Dr. Squatch and Liquid Death return with a striking sequel to their sold-out collaboration, introducing 'Grime Reaper' and reviving the cult-favorite 'Dirt Destroyer.' This limited-edition soap duo blends bold storytelling with premium ingredients to deliver a uniquely invigorating hygiene ritual.
Grime Reaper is crafted with "Sea Salt, Pumice, and Blue Agave Extract, combining gentle abrasion with a crisp, citrus-wood aroma inspired by Liquid Death’s Lemon Iced Tea." Its gritty texture offers a purifying scrub designed to banish even the most persistent grime. Meanwhile, Dirt Destroyer returns with a powerful blend of "Dead Sea Salt and Liquid Death Mountain Water, energized by earthy notes of eucalyptus, juniper, and cedarwood" for a deep, refreshing cleanse.
Both soaps are available via direct-to-consumer channels and at Target locations across the U.S., with access limited to subscribers. Overall, this collection exemplifies the brands’ commitment to merging high-function grooming with subversive cultural appeal.
