a gritty exfoliating soap with a strong woodsy scent? Try Pine Tar. Or lather up with Gold Moss Scrub, one of their best sellers. Freshly ground cocoa and added sea salt round out this earthy musk. Cedar Citrus is the newest addition with notes of cedarwood, rosemary and orange and finished with mild peppermint leaves. Fresh and zesty. Make every day a vacation with Bay Rum. A smooth and creamy bar with a tropical twist. Or try a winter holiday with the Spearmint Basil Scrub bar. Eucalyptus Greek Yogurt soap will get you going in the morning with fresh eucalyptus essential oils and exfoliating oatmeal. Soothing aloe and sophisticated clover make up the Cool Fresh Aloe bar. And Deep Sea Goat’s Milk is an extra-moisturizing exfoliator.

Now with over 2500 “soapscribers” these guys are keeping it all natural and expanding the line by bringing back the wet shave. This shaving kit comes with a copper mug, Clay Mint Bar Shaving Soap and synthetic shaving brush. No badgers were harmed in the making of this kit.

Most guys probably already know the brand Dr. Squatch. If you go to the men’s aisle you’ll see their deodorants, face washes, and most notably, their bar soaps, which are famous for having tie-ins with big franchises like Star Wars, Harry Potter, and the MCU. Surprisingly, one thing Dr. Squatch didn’t have until now is a shower gel. Their new body wash collection launched on September 13 and comes in four scents: Coconut Castaway, Fresh Falls, Pine Tar, and Wood Barrel Bourbon.

The Manual was able to try out one of their shower gels before its launch, and after showering with their wood barrel bourbon body wash for over a week now, here are my thoughts.
