Cathedral Grove

Cathedral Grove is a grounding, forest-inspired soap designed to bring the spirit of the island’s ancient giants into your daily ritual. This bar transports you deep into the heart of Vancouver Island, where 800-year-old trees touch the sky and the air is thick with the scent of damp earth and mossy canopies. Designed with a natural wood grain to mirror the forest itself, Cathedral Grove is more than a bar of soap—it is an invitation to walk among the Douglas Firs and Western Red Cedars. Let the deep, resinous aroma surround you, grounding your senses as you step into the enchantment of the woods. The scent is a sophisticated, all-natural woody blend. Cedarwood bark and wood oils provide the sturdy, familiar heart of the forest, while Ho Wood and Amyris add a soft, balsamic sweetness that mimics the sun-dappled light filtering through the high branches. Key Ingredients and Their Benefits Grounding Cedarwood & Ho Wood Aromatic Blend: This blend captures the true essence of a coastal rainforest. Cedarwood offers a deep, earthy base known for its calming properties, while Ho Wood provides a gentle floral-woody note that rounds out the scent, leaving a lingering, peaceful aroma on the skin. Natural Colorants (Cocoa, Charcoal, and Clays): To achieve the intricate wood-grain look, I use a combination of cocoa powder, charcoal, white and yellow clay. These natural minerals not only create the beautiful aesthetic of the bar but also provide a gentle, silky slip during use. Traditional Tallow & Botanical Oils: Formulated with a blend of Olive, Coconut, and Castor oils paired with Tallow, this bar produces a dense, stable lather that feels incredibly creamy. It cleanses effectively without stripping the skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and connected to nature. Handcrafted & Unique: Each bar of Cathedral Grove is handmade in small batches. Variations in the wood-grain pattern and color are natural and intentional, reflecting the unique beauty of every tree in the grove. No two bars are exactly the same—just like the forest that inspired them.
