A very traditional type of soap that is recommended for acne and makes a great deodorant bar. Over the centuries, a lot of lore has evolved surrounding Carbolic soap. We’ve had a customer tell us that they dissolve Carbolic soap shavings in hot water. Then spray the soap mixture over their lawn to get rid of those root-eating grubs. Some customers hang Carbolic bars from their fruit trees or stake them around vegetable patches to discourage unwanted browsers. In many parts of the world Carbolic soap is one of the few everyday symbols of European colonial times. We have been told that surgeons still scrub with carbolic soap in remote hospitals in India.
