Skincare for Sailors

Vegan + All-Natural

Water, wind, and sun. We love them, but on a boat you can have too much of a good thing. Dehydrated, irritated, chapped skin is a common side effect of a day spent out on the water.

Care for your skin as well as the environment with our herbalist-formulated vegan balms, serums, creams, and butter bars.

Designed to keep even the saltiest of sailors from looking crusty.

Handmade in Oriental, North Carolina
