Our Story
Who we are
Salt + Clay cold process soaps are 100% earth friendly and hand-poured in Marin County, California.
We set the bar high for honest products and use only the safest food-grade ingredients from sustainable sources. That means no palm oil or mined micas, and no exploitative or destructive farming practices. We care deeply about what our families wash with and what goes down the drain—ultimately flowing into rivers and the ocean, where we play and surf. Getting our soap right means understanding the whole ecological cycle.
But there’s more. We love to create soap that feels great on your skin, gets you clean, and elevates your bathroom, your kitchen—perhaps even your mood! We approach our soap making like art, using our knowledge of sculpture, permaculture, and aromatherapy to help guide us. The result is a beautiful bar of soap with a natural, clean smell.
We are Salt + Clay.
Meet the team
I live with my family on a small urban homestead in Northern California, not far from the beach. We’re outside every day, surfing or playing in the garden, so my kids (and dog!) are always muddy or sandy. We use a lot of soap! I absolutely love combining my background and skills as a fine artist and permaculture designer into beautiful, all natural soaps for my family, customers and community. When I make soap, it's more than just a cleansing product - I’m making little pieces of functional art to brighten someone's day. Life is short...use the good soap :)
