Oregon Coast Soap’s Salty Sea Lion bar is crafted with sea salt to honor the waters these animals call home. It’s enriched with kelp powder, a sustainable and skin-loving tribute to the marine environment. The scent blends lavender and peppermint which is inspired by the feeling of watching these animals glide through the cold coastal waters, free and untamed, not just lounging on the docks (though I do love a quick hello and photo op too).

This is the story of the importance of the Scandinavian influence on the Oregon Coast.
