Wright’s Coal Tar Soap​

Do you remember using Wright’s Coal Tar Soap? This popular brand of antiseptic soap was a staple in most households back in the day. Its iconic orange colour and distinct aroma were reminiscent of many people’s childhoods. The soap also contained antibacterial properties used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis.

I still use Wright's Coal Tar Soap. I have used it for over 30 years as I have psoriasis. Don't use regular soap. The one downfall is that it is expensive as I order it from England.

I've always loved this spoap used up to a few years ago when it disappeared from stores . Went on line it is still available but you have to order.
