Natural soap and personal care company Dr. Squatch teamed up with 343 Industries' Halo franchise to create a limited-edition Spartan Scrub Soap. This body care product marks the celebration of Halo's 20th anniversary and it promises to leave consumers' "energized, focused, and ready to take on any challenge in gaming or in life."
Inspired by Halo lore, the all-natural bar of soap integrates ingredients such as exfoliating Little John and Bishops Wort and soothing Sevenbark Root. The scent of the Spartan Scrub Soap shares the calming natural scents of silver sage, yuzu and cedarwood, and the color of the bar soap reminds of the Master Chief's green armor and the orange visor on the helmet.
