Skipping Stone Soap

Stop. Skip a few stones.
Sometimes, it’s the simple things.

After we mix, pour, cut, bevel and stamp each bar, the waiting begins.

Every bar rests on these racks for at least 6 weeks, some for 8+, until it’s fully cured. Only then does it get packaged.

The result is a drier, harder bar that’s ready to use the moment you open your package. It lasts longer in the shower and gives a mild, gentle lather. The scent also becomes well-rounded. Like a good cheese or w**e, soap gets better with time. We hope you can feel the difference.

And just like that, autumn is here. 🍁

The maple leaves are putting on a show lately, and our soap shelves are filling with some of our favourite seasonal bars: Pure Kabocha, Autumn Park, Pure Oatmeal & Honey, and Bellwoods.

One thing that hasn’t changed over the years is that we’re always looking for ways to make our products better.

We rarely make the same recipe forever. As I learn more about ingredients and soapmaking, I often revisit existing formulas and make small adjustments when I believe they will improve the experience. Every new batch is an opportunity to apply what I’ve learned along the way.

Some of our soap and shampoo bars have been with us for many years, but they haven’t stood still. The bars may carry the same names and look much the same on the outside, but the ones I make today are quite different from the ones I made a decade ago. In terms of texture, longevity, lather, and even how the scent comes through, years of experience have shaped and refined each formula.

Earlier this year, we introduced an updated Meadow shampoo bar with cationic guar gum to improve slip and manageability. After seeing encouraging results, we began testing the same addition in our Pure Unscented Organic shampoo bars and Arctic Rain shampoo bars.

So far, we’re very happy with the results. The updated Pure shampoo bar is available now, and Arctic Rain will follow once our current inventory has sold through.

Most of these changes are subtle. You may not notice them at first glance, but they’re part of our ongoing effort to create soap and shampoo bars that are a little better with every batch.

I hope you’ll enjoy these small improvements. They’re the result of years of testing, learning, and a belief that even a familiar product can always be made a little better.

Toronto has long felt like my second home. Each neighbourhood holds its own memories, character, and charm, which inspired the colours, design, and scent of our Toronto Neighbourhood Collection.

From bustling streets to quiet corners, every bar tells a different story through scent.

There are still many Toronto neighbourhoods I’d love to explore through soap, but creating a new scent takes time. For now, I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life. ❤️

These ones are staying on the shelf a little longer… just to look at them.

Cool pine, warm wood — the smell of sitting by the fire, tall evergreens all around, on a cool summer evening. Inspired by one of Canada’s favourite feelings.

We kept it simple, so it could sit next to a leaf and flowers and feel right at home.
