Our Story

From humble beginnings

Our story begins long before Saltspring Soapworks did: Four generations ago with a grandmother and a farm. Using beef tallow and ash, she handcrafted soap—a legacy that was handed down to her granddaughter and our founder, Linda Quiring. The simplicity of our beginnings remains the essence of our remedies today.

Our Story

Comfrey Cocoa Butter Lotion — FAQs

With daily use, our 115g lotion tube typically lasts 1–2 months depending on how liberally you apply. The shelf life is excellent when stored properly.

Our body lotions are formulated for hands and body. For facial care, please use our dedicated Face Care Collection products, which are lighter and tailored for facial skin needs.

Our lotions offer a light to medium texture that absorbs readily, leaving skin soft and protected without residue. Perfect under clothing or for use throughout the day.

Our lotions have pleasant, natural essential oil scents that are noticeable but not overpowering. Many people enjoy them as a light fragrance layer. If you prefer unscented or have sensitivities, our simpler options or patch testing is recommended.

Daily use, ideally after showering or bathing and whenever skin feels dry. A little goes a long way—start with a small amount and massage it in. Consistent use helps maintain soft, supple skin.

Yes. Our formulas with Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter (Lavender Shea Butter, Comfrey Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter Rose) are especially nourishing for dry skin, elbows, hands, and feet. Apply after washing or bathing while skin is still slightly damp for best absorption and to lock in moisture.

We design complementary lines: Rosemary Mint Lotion pairs perfectly with the Rosemary Mint Wash or Soap Bar for an invigorating full-body routine. Lavender Shea Butter Lotion complements Lavender washes etc. for calming. Rhubarb Citrus Lotion offers a refreshing match for citrusy or fruity scents. Feel free to mix and match based on your mood or skin needs.

Our lotions feature moisturizing butters (shea, cocoa), oils (sweet almond, etc.), and humectants. They are designed to absorb quickly and provide lasting hydration without a heavy or greasy feel. Many customers describe them as luxurious yet lightweight.

Lotion for Everyone!🤩

This is my husband’s go to lotion! The scent is very neutral and relaxing. It is non greasy, having a quick drying effect with a lot of moisture. I found it worked great as an aftershave on my legs as well. Very versatile product for everyone in the house!

Best Hand Lotion Hands Down

This is the 1st time I have purchased and used this lotion, I absolutely love it!!! I have been using other products of Salt Spring Soap Works so not surprised how great this lotion is, it isn't greasy or to strong of a scent plus the big bonus is it doesn't aggravate my eczema.

Outstanding Lotion

When I walked into the Duncan store and asked what was your best seller she recommended the Comfrey Cocoa Butter lotion and now I understand why!! I work in health care plus live in Alberta so I have very dry hands and skin. This lotion is so healing and soaks in so quickly that's it's never greasy. The scent is beautiful and the ingredients stellar as they deliver!

Best lotion EVER!!

I fell in love with this lotion the instant I first used it! I have incredibly dry hands and it soothes and heals them so quickly. It’s not greasy and feels really nice on the skin. Sometimes I use it on my face if it’s really dry, or my feet or other parts of my skin that need serious help. It smells so amazing I literally sniff my hands for about five minutes after putting it on - it’s so invigorating!

So so good!

This is by far the best body lotion I have used. I absolutely love it, but wish it came in a larger format as I use it every day as body lotion, my skin is very dry. This lotion is very moisturizing, non greasy and very soothing.

Love this product

As many of us are experiencing now, my hands are in bad shape from frequent hand washing. From the minute I first used this lotion I felt relief and noticed the difference from other lotions I have use. I will definitely be reordering!

Calming recermarkable no grease feeling

I can't live without this cream!
I was disappointed when the gardener's hand cream was discontinued suprizenly this product is even more soothing for hard working hands and after sun lotion.
