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

Cypress Fir Wash — FAQs

How long will a bottle of washes last?

In our home a 500ml bottle will last several weeks.

Are your body washes sulphate-free and gentle on skin?

Yes! All our washes are formulated without sodium lauryl sulfate or other harsh sulphates. We use mild, plant-based surfactants (alkylpolyglucosides and cocamidopropyl betaine) that cleanse effectively while being kind to skin and the planet. Many include soothing herbal blends and hydrating ingredients like white camellia extract and hyaluronic acid.

What scents do your washes come in and how would you describe them?

We offer a range of uplifting and soothing scents: Rosemary Mint (herbaceous, crisp, cooling, invigorating), Lavender Eucalyptus (soothing, hydrating, calming), Cypress Fir (calming, grounding), Lemongrass Orange (rejuvenating, fresh, citrusy), Rose Ginseng (nourishing, soothing), Mango Lime (fresh, cleansing), and others that are more seasonal like Cranberry Orange or Vanilla Frankincense. Each is crafted primarily with essential oils for an authentic
aromatic experience.

How do I use the liquid washes? Do they work well in hard water?

Apply a small amount to wet hands or body, lather, and rinse. They perform well in most water conditions. The 1L and 4L sizes are perfect for refilling for family showers or sinks—add our dedicated pumps for mess-free dispensing. Travel sizes are ideal for gym bags or carry-on.

Can I use the body wash on my face?

Our washes are primarily formulated for hands and body. While gentle, they may be too cleansing or have essential oil concentrations better suited for body use than on facial skin. For face, we recommend our dedicated Face Care Collection (cleanser, toner, creams, serum).

What sizes are available and which is the best value?

Standard (~500mL), Travel Size, 1 Liter, and 4 Liter refills. The larger sizes offer excellent value for regular users or households and reduce packaging waste and offer greater value per liter. Pair 1L/4L with our matching pumps for easy use. Many customers start with the standard 500ml size to try a new scent.

Do your washes dry out skin?

No—they are designed to be hydrating. Formulas include vegetable glycerine, hemp seed oil, panthenol (vitamin B5), and other moisturizing ingredients that help leave skin clean yet soft and cared-for, not tight or dry.

Are the washes biodegradable and eco-friendly?

Yes, our washes are biodegradable and made with an emphasis on being easy on your hands, body, and the planet. The plant-derived surfactants and natural ingredients support this commitment.

Can I buy pumps separately for the refill sizes?

Absolutely. We offer dedicated pumps for both the 1 Liter and 4 Liter bottles. They make dispensing easy and hygienic in the shower or at the sink.

Definitely purchasing the 1 litre refill next time

Definitely purchasing the 1 litre refill next time. Amazing forest scent. The scent from the bottle is stronger than when I shower with it. For me that works. You get a hint of showering in the forest but it doesn't overpower you. Absolute favourite, though I admit I do say that about a lof the products I purchase from this company. Still the truth every time.

True fragrance

Wonderful scent

Amazing!

A refreshing, nature-forward wash with authentic fir aroma and gentle cleansing — great for people who like woodsy scents and natural formulations.

All time favourite wash!!

I’ve been using this wash for years and it is my all time fave! I feel so grounded, fresh and clean, and it’s so gentle on my skin. Never stop making this wash!!

great scent/product

This was a Christmas gift for my husband and it did not disappoint.
He was quite pleased with the product and the scent.
So happy to be able to support your business. Thank you!

Soft

Since using this body wash, my skin feel so soft and very hydrated. I love the scent in the shower. I will now never buy any other body wash.

A bathroom staple

This handwash is a staple in all our bathrooms. Guests say it smells just like trees! I love that it doesn’t dry out my skin, smells great, and supports Canadian businesses! I order the refill for topping up the bathroom soap.

Smells so good and lathers up so nicely!

So lovely!!

I got this because I was on Saltspring Island this year and came across this soap and couldn’t forget it. I absolutely love the smell. It’s just sadly too expensive for me with tax and shipping so I can’t justify purchasing it again unfortunately. Otherwise I would never go back to another soap.

Love

I feel so fresh after using cypress! One of my favourite scents! Their soap ingredients are the only thing that works on my stress sweat and also doesn’t give me dry and scaly skin or eczema if I shower frequently. Their liquid soaps are a staple in my shower

Smells amazing

Nice one

Love these natural scents

I love your natural washes! The scent is lovely and not overpowering. I have mild anaphylatic reactions to all chemical scents and these washes with the essential oils are fantastic. I also really like how the soap itself performs and feels. Nice light lather, creamy and not drying. Also my teenagers love these which is a giant bonus. Thank you.

New favorite!

I didn't think I could love a scent as much as Rosemary Mint but this might be my new favorite. Like alltheir products, it has a fresh, natural, and strong but not overpowering scent. If you love Rosemary Mint, give this one a try.

Thank you for your kind review Cordelle. We are glad you love this new wash as much us we do! :)

Christmas in a bottle

I just love the refreshscent of this Cypress Fir wash. We have it at our kitchen sink for hand washing and we love the fresh tree smell. It's like having a Christmas tree with it all of the mess of the needles!

Refreshing scent

What a wonderful refreshing scent, every time I wash with it, it's like going for a walk in the woods. My family also rave about it, when they drop by. Well Done!!

A beautiful soap

Cypress Fir Wash is remarkable, uniquely fragrant and of high quality! A wonderful treat to transform an essential, everyday activity.

Forest Bathe

Love, Love, Love this scent!!! Reminds us of a beautiful walk in the forest.
