The Story of By the Sea Soap Co

What started as a personal quest to soothe my own itchy, sensitive skin quickly blossomed into a family-wide lifestyle change. I wanted pure, natural alternatives for my family and our pets—free from the harsh synthetics found on most commercial shelves. After sharing my homemade creations with family and friends, their encouragement inspired me to turn my passion into a small business. It is my ultimate goal to eventually make every product we use on our skin and our pets and to not have to use store bought. 

Inspired by the Beautiful and Unique Coastal Towns of North County San Diego

My love of living in North County and my deep love of nature is the inspiration behind my products. Every product is themed around a local beach town or hidden treasure along our coastline. From the refreshing energy of an Encinitas Surf Break and the vibrant notes of the Carlsbad Flower Fields, to the cozy warmth of an Oceanside Beach Bonfire and the mineral-rich La Jolla Kelp Tides, our collection captures the essence of Southern California living.

Pure and Sustainable Ingredients

Everything is handcrafted in small batches right from my home in Leucadia, California. At By the Sea Soap Co., we hold our ingredients to the highest standards so you never have to worry about what goes on your skin:

  • 100% Palm-Oil Free: Deeply committed to sustainable, responsibly produced ingredients.
  • Pure Essential Oils: Scented only by nature, with absolutely zero synthetic fragrances.
  • Natural Colorants: Earthy hues crafted purely from natural clays and charcoal—never micas.
  • Homegrown & Foraged: We grow and forage many of our own botanicals to keep our products as local as possible.

Our Promise

While our coastal names are playful, what is inside is deeply intentional. We focus entirely on pure, skin-loving ingredients that provide gentle, natural relief for you and your pets. Our ultimate goal at By the Sea Soap Co. is to handcraft every personal and pet care product we use, creating a safer, non-toxic world for my family, your family, and our beautiful planet.
