The key ingredient in Shik toilet soap is birch tar (wood tar). Rich in antioxidants, birch tar helps combat free radicals, which are responsible for skin ageing and the development of various diseases. It has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, soothing, anti-itch and repairing properties. It also regulates sebum production, reduces blackheads, cleanses, tightens enlarged pores and prevents acne.

Shik Birch Tar Soap Bar has a distinctive scent that some people may initially find unpleasant. Its strong aroma resembles a mixture of burning and petrol, a result of the natural properties of birch tar. This is worth bearing in mind before buying. However, the scent does not linger on the skin after using the bar: it disappears when the soap is rinsed off, leaving skin fresh and clean. The benefits of using Shik Birch Tar Soap far outweigh the brief discomfort caused by its scent. The unique skincare properties of birch tar can visibly improve the condition of your skin.

Regular use of birch tar soap may help reduce acne, psoriasis, eczema and other troublesome skin concerns, leaving skin healthier and soothed. The birch tar in Shik soap also supports skin repair and soothes itching and redness.
