Cowichan Valley Soaps
Member | COWICHAN VALLEY SOAPS
Cowichan Valley, BC
Our soaps are for those trying to eliminate harsh chemicals from their body care routine. We believe nature provides powerful, healing ingredients to have many benefits for our bodies. These soaps are unique nature-inspired and nature-infused plant based soaps from annual foraging excursions in the Cowichan Valley. These plants are uncultivated, and the hand harvesting is done sustainably. Each bar is infused with wild, skin beneficial plants and colored naturally with botanicals and earth clays. Each soap is curated for an area of the Cowichan Valley in a thoughtful, respectful manner that compliments the beauty it represents.
bio
Cowichan Valley Soaps was created in 2018 with an idea between two friends and a couple of microbrews. The concept was to create soap made from plants from each area of the Cowichan Valley that are foraged locally and native to Vancouver Island. We also wanted to name soaps after each area in the valley and only use fair trade organic sustainable products.
Erin, having made soap and body products in the past, already had a much seeded interest in apothecary and herbal medicine. She also has a degree in both Chemistry and Nursing, currently working in Emergency medicine. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking and foraging with her dog Benji, river swimming, baking sourdough and studying flamenco dance.
