The Unscented Baby Soap Story

25% of Every Bar is Salt Water

All year round we go to Port Hillford beach on the pristine Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia to collect sea water in five-gallon buckets. We've learned that crocs are the best thing to wear, as rubber boots simply fill up with water 😊 Once filtred through fine fabric, it makes up 25% of every bar!

Why? Salt water makes a harder bar so it lasts longer, salt water is soothing to skin, & most especially it's kind of romantic to use something that connects us to our ancestors who emigrated from the old country 10 generations ago.

Ingredients

• INCI terminology: Aqua, olea europaea fruit oil, cocos nucifera oil, glycine soja oil, elaeis guineensis oil, sodium hydroxide, avena sativa kernel meal, matricaria recutita chamomile flower extract, salt

Soap Making Note:  Sodium hydroxide (commonly referred to as 'lye') is necessary to cause the chemical reaction that makes oil & water become soap. Once the soap is soap, the lye is gone.😊 Please visit our FAQ page for more info about the saponification process.

Pack Options

Full bar: appx 100 grams* (cured)

Mini bar: appx 20 grams* (cured)

* While curing water evaporates & weight decreases, though shape remains the same. Fully cured bars are harder, so last longer, provided they dry between uses.

Packaging Info

Full bar & mini bar: Recyclable, compostable, zero-waste, plastic-free box
