The Acadian Forest '3-in-1' Shampoo + Shave + Soap Story

This amazing bar is made with salt water straight from the Atlantic Ocean! It's quite literally made for every body, as its rich lather is terrific for shampoo, shave & soap! We've got you covered from top to toe with this product.

This refreshing bar is scented with our signature blend of essential oils starring balsam, cedarwood, pine & birch, & is like taking a walk in the woods! 😊

Lather up to leave hair feeling squeaky clean, shave smooth without drying skin, & soothe your skin with the rich lather all over. Plus, most hair types don't need any conditioner, either.

A super-effective bar for travel & bathing in nature. We enjoy using this no-spill 3-in-1 solution daily at home, too!

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

• Plain language: Sea water, olive oil, castor oil, coconut oil, sodium hydroxide (see note below), jojoba oil, apricot kernel oil, shea butter, essential oils: balsam, birch, cedarwood, pine
• INCI terminology: Aqua, olea europaea fruit oil, ricinus communis seed oil, cocos nucifera oil, sodium hydroxide, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, prunus armeniaca, butyrospermum parkii, abies balsamea oil, betula lenta oil, juniperus virginiana oil, pinus pinaster oil

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
