Absinthe is an emerald-green bar soap inspired by the mysterious spirit known as the Green Fairy. Sharp anise, fennel, and melissa create its herbal core, while warm cinnamon, nutmeg, amber, and woods give the fragrance a darker, spiced finish. Ground rolled oats add gentle exfoliation to a bar that is as distinctive as the legend behind it.
Also available in: Beard Oil, Beard Balm, Beard Butter, and Mustache Wax.
Darkly herbal, warmly spiced, and just forbidden enough to earn its name.
All-natural oils. Organic palm oil and mica are responsibly and sustainably sourced.
Traditionally made, cold-processed soap bars work best with a soap dish that lets the bar dry out. Avoid leaving in standing water.
As these soaps are handmade in small batches, pictures are for reference only. Color, shape, and weight may vary slightly.

Customers praised this soap for its unique, inviting scent with black licorice notes. Reviews highlight "excellent lather," high quality, and long-lasting formula. Shoppers noted the soap is "one of my faves" though some mentioned it has a softer compound and uses up quickly. Skin-friendly without drying effects.
Managed to snag a cold process Absinthe, and I love it! This is the kind of stuff that keeps me coming back to Prohibition Soap.
So pleased with this soap! The packaging was carefully and beautifully done, and the soap smells and feels amazing!
Amazing soap! The scent is great. The idea is just mind-blowing that they decided to call it absinthe. I love it though
Great smell, excellent lather. Compound is soft, bar use is on the swifter side.
Incredible! One of my faves!
This soap smells great. Has a unique smell to it. This would be one of those that I would order in bulk just to have in stock. I’m a very picky person when it comes to soaps. I have all kinds of brands and this soap is on my top list to keep buying
This is my favorite kind of soap. I love the smell of it.
Anise, which is the black licorice scent, is a polarizing scent. This bay, however, is expertly blended and smells fantastic. Another winner!
All of the soaps I recently ordered but this was one of my favorites! Smells just like the real deal!
Wonderful!
Really nice!
Very easy to order. I received my order promptly. You can tell that this soap is high quality as it is long lasting with a great scent. I can highly recommend.
I was not familiar with Absinthe, but once I was able to smell the soap, I really liked it alot! So far, I have liked all the scents I have used. Good lather, interesting scents, and has not dried out my skin, which often has happened with other soaps. The website is visually quite interesting and I look forward to the holiday scents in the future!

Pick your scent, enjoy the lather, and get the most out of every bar.
Add this one to your cart, or grab a few scents to switch things up.
Work up a rich lather and enjoy a shower worth looking forward to.
Rest your bar on a draining soap dish between showers to help it last longer.
Cold process starts with oils, butters, and lye. Through a chemical reaction called saponification, they become soap and naturally produce glycerin. We make our bars from scratch, then let them cure as excess water evaporates. Every batch takes careful chemistry, hands-on craftsmanship, and patience.
Every oil has a job. Castor oil helps create a fluffy, stable lather. We use it in every recipe, balanced with our other oils and butters, so that satisfying foam is part of the deal. A small ingredient with a serious role in your daily wash.
Shea butter earns its keep by adding a conditioning feel to our soap and gives the bar firmness. We include it in every recipe, balanced with our other oils for a smooth, comfortable wash. The good stuff has a permanent place in this family.

Best I have ever used
I have had a big white beard for a long time. I have tried all the big companies. None of the companies have done for my beard what yours has. I love all the products. I will be a customer for life. The best part above all that is I can support my fellow veterans.

Very impressed
This is a very unique smell. I have upwards of 60 beard oils and butters - this is my second purchase from Prohibition - I am very impressed. The quality is evident. The size of the jar is easily the biggest I have seen.

Phenomenal
When the water hits this bar, all of the scents just fill up your senses. The orange, lime, wine, and tequila. I have never had the Sidecar drink, but if it taste like the fragrance this soap emits, I would drink myself silly!

Incredible!
One squirt covered both arms and upper body! A little goes a long way with this lotion! My skin literally feels like velvet. The smell is earthy and unique and I'm loving it! Also, it's cheaper, and safer than Bath and Body products for the same size!

This melt truly smells of a fresh picked and sliced apple. The long lasting fragrance is so sweet!
Got questions? We’ve got answers!
We typically ship orders within 1-2 days. Excluding weekends, holidays, and wholesale orders.
According to the FDA, "There are very few true soaps on the market. Most body cleansers, both liquid and solid, are actually synthetic detergent products". But why? Cheap, easily manufactured, and easily makes suds, that's why.
Soap made naturally using the cold process method chemically forms natural glycerin, which draws moisture to the skin. Commercially made "soap" may not contain glycerin, and if it does, it's added from the by-product of another product.
Yes! Every batch, every bar, is handmade.
We make our cold-processed soaps in batches of 27 bars.
This means that each batch, and even each bar, is unique. No two bars are exactly the same.
All of our products are vegan except for our lotions and creams. None of our products or the ingredients we source have been tested on animals. We purchase all raw materials from reputable, sustainable/responsible sources.
With proper care (keeping them dry between uses), our premium bar soaps typically last 4-6 weeks with daily use.
Best when used with a soap dish.
Quality ingredients mean quality performance.
A cheap bar isn’t much of a bargain when it disappears too quickly. Our handmade cold-process soap is made to last, with bold scents you’ll look forward to using.
