HOME & BODY GOODS HAND CRAFTED IN TOFINO
Bestselling Soap Inspired by the West Coast
Place-Based Scents
Small Batch Goods For Everyday Rituals
Late summer has a way of slowing things down on the coast. The days are still long, but there a subtle shift in the air that reminds us another season is just around the corner.
Here in Tofino, we've been in the studio pouring, blending, and wrapping each offering by hand. Every bar, bottle and candle are thoughtfully made in small batches with care and deep connection to this place we call home.
Thank you for supporting our family business and for inviting what we make into your everyday riturals.
With Care,

OUR CUSTOMERS SAY IT BEST
"Strongly Recommend! Decided to spurge on The Hobbyist line of bath and body care products the holiday season. Was planning to give some away as gifts but ended up keeping the bulk of my order for myself. The botanical soaps are my favourite. Will buy again."
"Absolute Magic! I’m so finicky when it comes to shampoo…not too drying, not too oily…and this is the goldilocks of hair care. Plus the smell is sensational. I love this shampoo!"
"Beautifully and sustainably packaged. I was able to repurpose most of the packaging too! They really put the utmost care into their products. The On the Inlet Candle is my favourite scent! I've never found such a clean combination of mint and lavendar. It's just wonderful."

Saying Yes to Less
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to grow a business. For years, I believed growth meant adding more. More products. More scents...
