Natural Relief for Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dry, Itchy Skin
There is something timeless about pine tar. My Pine Tar Salve for eczema is dark, strong, and deeply traditional, used in medicine for over 2,000 years to calm irritation and support skin repair. Known even as a drawing salve, it softens skin and helps pull out splinters. Its unmistakable black color is the mark of old-fashioned healing power.
This concentrated formula goes beyond pine tar soap, delivering direct relief to stubborn patches of irritation, itching, and dryness. Customers often report soothing comfort from the very first application.
Key Benefits
- Intense Relief – Targets eczema, psoriasis, and severely dry or itchy skin.
- Reduces Itch & Inflammation – Calms irritation and eases the urge to scratch.
- Supports Skin Growth – Stimulates healthy skin regeneration for recovery.
- Natural Alternative – A steroid-free option for long-term skin support.
A History of Pine Tar in Skin Care
For centuries, pine tar has been used around the world to treat skin conditions. The FDA recognizes pine tar as a safe and effective treatment for mild psoriasis, and its benefits extend to eczema, dermatitis, and other challenging conditions.
Most commonly found in soap and shampoo, I also craft:
- Pine Tar Soap
- Old-Fashioned Pine Tar Shampoo Bar
- New-Fangled Pine Tar Shampoo Bar for salon-quality hair
This salve is designed to bring that same relief in a concentrated, targeted form.
Ingredients That Work Together

- Chamomile – Reduces inflammation and helps prevent dermatitis.
- Calendula – Soothes irritation and promotes healing.
- Comfrey Leaf – Anti-inflammatory and analgesic, encourages tissue regeneration.
- Gotu Kola – Traditional Asian remedy for eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
Core Ingredients
- Pine Tar (10%) – Pure Swedish pine tar, extra heavy, no fillers.

- Potency – This salve is strong and not recommended for children or pets. Try my African Black Soap instead for a gentler option.

- Scent – Natural aroma of pine tar with lemon eucalyptus notes.

I have atopic dermatitis and this salve is wonderful. It has a healing quality and my dermatologist approves it as well. Pine tar helps to reduce inflammation of the skin so I am all for that! And a little goes a long way so a small jar will last me quite a while!
