By the Sea Shore | fir lavender eucalyptus | Botanical Soap
By the Sea Shore has become one of the cornerstones of our collection—a bar our community returns to time and time again.
There's something about walking the shoreline in Tofino that never gets old. The scent of salt hanging in the air, driftwood scattered along the beach, towering evergreens stretching toward the sky, and the quiet rhythm of the waves have a way of making everything else feel a little less important.
This bar is my way of bringing a little of that feeling home.
Fresh fir, calming lavender, and crisp eucalyptus come together in a custom blend of pure essential oils that feels clean, coastal, and deeply refreshing.
It's what's inside that counts:
Saponified oils of Olea europaea (olive), Cocos nucifera (organic coconut), Helianthus annuus (organic Canadian sunflower), Elaeis guineensis (organic and ethically sourced palm), Theobroma cacao (unrefined organic cocoa butter), Kaolinite (kaolin clay), Indigofera tinctoria (indigo powder), Vancouver Island sea salt, and a custom blend of pure essential oils including Abies sibirica (fir), Lavandula angustifolia (lavender), and Eucalyptus globulus (eucalyptus).
Every bar is handcrafted using the traditional cold process method, then cured for a minimum of four weeks to create a gentle, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather. Each one is sliced, beveled, stamped by hand, and weighs approximately 5 oz | 145 grams
To help your soap last even longer, allow it to dry between uses.
Mindfully made by hand in the coastal surf town of Tofino, on the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. Vegan, plant-powered, and made with ethically sourced ingredients.
