Cedarwood: Our most recent soap with a grounding aroma of warm and woody cedar wood, is a our take on this all-time classic scent. The wood was burned by the Greeks and Romans to fragrance the air.

Coriander Citrus:  A bright duo of coriander and citrus essential oils, awakening and uplifting. Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter and essential oils.

Lavender Oatmeal:  A classic combination of lavender essential oil and ground oats, this mild exfoliating soap is terrific for face or body. Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter, oatmeal, and essential oils.

Rose Hip & Apricot Kernel Scrub: A limited-edition soap celebrating the September release of Samin Nosrat’s second cookbook, Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love.

This scrubbing bar soap is intended for your kitchen sink - or wherever you wash up after coming in from the garden. The addition of rose hips and apricot kernel meal make for a gritty bar that loosens dirt (or grease) from hands. The scent is floral, bright and peppery - a blend of essential oils featuring clary sage, rose geranium and black pepper. Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter, ground rose hips, apricot kernel meal and essential oils.

Vetiver with French Green Clay: French green clay works in this soap to gently draw out impurities and tighten the pores. A good facial soap for those with sensitive and oily skin. The essential oil blend focuses on vetiver, a smoky scent, rounded out by the addition of citrus. Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter, french green clay, and essential oils.

Clary Sage & Dill: The scent of this soap is clean, earthy, and bright. It's worth mentioning that smelling clary sage essential oil is known to induce euphoria. Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter, dill weed, and essential oils.

Saltwater: An essential oil blend creates a scent reminiscent of the ocean. Made with salt and nori. Contrary to popular belief this is not an exfoliating soap; though the salt conditions the water as you shower and creates a creamy and unique lather. Contains saponified oils of olive, coconut, and castor, with shea butter, salt, nori, and essential oils.
