It is a block of coal black colored nasty smelling soap used in the UK. I have never seen it in the States.

No its not black. Its an orange colour and Wrights make the posh one but I buy the stores own brand one. Have a look out for it, its in an orange packet and you don't have to buy it as it smells so strong you can smell it through the wrapping.

If I remember correctly that was the black soap that in my opinion smelled really nasty. I just love Caress liquid soap it smells so nich and just one drop makes a nice lather.

I enjoy the Caress bar and bodywash, both smell good and keep my skin soft

I love Yardley English Lavender soap. It is not often available in the stores I have access to. I do not really even know if they still make it. I also like soaps that smell of cocoa butter.

Coal tar soap is used in the treatment of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis. It keeps the skin from sloughing. I use the shampoo, it helps keep you from getting dandruff. The one I use has a strange smell, but it is off brand shampoo, so guess Im getting what Im paying for.

It is amazing with all those scented soaps out there how some people still prefer the more ordinary soaps. I love to use Lifebouy Carbolic Soap. There is a strong fresh smell from it so I would only use it on days when I am not going somewhere special, then I would have to use the scented soaps.

Wow I have never heard of coal tar soap. What does that smell like. I like the smell of carress or irish spring. Dial smells okay but i'm allergic to dial.
