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.

The best clay mask I have ever used

The best clay mask I have ever used. Anytime my skin feels too oily or dirty I use this and my skin feels refreshed, softer and overall cleaner. I even got my partner hooked on it!

Perfect!

I'm a huge fan of masks in general as it is a nice part of a self care routine. This is the first time I have tried a kaolin mask and I do feel good after each use!

Holy grail mask❤️

Bought this mask for the first time in BC while on a trip. I IMMEDIATELY loved it, and continue to love it whenever I use it. I leave it on longer than the instructions say so it really gives my skin a nice detox. Doesn’t make my sensitive skin have a fit! My skin stays soft and clear for days after I’ve used this (along with my skincare routine). I’m so glad they ship to the rest of Canada so I can buy it whenever I notice I’m getting low, that way I never have to be without it. I’ve tried so many masks hoping they would achieve what this one does. Seriously, this is the best mask ever.

Best mask ever!

I have been using this mask twice a week for the past month and it hasn’t even made a dent in the container. A little really does go a long way. My skin is so clear, soft and the texture and colour has also improved. This mask does wonders.

Best mask ever!

I’ve been using this face mask forever. It’s by far the best one I’ve ever tried! It cleans/minimizes my pores beautifully and is refreshing and leaves my skin feeling so soft.

BEST MASK EVER!

BEST-MASK-EVER!!!!!!

I am a women in my 40's who has 2 teenage daughters...and a husband who pretends he does not care about his skin ;) We ALL use this mask and it is amazing for radiance, acne, brightening and it just feels so good. We LOVE that is local and good for your skin too. I panic if I do not have one on the go and one in my cupboard.

Thanks for the beautiful product!

useing clay masks

I just have a comment about the girl who used the mask and had a reaction. I have been mining and researching clay for 10 years and have some advice for using it as a mask.
When using a clay mask, ask for a analysis for the 5 heavy metals, most glacial marine clay's has above levels of arsenic. A way to reduce this is to mix the clay with something to reduce levels to less then 3 ppm, peat works or mix it with a different clay. I mix marine clay with 6 ppm with a mountain clay with 1.2 ppm to get it to 3 ppm.
Never let a mask completely dry, when the mask is first applied it puts minerals in the skin, as it starts to dry it sucks out the toxins, once it is tacky wash it off. Letting it dry completely will just suck the life out of the skin.
Clay is a wonderful product so enjoy .

Thanks for your insight Paul!

I love it but....

i bought this product maybe back in november & i love it but i can’t seem to find an expiration date. the last two times i used the mask it left my face a bit irritated & it never did before. How long are your masks good for?

Hi Hayley
Thanks for contacting us regarding our Mud Mask. Shelf life for this product is 2 years if unopened and aprox. one year after opening.
I myself have very sensitive skin on my face and grabbed a jar of our latest batch to try. I did not have any problems which makes me think that it's not the product (We havn't changed the recipe)
Sometimes skin can be more sensitive and reactive this time of year especially as it gets colder and drier. Just wondering:
Have you changed your detergent that you wash your towels in, added a fabric softener to your wash, changed your facial regime at all?
Hope this helps to solve the mystery.

Sincerely,
Amber

LOVE this product!

I have super sensitive skin and have always avoided masks because I felt they were a waste of money. I have since converted after using this mask! Not only is it super affordable (one jar last lasted me over 2 months using it twice weekly), but it really works and is great even on sensitive skin. After it dries I can actually see the excess oil it has drawn out of my face. I have recommended this product to many people I know! Keep up the good work!

Ouch!

Was really looking forward to trying out this mask I got for Christmas! After using it as per the directions on the container, my face was visibly red where the mask had been. It is now day 2 of a chapped, dry face. I’m in pain and am very sad this happened.

Hi Michelle

Thanks for reaching out regarding our mud mask. First of all we are sorry that you had a negative experience with our product.
From your description It seems that you had a reaction to an ingredient, and this can happen from time to time.

Great for sensitive skin

My skin is sensitive...super sensitive. Once I used a popular drugstore cleanser and ended up with blisters on my face...I am always leery of "deep cleaning " my pored. This product is so gentle and I really notice a difference when I use the mask once a week. There is no tightness or redness after and my skin feels so soft and smooth. I just bought my second jar of it and this time I brought home a patchouli bar soap as well.
