The brand or name of the soap that the real Howard Hughes used has not been disclosed. However, the black soap featured in the movie is called Packer's Pine Tar Soap.
The movie "The Aviator" depicts Howard Hughes (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) as washing his hands frequently and systematically with pine tar soap.
In a brief flashback, Hughes, as a child, is cleansed by his mother with a type of black soap. She is concerned that he will catch a fatal disease. In later years, he instinctively washed his hands with that same soap, which he carried around with him in a small tin.
Howard Hughes was a notorious eccentric and talented billionaire. He was a driven and often successful aeronautics engineer, motion-picture producer, and ladies' man in Hollywood during the 1920s to 1940s. Among other issues, Hughes appears to have been affected by symptoms of OCD.
