Okay…Is The Hype Real Or What?
Today, the post will be Dr. Squatch Soap Review. You have likely seen an ad for Dr. Squatch on one or multiple social media sites. They seem to be everywhere and almost impossible to miss. Dr. Squatch posts some high-quality videos and ads with a flair for comedy. So, to wade the muck and mire, I purchased almost all of Dr. Squatch’s soap to review them and help you, the consumer, find out if it is any good or not.
I will highlight the positives and negatives of their soaps and give my opinion on the best soap they offer and what to avoid.

I pride myself on owning the product I am reviewing, actually using the product, and writing an honest review and highlighting both the positives and negatives of the product.

What Is Dr. Squatch Soap? What Makes Them So Special?
First and foremost, Dr. Squatch’s soap is for men.
They cater their business to providing grooming products to men specifically. They do this with their soaps in two ways: by providing a scent profile that smells like a man should smell and sometimes adding an exfoliant to their soaps because men get dirty and are always mucking around with stuff like oil and grease.
The second thing you need to know about Squatch soap is that it doesn’t have all the cheap industrial chemicals found in well-known soap brands sold everywhere. They use natural ingredients such as olive, coconut oil, hemp oils, essential oils, mint, oats, and more. You get the idea.
So basically, it’s a natural soap.
All of their soaps are sold in 5 oz. Bars and come packaged nicely. The soaps are cold-process soaps, meaning they have a silky smoothness and a rich lather.

How Good Are The Soaps? Scents? Worth Getting? My Opinion
Despite all the marketing you might see surrounding this product, it truly lives up to being a fantastic product! I enjoy using their soaps and their scent lineups over the years.
They have great ingredients, and it shows when you use them. All the soaps easily form a rich, luxurious lather. This is from their natural and great list of ingredients without using cheap, harsh chemicals.
Unique scents are another reason why their soaps just simply ROCK! The quality of the scents is good, and they smell natural. While I don’t love every scent in their lineup of soaps, I do like all of their scents.
I highly recommend their soaps and to give them a try. They check all the right boxes, and they are worth getting.
What Are My Favorite Soaps?
Dr. Squatch Pine Tar Soap
My favorite soap is the Dr. Squatch Pine Tar Soap. I love how natural it smells and its unique scent profile. It is the best-smelling pine tar soap I have used. This is a must-try soap for sure. It’s invigorating, and I love the grit of the exfoliant added to help me get cleaner.
I have reviewed and used a lot of different soaps, but this one always sticks to the forefront of my mind when I think of my favorite soaps I have used.
Over a year ago, I wrote a review of the Pine Tar Soap here, Dr. Squatch Pine Tar Soap Review.
Dr. Squatch Coconut Castaway Soap
This is another remarkable scent that I just got my hands on. It is one of their newer scents that I just got around to trying. I love a good coconut scent, which didn’t disappoint. This is a must-try as well and is a real crowd-pleaser.
Honorable Mentions
- Bay Rum – I thought I wouldn’t like this, but I do…I do.
- Birchwood Breeze has a unique scent that is enjoyable.
What Soaps I Don’t Like?
I don’t hate any scent from Squatch, but some scents are not as earth-shaking as others. They are just okay.
- Gold Moss – Smells natural and clean. It just doesn’t move me. This is typical with any moss scent that I have ever smelt.
- Wood Barrel Bourbon is not my favorite scent.

Tips & Questions
Which Dr. Squatch Soaps Have Exfoliants?
For some of us men who work dirty jobs where we get pretty grimy, we need that extra scrubbing power of exfoliant added to our soaps to get us clean. Exfoliants are added to soaps to give you a rougher texture that helps remove dirt and grease, such as oatmeal, sand, mica, coffee grounds, salt, and more.
Thankfully, Dr. Squatch has plenty of options here. I will list all of the available soaps with these extra exfoliants added. There are four grit levels: Heavy, Medium, Light, and none. The soaps not listed have no exfoliants added.
- Pine Tar (Heavy Grit)
- Cold Brew Cleanse (Heavy Grit)
- Wood Barrel Bourbon (Medium Grit)
- Deep Sea Goats Milk (Medium Grit)
- Birchwood Breeze (Medium Grit)
- Eucalyptus Yogurt (Medium Grit)
- The Batman Bricc (Medium Grit)
- Summer Citrus (Light Grit)
- Coconut Castaway (Light Grit)
- The Star Wars Collection I (all soaps have exfoliants added)
- The Star Wars Collection II (all soaps have exfoliants added)
Can Women Use Dr. Squatch Soap?
Yes, 100% they can. Even though Dr. Squatch is marketed toward men, their products and soaps are unisex and can be used by both men and women.
Scents
I have used many of their products, and their scents generally fall directly in the middle ground, so both sexes can comfortably use them. So, you can buy with confidence.
Two scents I think lean more towards the manly side of things and maybe should be avoided by women are the Bay Rum (which is fantastic btw) and Wood Barrel Bourbon.
Exfoliants
Also, another word of caution would be the level of exfoliant provided in some of their soaps might be a little too rough for some ladies. (See list above) I love the heavy grit, but my wife finds it too hard and prefers the medium to light or none. So, keep that in mind, too.
Where Can I Buy Dr. Squatch Soap?
You have three options on where to buy Dr. Squatch Soap.
- Dr. Squatch’s.
- Amazon – You can get free shipping with an Amazon Prime account.
- Locally – I have seen their products sold in my local stores, but generally, the prices are quite a bit higher than I can buy online.
The Final Thoughts On Dr. Squatch Soap Review
