Hey, guys. In June of 2022, I set out on a mission to find an economical, all natural soap for men. I tried over 20 sets of soaps. If you’re interested in reading a comprehensive review of these soaps, look up my review under Crate 61-For Him. Then come back to this review to read more about Dr. Squatch.
Pricing
Before I begin, you should know that I scratched Dr. Squatch from my list because it didn’t meet my price requirement ($1.00/ounce or less). Dr. Squatch is not an economical soap; however, given its popularity, and given that it was one of the only soaps that met my strict definition of all natural, I wanted to post a review.
Since Dr. Squatch is one of the pricier men’s soaps posted on Amazon, let’s be upfront about what you’re going to pay for this soap. If you decide that it’s too expensive for you, I provide many affordable alternatives in my review for Crate 61-For Him. By the way, Crate 61 ended up being my #1 choice for an all natural soap brand. I evaluated over 10 brands of soap; eight met my price requirement. However, in terms of being all natural, only Crate 61, Varina, and Dr. Squatch qualified by my strict definition. At the time of purchase, Crate 61 cost $0.83/ounce, as compared to $1.26/ounce for Dr. Squatch (10-pack).
You can buy Dr. Squatch soap by the bar, in a three-pack of a single flavor, in a five-pack of a single flavor, or in variety packs of four, five, or ten flavors. You can also purchase the soap bars in combination packs that include other products (e.g., with deodorants in the same flavors as the soaps). There are so many listings for this soap on Amazon that I couldn’t possibly look at all of them, so the following information is provided just to give you an idea of how the price can vary. I suggest that you explore Amazon and look for the best price.
PRICING INFORMATION UPDATED AS OF 7/14/23
Single Flavors
• Single pack: $11.49-$24.95 ($2.30-$4.99/ounce)
• Three-pack: $29.21-$32.45 ($1.95-$2.16/ounce)
• Five-pack: $46.45 ($1.86/ounce)
Variety Packs
• Four-pack: $39.95 ($2.00/ounce)
• Five-pack: $46.45 ($1.86/ounce)
• Ten-pack: $62.46-$74.95 ($1.25-$1.50/ounce)
Just to give you an idea, the soaps that I bought for my study of economical, all natural men’s soaps cost me between $0.71 and $1.06/ounce (at the time of purchase). I took advantage of a sale and bought a Dr. Squatch 10-pack when it was on sale for $1.12/ounce so that I could evaluate it. For reference, the set I purchased would cost me $74.95 today ($1.50/ounce).
If you read the questions posted for Dr. Squatch on Amazon, a common question goes something like this, “Why does Dr. Squatch soap cost so much?” And the response, in turn, goes something like this, “What you pay for a product is a personal choice.” In other words, if you want to pay the price, you will pay the price; and, if you don’t, you won’t. The sentiment seems to be, “Nobody is forcing you to pay this price.”
The response, while true, presents a rather cold line of logic, and I’d respond to Dr. Squatch as follows. Soap is basically saponified oil. I’m probably oversimplifying things here, but I’m not an expert soap maker: Through the process of saponification, oil and lye are combined to produce soap. Everything else is just icing on the cake. For example, producers often add shea butter to make the soap better for the skin.
Now I’m going to give you a bit of homework. Compare the ingredients of Crate 61 soaps with the ingredients of Dr. Squatch soaps. You will find that they are quite similar. Then exercise your freedom of choice and decide if you’d rather pay $0.83/ounce for Crate 61 or between $1.25 and $4.99 an ounce for Dr. Squatch. If you still decide to purchase Dr. Squatch, “Nobody is forcing you to pay 2-6 times as much for a similar product!”
Aside from my issue with the price, if you’re willing to pay it, Dr. Squatch is a good soap. Read on to learn more.
The Basics
Here are some basic stats on Dr. Squatch (UPDATED AS OF 7/14/23). This brand offers an incredible number of purchase options, so the following is specifically for the 10 Bar Set 3 listing, which is the one that I bought for my study.
• Price/pack: $74.95
• Soaps/pack: 10
• Ounces/bar: 5 ounces
• Price/bar: $7.50 (Since soaps come in all sizes, you should really look at the price/ounce to compare different soap brands.)
• Price/ounce: $1.50 (This is about 50% greater than my $1.00/ounce max for my study.)
• Scents (my descriptors): Masculine, Earthy, Fruity, and Fresh
• 4-5 Star Rating: 93% (Combines the percentage of people giving the soap a four- or five-star rating. I only considered soaps that rated over 80% on this criterion.)
• # Ratings: 7,466 (The total number of ratings received. I only considered soaps with hundreds of ratings.)
The number of ratings is for the 10-pack set that I purchased. If, however, you look at the five-pack sets, some have over 20,000 ratings, which shows that Dr. Squatch is a popular brand of men’s soaps.
What is natural?
In my review for Crate 61-For Him, I explain in detail my definition of “all natural.” In a nutshell, an all natural soap should contain essential oils, other natural ingredients like shea butter, and nothing else. No additives, no fragrances, no micas, no colorants, and, of course, no unpronounceable chemicals. I stand to be corrected, but, by this definition, I believe that the only soaps in my study that would make the cut are Crate 61, Varina, and Dr. Squatch. All others would fail on one account or another.
You’ll have to decide what you’re willing to live with; for, if you use the same strict definition that I do, you’ll be hard pressed to find many options.
UPDATE (7/14/23): Since I first posted this review, I’ve had an opportunity to test a few more brands that I would consider 100% all natural. The one that seems to be the closest match to Dr. Squatch is Varina. This brand offers an equally dizzying array of purchase options. For comparison, the 10-bar Varina set for men that I purchased (Mens 2 Variety) cost $44.99 ($1.00/ounce). I highly recommend that Dr. Squatch fans try this brand and compare the two. In short, I preferred Varina because it’s less expensive, higher in quality, more fragrant, and better for your skin. Compare the two and decide for yourself.
More on Dr. Squatch 10 Bar Set 3
One of the things that I appreciated about Dr. Squatch is that it takes away the guesswork of looking for a soap that would appeal to men, for 100% of their soaps are for men. Of course, whether a scent is appealing or not is very much a question of personal taste. There’s nothing I could write that could tell you if you would like a particular scent or not. You just have to try it. Fortunately, shopping for Dr. Squatch soaps is like going into a Baskin Robbins Ice Cream shop. There are so many flavors that you’re bound to find one that you like!
Here’s how I would group the soaps in the set that I bought:
• Earthy: Eucalyptus Greek Yogurt*, Pine Tar*, Alpine Sage, and Spearmint Basil*
• Fruity: Grapefruit IPA*
• Fresh: Cool Fresh Aloe
• Combination Bars: Cedar Citrus* (could have gone in Earthy or Fruity category as well)
• Neutral (very mild scent): Deep Sea Goat’s Milk, Bay Rum, Gold Moss
*These were some of my favorite scents. One of the fun things about trying out different soaps is that you’ll discover what you like and what you don’t. For example, I clearly prefer earthy, minty, and fruity scents (particularly those of the citrus variety). On the other hand, others might prefer fresh-smelling soaps or soaps with a more neutral scent. You’ll have to figure this out for yourself.
Overall, the scents of Dr. Squatch soaps are mild, so you don’t have to worry about your partner or co-workers finding the scents overpowering or offensive. I tried soap brands that resulted in others having a very definite negative reaction to the scents; thus, if you have a partner, it might be good to get their reaction. You become blind to how you smell, so getting a second opinion is always a good idea. If, on the other hand, you think you might prefer stronger scents, I offer some suggestions in another section.
A Word on Grit
Kudos to Dr. Squatch for listing how much grit is in each soap. This is something that I’ve seen few brands do. The grit helps to exfoliate your skin; however, some men like grit and some men don’t. Dr. Squatch soaps may have zero, medium, or heavy grit. Personally, I didn’t mind the grit even in the soap with heavy grit, but you’ll have to see if you like it or not.
If you explore reviews of other brands on Amazon, some people have been injured (scratched or cut) by the exfoliating ingredients in natural soaps. I don’t think this is a concern with Dr. Squatch, for it seems like the grit is refined enough that this isn’t a danger. In any case, be cautious and use a gentle touch with the soaps with grit until you find the amount of pressure that feels good to you. Of course, examine your body in the mirror after your shower to make sure that the grit hasn’t caused any cuts or scratches, for you won’t necessarily feel it if you get scratched.
In the following sections, I compare Dr. Squatch to other soaps and brands. As I share this information, remember that these rankings are subjective and represent my preferences. Your preferences might be very different. As I go along, I’ll try and explain why you might rank Dr. Squatch higher or lower.
Dr. Squatch Versus Sets of Other Brands (RATINGS UPDATED 7/14/23)
Here’s how Dr. Squatch stacks up to other sets of soap that I tried. Herein I include sets that weren’t marketed specifically to men but, in my opinion, are quite appropriate for men. I would recommend any of the sets on this list, and I would rebuy any of these with pleasure.
1. Age of Sage-Masculine (87%)
2. Varina (87%)
3. 360 Feel-Men’s (84%)
4. Crate 61-Citrus (83%)
5. Crate 61-For Him (83%)
6. Age of Sage-Fruity (81%)
7. Crate 61-Popular (81%)
8. Crate 61-Dry Skin (80%)
9. Dr. Squatch (79%)
10. Age of Sage-Galactic (79%)
11. Age of Sage-Macho (77%)
12. 360 Feel-Fresh (77%)
I prefer strong, bold scents that are earthy or fruity, and my rankings reflect this. Dr. Squatch’s scents are mild. If you prefer mild scents, you may well have ranked Dr. Squatch higher on this list.
Here’s some general advice:
• If you prefer earthy scents that are strong and bold, try Age of Sage-Masculine or Varina.
• If you prefer earthy and fruity scents that are moderate, try 360 Feel-Men’s.
• If you prefer earthy and fruity scents that are mild-moderate, try Crate 61-For Him.
• If you prefer earthy and fruity scents that are mild, try Dr. Squatch.
• If you prefer fresh scents, Age of Sage-Macho and 360 Feel-Fresh are your best options.
• If you have sensitive skin or don’t like scented soaps, Crate 61-Dry Skin is an excellent option.
Dr. Squatch Versus Sets of Other Brands for Men (RATINGS UPDATED 7/14/23)
Here’s how Dr. Squatch stacks up to other sets marketed to men. Dr. Squatch took fifth place. Seventy-five percent was my cutoff for sets that I would rebuy.
1. Age of Sage-Masculine (87%)
2. Varina-Men’s Set (87%)
3. 360 Feel-Men’s (84%)
4. Crate 61-For Him (83%)
5. Dr. Squatch (79%)
6. Age of Sage-Macho (77%)
7. Bali-Men’s (74%)
8. Purelis-Men’s (73%)
9. Natural American-Soldier (72%)
10. Natural American-Elements (71%)
Again, you may well have ranked Dr. Squatch higher if you prefer milder scents. If you prefer bolder scents, you’d probably agree with my rankings.
Dr. Squatch Versus Other Brands (RATINGS UPDATED 7/14/23)
Here’s how Dr. Squatch stacks up as a brand. Again, 75% was my cutoff for brands I would rebuy.
1. Crate 61 (82%)
2. Varina (82%)
3. Dr. Squatch (82%)
4. Age of Sage (81%)
5. 360 Feel (80%)
6. Bali (74%)
7. Dr. Bronner (73%)
8. Purelis (73%)
9. Natural American (71%)
On this list, the rankings reflect my preference for a 100% all natural soap. Only three brands, Crate 61, Varina, and Dr. Squatch met my strict requirement for all natural. (For more on this topic, see my review for Crate 61-For Him.) All three are an excellent choice, but here’s how I would distinguish them:
1. Crate 61: Best overall value. Highly popular brand with strong reputation.
2. Varina: New brand. Similar to Dr. Squatch but more economical, more fragrant, and more moisturizing.
3. Dr. Squatch: Most expensive. Well established brand. Highly popular. Mild scents.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Dr. Squatch
Here are the strengths of Dr. Squatch:
• Met my strict definition of all natural! Honest ingredients!
• Extensive assortment of flavors … all for men!
• Lists the grit factor on the box (zero, medium, and heavy).
The first factor is the most important one to me. It’s why I spent six months testing over 10 brands of soap and over 20 sets of soap.
Here are the weaknesses of Dr. Squatch:
• It is one of the most expensive all natural soaps for men that you can buy. The price/bar for the single bar ranges from $11-$25. They really gouge you if you buy it individually rather than in a pack.
• Since my study focused on men’s soaps in the lower price bracket, I didn’t compare Dr. Squatch to other expensive men’s soaps. However, I invite you to explore the reviews on Amazon. Some state that, with Dr. Squatch, you’re paying for the brand and that there are better men’s soaps in its price range.
• The scents are weak. This could be an advantage if you prefer weak scents, but I prefer moderate to strong scents.
Would I Buy Dr. Squatch Soaps Again?
I would only buy them again if they were on sale. Dr. Squatch gets kudos for being truly all natural; thus, even though it’s pricier, I might buy it again if the price were right.
My Recommendations for Dr. Squatch
• Lower the price! At least use more honest pricing with the single packs. There’s no excuse for charging more than double for a single bar versus the packs! This is price gouging!
• I liked the variety packs, but you have so many flavors in your collection that you could probably afford to sell them in variety packs that are themed. Here are some ideas:
o Fruity/Citrus Pack
o Earthy/Woodsy Pack
o Unscented/Sensitive Skin Pack
o Fresh Scent Pack
• You could probably repackage these very same soaps and sell them to women under another brand name. I would guess that the following would probably appeal to women:
o Fruity/citrus soaps
o Fresh scent soaps
o Unscented soaps/soaps for sensitive skin
To end on a positive note, I congratulate Dr. Squatch for being a truly all natural soap. Read your labels! Many soaps claim to be all natural; but, when you read the list of ingredients, you find all kinds of unexpected surprises!

Extra for Experts
I’m going to end each of my reviews with a different tip. These are lessons that I learned along the way. I hope these tips will help you as you continue your journey to find the perfect soap for you!
Tip #3
Look for soaps with honest scents and ingredients.
An honest scent is one that is clearly identifiable by the name of the soap and its ingredients. Dr. Squatch qualifies in this regard. What you read is what you get. Here’s an example. If I try the Eucalyptus Greek Yogurt soap, I expect to smell hints of eucalyptus in the soap, and I expect to see eucalyptus and Greek yogurt in the ingredients. Indeed, here’s the list of ingredients for that soap:
Olive oil, sustainable palm oil, coconut oil, GREEK YOGURT, shea butter, EUCALYPTUS essential oil, oatmeal, kaolin clay, and sea salt.
To be sincere, I don’t know what Greek yogurt is supposed to smell like (or if it even has a scent); however, if it does, the Greek yogurt in the ingredients will contribute to the scent of the soap. I know what eucalyptus smells like; eucalyptus is listed in the ingredients; and I could smell the eucalyptus in the soap! Life is good!
Now let’s look at a counterexample. Age of Sage-Macho, for example, includes a soap called Mountain Air in that set. Do you know what Mountain Air is supposed to smell like? I don’t! Here’s a list of the ingredients for that soap:
Coconut oil, canola oil, soybean oil, shea butter, water, sodium hydroxide (lye), olive pomace oil, sunflower oil, and fragrance.
Just a quick side note: Some manufacturers list lye in the ingredients; others don’t. Either way, rest assured: lye is used to make soap, but there’s no lye in the final product.
I’m being a little tongue-in-cheek here, but I see neither MOUNTAINS nor AIR in the ingredients. What I do see is fragrance, and this fragrance gives the soap a fresh, clean scent. This is a common practice by many soaps manufacturers that annoys me to no end! What exactly did you add to the soap to give it its scent? I want to know because it may make a difference to me.
In my view, an all natural soap should derive its scent, not from some generic and unspecified fragrance, but from the essential oils (or other ingredients) that it contains. Dr. Squatch’s Eucalyptus Greek Yogurt soap, as you might expect, contains both eucalyptus and Greek yogurt, and it smells like eucalyptus. On the other hand, I have no idea what Age of Sage-Macho added to its soap to give it its scent, and I have no idea what Mountain Air is supposed to smell like. If you buy it, you are gambling on whether you’ll like it because you don’t know what to expect based on its name or its ingredients.
In sum, this may not be an issue for others, but it really pushes my buttons whenever I see “fragrance” in the ingredients, and this is reflected in my rankings. Brands for which there is a clear correlation between the ingredients, the name of the soap, and the scent score higher in my book.
In the end, three brands qualified as being 100% all natural and having honest scents and ingredients: Crate 61, Varina, and Dr. Squatch. Thus, if honest scents and ingredients are important to you, give these brands a try.
A Final Note
Now go out there and find the soap that’s right for you!
Tracee Sprau –
This stuff is expensive when compared to most soaps, like Irish Spring, or Dove. For me, a single bar lasts about a month, showering at least once per day. Even though it’s pungent, I like the way it smells, and I love the way it cleans and makes my skin feel. The smell on my skin lasts the entire day, too. Do I wish the bar lasted longer? Yes. Is it expensive compared to cheaper brands? Absolutely.
But ever since I started using it, my wife can’t keep her hands off me. $60 for year’s worth of that is definitely worth it.
DoodleMom –
I love the smell throughout the bath and bedroom when my husband emerges from his shower. Not even sure which scent is my favorite because he always smells great! It’s expensive, but the essence is long-lasting on his body and our bedroom!
perfectmoonbeam –
I have purchased Dr. Squatch Men’s Soap for several years now. My husband loves this soap. They come in different grits and work well on your skin. They smell good and moisturizing. I would highly recommend buying this soap for men and women.
Corey Mackay –
Great product, however I would not recommend the variety pack. Goats milk, sage and spearmint are the best kinds (gf approved).
If you want to smell like the forest and/or a hippy, variety pack is for you. Otherwise, go with the spearmint, sage or goats milk. Regardless of your choice, the soap will leave your skin feeling healthier and happier!
John Parker –
Loved the softness of my husbands skin. He’s a very dry skinned human and this works so well for him! Thank you sqwatch!!
Lathers up awesomely! Could be a bit larger though! Love that my husband tossed his nasty soap leaver, yuckie soap that stays on your skin. And it’s determatolagist recommended yuck!!@
USE DR SQUATCH SIAP ITS FANTASTIC
Luis B. –
I started with Squatch about 1.5 years ago. Wanted to try natural just to see the hype. Well I haven’t turned back. These like other natural soaps leave your body feeling clean yet refreshed. Does it make you feel like you are under a waterfall as Squatch says?? Nah but really makes you feel good.
Tip: Get them right here at Amazon especially when on sale.
