Shore Soap Co.

Shore Soap Co. is a family-owned bath and body brand established in 2013 by husband-and-wife duo Jake and Steph Kopper in Newport, Rhode Island. Drawing inspiration from the sea, they create handcrafted soaps, lotions, scrubs, and body butters using natural ingredients and classic techniques. What began as kitchen experiments in making natural soaps evolved into a thriving small business committed to both quality personal care and environmental stewardship.

The company's ocean-focused mission extends beyond their product line to their packaging philosophy. They've dramatically reduced plastic usage to only essential items and closures, preferring highly recyclable glass and biodegradable cardboard wherever possible. Shore Soap Co. is transparent about their ingredients—everything is listed on the label—and their products are free from phthalates, sulfates, parabens, and palm oils.
