Fitzroy Carbolic Soap – 3 x 125g | Mild Disinfectant Carbolic Bar Soap | Multi-Purpose | Hand, Body & Household Use

The original British carbolic soap — deep pink, deeply nostalgic, and genuinely multi-purpose 🇬🇧

Fitzroy Carbolic Soap is a mild disinfectant soap. The distinctive features of Carbolic Soap are its deep pink to red colour and its smell. That unmistakeable, medicinal, slightly tarry aroma that older generations across the UK, West Africa, and the Caribbean know instantly — the smell of a bathroom done properly. The smell of genuine, no-nonsense hygiene. Wikipedia

Up until the 1970s you would be sure to find a bar of Carbolic Soap in most households. A no-nonsense multi-purpose soap, which at the time was used for cleaning virtually anything. Still considered the disinfectant soap of choice by many, this low cost, very effective soap remains popular in certain countries around the world. Amazon

For the West African and Caribbean diaspora communities in the UK — many of whom grew up using carbolic soap and actively seek it out — Fitzroy Carbolic Soap is exactly what they are looking for. Three generous bars per pack. Outstanding value.

Key Ingredients

Ingredients: Sodium Tallowate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Aqua, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, O-Cresol, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, CI 12490 (Pigment Red 5), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide).

• ⚗️ O-Cresol (Carbolic/Disinfectant Active) — the active disinfectant ingredient that gives carbolic soap its characteristic properties. O-Cresol is a phenol-derived compound with well-established mild disinfectant properties — the reason carbolic soap has been trusted for personal hygiene and household cleaning for generations
• 🌴 Sodium Tallowate & Sodium Palm Kernelate — premium tallow and palm kernel-derived soap base that produces the rich, velvet-like lather that Fitzroy Carbolic is known for. The tallow base gives the soap its characteristic moisturising, skin-conditioning lather
• 💧 Glycerin — conditions and softens skin during washing — preventing the dryness that harsher soaps can cause
• ⬜ Titanium Dioxide & CI 12490 — the mineral and pigment combination that gives Fitzroy its iconic deep pink to red colour — instantly recognisable, endlessly nostalgic
• 🌊 Tetrasodium EDTA & Tetrasodium Etidronate — chelating agents that ensure consistent lathering and performance even in hard water
