A soap that naturally changes with time.
Handcrafted with wildcrafted cottonwood — also known as balsam poplar — buds harvested in Alberta and slowly infused into oils. The resin-rich bar naturally develops deeper golden and amber tones over time.
Watch the colour deepen.
One of the most distinctive characteristics of this cottonwood resin soap is what happens after the bar is made. The natural resin-rich infusion gradually oxidizes, allowing the colour of the soap to deepen over time.
The changing golden, honey and amber tones come from the cottonwood infusion and its natural resins.
Two weeks in the making.
Wildcrafted cottonwood buds are slowly infused for two weeks in cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil and organic coconut oil before becoming part of this small-batch soap.
Cottonwood buds are naturally rich in aromatic resin, giving the finished bar its distinctive forest character, balsam-like aroma and natural colour.
Real plants. Real resin. Slow process.
Cottonwood has a long history of traditional use.
Cottonwood and balsam poplar buds have long been valued for their fragrant, sticky resins and have a history of use in traditional northern plant preparations.
Our version begins with buds gathered by hand in Alberta and transforms them through a slow infusion and small-batch soapmaking process.
Made when the cottonwood gives us the buds.
This is a seasonal wildcrafted soap made in small quantities from hand-harvested cottonwood buds. Each batch reflects the natural character of the plants and resins we gathered.
