Stay Scent-Free in the Field: Why Hunters Should Use Unscented Natural Soap

When it comes to hunting, silence and stillness are only part of the game. The scent you carry into the woods can make or break your entire hunt. Deer, elk, and other game animals have an incredibly sharp sense of smell—many times more sensitive than a dog’s. That means even the faintest fragrance from your soap or detergent can give away your position long before you’re spotted.

That’s where unscented natural soap comes in—and it could be your best tool after your rifle or bow.

Why Scent Matters to Hunters

Most hunters know the importance of staying downwind and camouflaged. But many overlook the hidden giveaway: personal scent. Commercial soaps and body washes often contain synthetic fragrances, oils, and chemicals that cling to skin and clothes. These artificial scents may smell pleasant to us—but to a whitetail deer, they scream “danger.”

Even "fragrance-free" products can contain masking agents or preservatives that still leave behind a scent trail.

Natural, Unscented Soap = No Surprises

Our natural, unscented soap is made without synthetic fragrance, dyes, or additives. It uses cold-pressed oils—like coconut oil and rice bran oil—to effectively clean without leaving behind residue or unnatural odors. It’s strong enough to handle post-hunt dirt and sweat, but gentle enough to keep your scent profile neutral in the field.

Other Benefits for Hunters

Skin-friendly: No harsh detergents means less skin irritation after long days outdoors

Eco-safe: If you’re washing up at camp or near water sources, you won’t be polluting the environment

Gear safe: Unscented soap is safe for washing reusable gear like gloves, hats, and face coverings
