The crisp, evergreen scent of Southern Oregon's tallest peak.
There's a moment on the trail up Mt. Ashland where the air changes. It becomes crisp, clean, and saturated with the scent of high-altitude evergreens. This beloved soap is our tribute to that feeling, blending sharp notes of spruce, pine, and fir with a grounding hint of sage. We even infuse it with real ground sage for an earthy, trail-like texture and add zinc oxide to help soothe wind-chapped skin. It's an entire mountain experience, handcrafted for your shower.
“For me, the scent of Mt. Ashland is the smell of home. It’s not just pine; it’s more complex. I wanted to capture that specific, sacred feeling of the mountain air and the earth under your boots. The ground sage and zinc oxide make it feel even more like the real thing.”
