Skincare for sailors

We love being on a boat, playing in the sun and wind, but out on the water your skin can get too much of a good thing.

Our seaweed-infused balms soothe, moisturize, and protect dehydrated, weather-sensitized skin with no worries about what you’re absorbing or what’s running down the drain.

How Salt Habit was born

"It was during the sea trial for our Bayfield 32C. The broker told me to get petroleum jelly and put it on my face while I was sailing to protect my skin. I freaked."

(Did you know? On the original patent application filed in 1872, it states, "The substance from which Vaseline is made is the residium of petroleum left in the still after the greater part of the petroleum has been distilled off." Eew. Seriously. You don’t want that on your face.)
