Shik Tar soap bar

Shik is a prominent Ukrainian personal care brand that has gained international recognition for its traditional and specialty hygiene products. The specific product shown is 'Shik Digtyarne' (Tar Soap), which is celebrated for its antiseptic properties and use of natural birch tar. The brand is deeply rooted in Eastern European skincare traditions, focusing on effectiveness and affordable daily use.

The Shik brand was created and is currently produced by the Slobozhanskyi Soap Maker company (locally known as TOV Slobozhanskyi Mylovar). Since its founding in 1999, the company has operated from its manufacturing base in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Despite being a major exporter to various Eastern European and Asian markets, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of its original Ukrainian parent company, maintaining its position as one of the largest soap producers in the CIS region.
