Three studies,
made to stay with you.
Each of these is a close study of one subject and the specific things that belong to it.
Kalaloch
The Pacific Ocean anchors the experience on northwest coastal landscapes, forcefully asserting its power and diversity. Our Kalaloch soap exfoliates with sand quarried by the relentlessly pounding waves and integrates seawater to deliver natural salts and minerals. Sequim lavender — existing only because of a unique maritime mountain weather pattern — stands alone as the solitary essential oil.
New Moon
Far from city light, a new moon, by its absence, leaves a darkness pure and peculiar where the vastness of the stars captures your imagination. Star anise shines through a darkness of activated carbon — carbon being the basis of all known life, and literally star dust. Olive, coconut, and palm oils give a smooth lather; shea butter and avocado oil moisturize and protect.
Shine
As summer builds from the spring equinox, the days grow long and blessings from the sun shower a hemisphere with energy. Plants transmute that energy into their life force and build a foundation for most life on the planet. Shine pays homage to the sun: calendula petals celebrate the summer's peak while turmeric root holds a full season's energy in anticipation of the next.
Exploratory studies, made in limited runs.
Kalaloch, New Moon, and Shine are always here. Every so often we also release an exploratory study — a small batch tied to a wild harvest, a brief bloom, or a moment worth remembering, made in a limited run while the season that inspired it lasts. Sometimes there’s one running; sometimes a few at once.
Skagit Snowmelt
Snowmelt off the North Cascades runs cold through the valley's tulip fields. Glacial clay and a whisper of Skagit tulip — clean, mineral, and gone by summer.
Nurse Log
A fallen tree becomes the seedbed a whole new forest grows out of. Douglas fir and cedar over green clay, with ground conifer needles for the tooth of bark and duff.
