The Ultimate Dr. Squatch Soap Review

As a long-time Dr. Squatch fan and collector, I’ve tried nearly every limited edition, special pack, and standard soap available. From the classic favorites to rare limited editions, I’ve got a lot to say about each one. Below is my ultimate guide, breaking down every soap I’ve tried, plus some thoughts on accessories and scents. If you’re a Squatch enthusiast or just curious, this is your one-stop guide.

Out of the close to 100 scents, I’ve only tried 44 of the briccs.

The Batman Collection

Based on the 2022 movie starring Robert Pattinson, these soaps bring a dark and edgy vibe to your shower routine.

The Batman Bricc (Dark Leather)
Grit: Medium
Scent: Dark, rugged leather.
Review: This was an amazing scent, rugged with a medium grit that really exfoliated. It left my skin smooth, and the scent lingered for hours. I wish it were a permanent addition!
Rating: ★★★★☆

The Riddle Enigma (Mystery Scent – Green Apple)
Grit: None
Scent: Subtle green apple, not overpowering.
Review: Pleasant and refreshing, though lacking any exfoliating qualities. Still, a nice fruity touch for fans of lighter scents.
Rating: ★★★☆☆

The Star Wars Pack (1)

Inspired by the original six movies, these soaps bring the Force (and grit) to your bathroom.

Only Hope Soap (Thyme Leaf and Bentonite Clay, Obi Wan Kenobi)
Grit: None
Scent: Strange and unpleasant; the clay left a chalky feeling.
Review: This was my least favorite in the pack. I even reached out to Dr. Squatch to express my disappointment.
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

Ruthless Rinse (Dragon Fruit and Black Sand, Darth Maul)
Grit: Heavy
Scent: Mild but not memorable; the grit provided excellent exfoliation.
Review: Good exfoliation, but the scent didn’t stand out as much as I had hoped.
Rating: ★★★☆☆

Dark Side Scrub (Chokeberry, Sand, and Coconut Charcoal, Darth Vader)
Grit: Heavy
Scent: Dark and powerful, with fantastic exfoliation.
Review: One of my favorites. The gritty texture and captivating scent made it a standout.
Rating: ★★★★★

Wisdom Wash (Lotus Leaf, Yoda)
Grit: None
Scent: Earthy and leafy, but a bit dull.
Review: It didn’t live up to the wisdom of its namesake; definitely underwhelming.
Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Harry Potter Pack

Dive into the magical world with soaps inspired by the four Hogwarts houses.

Bricc of the Brave (Sword Grass, Griffonia, and Lion’s Tooth, Gryffindor)
Grit: Heavy
Scent: Mildly invigorating but not overpowering.
Review: Great exfoliation, left my skin feeling smooth, but the scent was just okay.
Rating: ★★★☆☆

Lather of the Loyal (Cup Plant, Badger Yellow Oats, Pumice, Hufflepuff)
Grit: Medium

Grit: None
Scent: Light, refreshing, and surprisingly good for a “villain” soap!
Review: A surprisingly enjoyable scent that left me feeling refreshed.
Rating: ★★★☆☆

The Avengers Pack

Inspired by Marvel’s classic superheroes, these soaps pack a punch.

Liberty Lather (Water-Shield, Pumice, Serviceberry, Captain America)
Grit: Light
Scent: Nice but not exceptional; the weakest of a strong pack.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Stark Cleanse (Red Pepper, Blazing Star, Iron Wood, Iron Man)
Grit: None
Scent: This is hands-down the best scent Dr. Squatch has ever made. Rich, woodsy, with notes of amber and saffron.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Scrub Smash (Gamma Amino Acid, All-Heal, Rhyolite, Hulk)
Grit: Heavy
Scent: Decent, but the grit was almost too much; left scratch marks.
Review: The scent was okay, but the heavy grit made it rougher than I prefer.
Rating: ★★★☆☆
