In 1869, in the quaint fishing village of Mystic, Connecticut, Daniel F. Packer, adventurer and entrepreneur, originated and sold "Packer's All Healing Tar Soap". This famous soap, now called "Packer's Pine Tar Soap", has been marketed continuously for over 140 years. Packer's proprietary formula of natural pine tar and pine oils has provided millions of people with soothing help for a variety of skin conditions.
