The Nightmare Before Christmas collab from Dr. Squatch brings a touch of gothic fantasy to the holiday season through a limited-edition collection of handcrafted soaps inspired by Tim Burton’s classic film. Designed to blend the whimsical spirit of Halloween with the warmth of Christmas, the collaboration highlights the brand’s commitment to natural ingredients and imaginative craftsmanship.
The first soap, 'Skellington’s Suds,' captures the duality of the holidays with a fragrance that combines brandy plum, pumpkin spice, black vanilla, and chestnut. Formulated with "coconut oil, pumice, and bone flower extract, it provides a gently exfoliating, aromatic cleanse that evokes both cheer and mischief."
The second bar, 'Oogie Boogie’s Brew,' reflects the playful villainy of Oogie Boogie himself, featuring roasted pistachio, ginger, and warm tonka bean. Crafted with coconut oil, pumice, and wormwood extract, it delivers a bold, invigorating scent. Both soaps are available in themed sets, including the 'Ghoul Tidings 2-Pack' and 'Season’s Creepings 4-Pack.'
