A Gold Rush soap from Mystic
Daniel F. Packer (1825-1904) was the youngest of 11 children in an old Mystic, Connecticut family. He went to California in the 1849 Gold Rush, spent three years there, and came home interested in soap. In 1869 he began selling Packer's All Healing Tar Soap in Mystic. The same soap, now called Packer's Pine Tar Soap, has been sold without a break for more than 150 years, and the brand says Packer's Pine is held in the National Museum of American History.
The line has grown from one bar to a scrub bar, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, all built on pine tar and pine oil. The company says its formulas are free of creosote, parabens and sulfates.
Where Packer's says it is made
Packer's FAQ answers the question "Where are your products made?" with "our products are all made in the good ol' USA (for over 150 years!)." We found no imported Packer's product.
The company's office is at 1930 Innovation Way in Libertyville, Illinois. The brand does not say whether its soap and shampoo are made there or by a manufacturer elsewhere in the US, so we treat the origin as USA, without a named factory.
