SOAK
- 100% Natural
- Ethically Crafted
- Carbon NEUTRAL
A luxurious and indulgent bath soak featuring mineral-rich salts combined with unique, limited edition natural fragrance blends. Use SOAK to release muscles, ease pain and inflammation, soften and soothe dry, irritated skin, and promote tranquility and rest.
WHAT DOES IT DO?
This limited edition release has been formulated to decongest pores, promote healthy circulation, and generate a calming, grounding, and relaxing effect on the body and mind.
WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE?
Bath salts are an ancient skincare ritual, but much of what is available today is mass-produced and filled with refined ingredients, cheap fillers, and nasty additives. We make no shortcuts and use only the finest ingredients from sustainable artisan sources.
We also create our bath salts in limited editions, changing our offering at least once a year. Get the current edition now before it’s gone!
HOW TO USE
Add approximately 1 cup of salt (or a third of the bag) to warm running water. Soak for at least 15 minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic.
FORMULATION WHY
We love baths in our household and enjoy them frequently. When we launched our first bath soak, it was a creative experiment using ingredients I had on hand, some of which were reserved for future projects. Although the initial scent blend was a huge success, I decided to make each SOAK blend a limited edition offering, allowing me to be experimental and seasonally inspired. Feel free to share any suggestions for the next batch; we are always seeking new inspiration.
INGREDIENTS
Magnesium sulfate (EPSOM SALT), sodium chloride (HIMALAYAN PINK & DEAD SEA SALT), organic honey powder, seasonal fragrance blend (from 100% PLANT OILS)

What’s the difference between table salt and sea salts?
All salt contains sodium chloride. Table salt is typically mined from underground deposits and processed to remove other minerals. Sea salt is a general term for salt produced by the evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes. It is less processed than table salt and retains trace minerals. Dead Sea salt provides an unparalleled concentration of beneficial minerals known to prevent and treat multiple skin conditions such as psoriasis, acne, hives, and rashes. This unique salt provides immune support, helps to alkalize the cells of the body to maintain optimal pH balance, and purifies the system as a whole. Our SOAK blend also features pink Himalayan salt, which is mined near the Himalayan Mountains of South Asia. Sea salt typically contains minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, while Himalayan salt is known for including iron, zinc, and trace elements.
How much SOAK should I use?
Add approximately 1 cup of salt per bath for a soothing experience. However, if you're feeling indulgent, you can add the full bag for an extra luxurious soak.
Are there any contraindications?
Hot or warm baths should not be used by people with certain medical conditions except on the advice of a physician, especially pregnant or breastfeeding women.
