The Baby Soap Bar Story
This was the first product in our special line of baby care products. Created in 2014 for my oldest granddaughter who had eczema, it's since been used by many folks of all ages who want a gentle, moisturizing bar.
Made with sea water from the pristine Eastern Shore & hand-stirred with love, this bar is full of soothing chamomile botanical extract & organic oatmeal from Speerville Flour Mills of New Brunswick, plus lots & lots of nana-love! xoxoxo

Plain Language Ingredients
Sea water, vegetable shortening (soybean oil, palm oil [sustainably harvested]), coconut oil, olive oil, water, sodium hydroxide (see note below), chamomile botanical extract & New Brunswick organic oats
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)
During the curing process water evaporates & weight decreases, though shape remains the same. Fully cured bars are harder, so last longer, provided they are allowed to dry between uses.
Packaging Info
- Full bar & mini bar - Recyclable, compostable, zero-waste, plastic-free box
