Why Seaweed A member of the algae family, seaweed (not actually a weed, but a type of sea-vegetable) is classified into three groups: red, green, and brown. The most commonly consumed varieties are nori, hijiki, kombu, wakame, and dulse, though there are hundreds more growing in our oceans. Fortunately for us, the cold, clean waters off Vancouver Island are an ideal habitat for producing some of the world’s best seaweed. According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the coas...t of British Columbia is home to an estimated 530-macroalgae species, approximately 650,000 tonnes of wild kelp. This versatile and sustainable superfood is one of the most nutritionally dense foods available. Loaded with minerals, vitamins, and iron, its uses go way beyond sushi. Seaweed’s many benefits in soap making: Seaweed soap cleans the body as traditional soaps do, plus it exfoliates the skin. Gritty bits of seaweed within the soap remove dead cells on the skin.

Regular soap is great. In my house we use plain soap. So why don’t you need to go into the internet trenches shopping for antibacterial soap?

Happy New Year to all my friends and customers!! The year 2020 started in September 2018 and cost me my wholesale business more or less. We had health problems, first my husband then me. It almost killed all my soaping business. Thankfully, we have faithful friends and they kept wanting soaps and kept me re stocking. I now am starting to actively seek new wholesale accounts. I went to a local store here, my son referred me to them. They have soaps all ready so no need for mine. What is troubling to me is this. Their soaps are made in the USA. What, we don't have enough soapers around here? And how cheap are they that they can be retailed for $5.00 a piece? So I am a bit disappointed but happy that I did not even try. Yes I want to restart. No, I don't want to cheapen my product to get accounts. Happy New Year!! S
