==============================

Where the Pacific meets the forest, captured in layers of detoxifying salt and cedar.

Look at this bar. The teal sea layer over the sandy shore. Each one unique, like actual waves meeting beach. Kitty calls it "using a piece of art" and she's right, but this art works. The entire bar is infused with Pacific sea salt, not just for scrubbing but for serious skin benefits. The salt detoxifies, pulling impurities from pores while its minerals (magnesium, potassium) balance your skin's pH. The bottom layer adds ground walnut shells and poppy seeds for extra exfoliation. Salt bars are completely different from regular soap. They cure harder, last twice as long, and the antibacterial properties of sea salt help fight acne-causing bacteria throughout.

But the real magic is the scent. This isn't "beach" fragrance. It's Oregon's specific coast: that cold October Tuesday at Gold Beach smell. Cypress and cedarwood for the damp coastal forest. Eucalyptus and peppermint for the sharp, bracing air. A hit of lime for brightness. It's the smell of standing where massive evergreens meet violent ocean. Forest and sea in one bar.

"A cold October Tuesday at Gold Beach. That's what this soap is. The entire bar is loaded with Pacific sea salt, that's what makes it a true salt bar. But I designed two visual layers: the sandy bottom with walnut shells and poppy seeds, the smooth teal top like ocean water. The salt throughout detoxifies and hardens the whole bar so it lasts twice as long. Kitty says it's like using art. That's because each pour creates a unique shoreline where the layers meet. This is Oregon's coast in your shower."

Why You'll Love The Oregon Coast Soap Bar

• Detoxifying Sea Salt Throughout: Pacific sea salt pulls impurities, balances pH, and fights bacteria naturally. Not just on top, through the entire bar.
• Triple Exfoliation: Salt crystals, walnut shells, and poppy seeds work together to reveal fresh, smooth skin.
• Two-Layer Artistry: Each bar is unique, like an actual shoreline. Kitty calls it "a piece of art" and she's been buying it for a year.
• Salt Bar Longevity: Cures harder, lasts twice as long as regular soap. The salt makes it rock-solid between uses.
• The Actual Oregon Coast: Damp cedar, salt air, forest meeting sea. Not synthetic "beach" fragrance. The real thing.

This Is Why We Do It

"This is a beautiful product, it's like I'm using a piece of art to support my self-care routine, really looks like I have a piece of the beach in my shower. I've been buying this particular bar for the past year for my home and as gifts for my loved ones. Each bar is unique and masterfully crafted, which makes it extra special."

The Ritual

Wet the bar and watch the layers come alive: teal sea, sandy shore. The Pacific sea salt throughout draws out toxins while depositing minerals that hydrate and strengthen. The bottom layer adds extra scrubbing power with walnut shells polishing rough spots and poppy seeds providing gentle exfoliation. The forest-sea scent releases with the lather: cypress, cedar, eucalyptus creating that Oregon coast atmosphere. Rinse to reveal smoother, detoxified skin. The salt-hardened bar dries rock-solid between uses, lasting months longer than regular soap.
