Grandpa's Pine Tar Shampoo, 8 Fluid Ounce

Really great product, has sorted out my scalp from being dry and itchy.

Polytar, the shampoo that saved thousands from the horrors of eczema and psoriasis for decades, for some reason has become unavailable, (I presume this is pending an adjustment in the formula or obtaining new supplies following recent EU legislation on coal tar).I bought this instead, for someone desperately searching for an alternative that can still be easily obtained.I hear generally good reviews of it and have tried it myself. The smell is more like a conventional shampoo, and less tarry than the Grandpa's brand bar of soap, or original Polytar. Yes, it has the faintest hint of tar - but it's really quite faint and undetectable once rinsed off.It makes a good lather and cleans well without stripping your hair. It also, most importantly, does soothe the scalp somewhat.It's not polytar, but it's OK. I prefer to just use the Grandpa's brand bar of soap for everything (shaving, washing, hair) - but if you prefer gel/shampoo, this is good stuff, give it a try.

I like what is in the ingredients compared to other manufacturers, cleans my hair but most importantly it helps to stop my head itching as I alternate this between two other shampoos and it works for me and keeps my head almost itch free.

I ordered this product not suspecting that it included Sodium laureth sulfate. However, I am not unduly sensitive to this substance and find the shampoo very effective in combating scalp problems. I also quite like the very distinctive "camp fire' smell!

Your hair will smell faintly of a campfire but the shampoo is great, does its job well and supposedly you get all the benefits of tar soap without the bar-soap drawbacks.

excellent, it seems to be clearing up the spots in my scalp, and I like the smell as well. Reminds me of camp fires.18 May 2016, I will not be buying this product again. Not only has the price been increased by over 50 percent in 5 months, but also it is now on Amazon Prime which increases the cost of delivery. Basically it is now a rip off.

polytar is better

This is the real deal. Proper pine tar shampoo. I've tried others, but I have stuck with this since years.
