Boston’s Forgotten Custom Cocktail Bar

Ward Eight is a custom-blended cocktail soap built around one of Boston’s old-school classics. Kentucky Bourbon, lemon, amaretto, and orange essential oil come together to recreate the bright, boozy character of the Ward Eight cocktail in soap form.

Fresh orange and lemon open the scent with a crisp citrus snap, followed by smoky bourbon depth and subtle cherry-almond sweetness from the amaretto. It is smooth, bright, slightly sweet, and far more interesting than another basic citrus bar.

Made with kaolin clay for excellent lather and added slickness, Ward Eight delivers a smooth wash with a fragrance you will not find anywhere else.

For those who appreciate forgotten classics, because the best drinks are not always the most famous.

Olive Oil, Organic Palm Oil, Water, Coconut Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Shea Butter, Fragrance Oil, Castor Oil, Kaolin Clay, Titanium Dioxide, Sugar, Mica

The Ward Eight cocktail dates back to the late 1800s and is commonly tied to Boston politics, named for the city’s Eighth Ward. Traditionally made with whiskey, citrus, and grenadine, it became one of Boston’s signature cocktails, even if it never got the same fame as the Manhattan or Old Fashioned.

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.

First timer for Ward Eight

I always liked the smell of Ward Eight but had not purchased yet. However I did this week and I’m delighted! The new colors are bright and eye catching and I still love the fragrance! So clean and fruity….

Still loving the Ward 8 experience

This is great soap! I have recently smelled some other notable soap lines, but Prohibition fragrances are far more pleasing to me. And the look and design itself is much more creative too. These soaps even look attractive on the counter - especially the multicolored bars.

Ward 8 lives up to the reputation

All of my experience with this company's soap is that the scents are refreshing and the quality of soap excellent. They last a long time and do not dry the skin at all. Ward 8 is no exception. Great product!

Tried a new soap fragrance - Love it!

Ward 8 is a new soap for me. It has a great fragrance but is not overpowering. For me, it reminds me a little of a fruity smell. Looking forward to using this new soap in the collection.

Cold Process Soap

Real Soap. Serious Chemistry.

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.

  • Made from Scratch in Small Batches

  • Naturally Retained Glycerin

  • Every bar is unique

HOW COLD PROCESS WORKS
Section Image
Castor Oil in Every Recipe

Criminally Good Lather

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.

  • Fluffy, Satisfying Lather

  • Helps Keep Bubbles Stable

  • Included in Every Recipe

WHY WE USE CASTOR OIL
Section Image
Shea Butter in Every Bar

A Softer Touch in Every 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.

  • Adds a Conditioning Touch

  • Helps Create a Firm Bar

  • Shea Butter in Every Recipe

WHY WE USE SHEA BUTTER

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

How fast will my order arrive?

We typically ship orders within 1-2 days. Excluding weekends, holidays, and wholesale orders. 

How is natural soap different?

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.

Is the soap really handmade?

Yes! Every batch, every bar, is handmade.

What do WE mean by small-batch?

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.

Are your products vegan/cruelty-free?

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.

How long do your bar soaps last?

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.

THE VERDICT
