Dulse & Rugosa

Shampoo bars made with wild-harvested botanicals

$15.00

These all natural, plastic-free shampoo bars are a such a treat. Hailing from Gott's Island, a tiny island on the Maine coastline, this woman-owned company grows and wild-harvests their botanicals and seaweeds. The bars are handmade with castor oil, soothing seaweed, and botanically infused essential oils. They had us at "wild harvested plant materials."

These shampoo bars last twice as long as a typical bottle of shampoo. We stock the curly hair, straight hair, and men's varieties. Each one conditions hair without leaving it greasy. Powdered kelp stimulates the scalp, keeping your hair smooth and shiny, and helping to relieve itchiness.

Check out our soap tins to store your shampoo bars while traveling.

Use and care

Use it just as you would a bar of soap, massaging into your scalp. It will create a sudsy lather, and each one is packed full of plant based goodness to leave your hair silky and shiny.

The curly hair is much more moisturizing, while the straight hair variety is more cleansing.

Size

Each bar is approximately 3 oz.

Ingredients

Rosehip and Sugar Kelp Tea, Saponified Oils of: Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Rosehip infused Castor Oil, Calendula infused Sweet Almond Oil, Rosehip infused Olive Oil, Rosehip Oil, Powdered Kelp, and Essential Oils of Lavender, Rosemary, Bergamot, and Peppermint.

Vegan, palm oil free, sulfate free.

Packaging

Wrapped in tissue paper made from 100% recycled paper. The packaging is compostable.

Origin

Gotts Island, Maine, United States.

Dulse & Rugosa is a mother and daughter business in Gotts Island, Maine. Their ingredients start on their small farm or growing along the rocky shores of the island. They handpick each flower, leaf, and piece of seaweed and then solar dry them. Using the dried seaweeds and botanicals, they then handcraft each of the soaps, lotions, scrubs, and oils with love and care.

Shampoo bars made with wild-harvested botanicals

I recently purchased the shampoo bar and have used it 4 times. Unfortunately it makes my hair feel really greasy and dull so I don’t like it:( maybe my husband will like it, thanks anyway 😊

Would recommend!

Recently re-purchased the Lovely Rita shampoo bar for curly hair. I am Black and wear my hair naturally curly, and have found that this shampoo bar works great for me. If you're like me and don't wash your hair every time you shower -- or, if you have roommates who also use the shower but don't share shampoo -- I would suggest that you don't store the bar in the shower, even on a wire rack. Even just a little water getting on it during each shower will dissolve it faster. With my second bar, I've been storing it like this (https://bit.ly/2Rt9oOg), and I can already tell that it will last much longer this time.

Lovely shampoo

This bar cleans well, doesn't dry my hair and smells fabulous. But smell doesn't linger and isn't overwhelming. Love it. My hair is dead straight and I live in the desert SW. This shampoo bar works great for me. Plus, it's not encased in plastic and the little box it's shipped in is recyclable.

Give shampoo bars another try - these are amazing!!

I tried shampoo and conditioner bars from Lush several years ago and hated them. They made my hair feel like straw and I was mortified when I realized how much artificial dye was in it! I avoided shampoo bars after that, but finally decided to give them another shot when I got tired of buying shampoo in plastic bottles that are full of sulfates, artificial coloring and fragrances, and who knows what else.

These shampoo bars are amazing!! I’ve been using the Lovely Rita Super Condition bar and my hair is so soft, moisturized, and shiny. My scalp used to be super dry, but since using this product, my scalp couldn’t be happier! Good for the earth, good for my body. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to conventional shampoos again.

Flourish Botanicals

Locally made hand & body soaps

$10.00

We're kind of freaking out about these soaps. Call us obsessive, but we've been searching high and low for the perfect vegan, sulfate-free, palm oil free, locally made natural hand and body soaps for what seems like years. Oh wait, it has been years! Trust us -- it's harder than it sounds (try reading the ingredients labels of all the soaps at your local grocery store - yikes).

Well, the wait is finally over! These soaps are absolutely luxurious, and they're handmade by Liz, a woman on our wavelength, not too far from here, in Spokane, WA. All of the colors come from natural pigments in clays, herbal infusions, spices, and other botanicals. The result is cleansing care that is safe for your body, safe for the water, safe for the earth.

Each bar of soap is a unique work of art - no two are exactly the same, which means they will vary slightly from the photos.

Types

Pink Clay + grapefruit - Burst of citrusy grapefruit on the skin and cleansing pink clay suds. Luxurious and pink.

Blue clay + patchouli - Blue clay cleanses the skin while sea salt gently exfoliates. Earthy scents of patchouli and sandalwood delight the senses.

Cedar + pine - Essential oils of cedar and black pine bring the scent of a day in winter woods, and an infusion of nettle leaf gives it the fresh, wintergreen color.

Lavender + geranium - Alkanet root gives this bar a natural purple pigment and the scents of lavender and geranium release a soft floral scent.

Cinnamon + clove - Made with a warm blend of cassia (cinnamon), clove, and orange essential oils. Naturally pigmented with pumpkin and turmeric.

Earl grey tea - Made with a premium whole leaf and bergamot essential oil, this lather will envelop you in the soothing scents of a delicious cup of earl grey tea.

Charcoal + pine - The refreshing scents of mint and black pine with the cleansing properties of activated charcoal.

Shea butter unscented - Moisturizing and creamy soap suds. Safe ingredients make it the perfect bar for kids, babies, and anyone with sensitive skin, especially since it is does not contain any essential oils. Perfect for bathtime.

Herbal fusion - A blend of herbs and spices - frankincense, cypress, cinnamon leaf, sage, and pine. Naturally pigmented with an infusion of alkanet root and turmeric powder, reminiscent of the bonfires lit on this dark night.

Sweet orange + ginger -Bright, warm scents of orange and ginger with gently exfoliating poppy seeds. Sunshiny bubbles for happy, glowing skin. An exfoliant that is safe for the skin, the water, and the earth.

Aloe + lime + loofah - Freshly harvested aloe from organic leaves, combined with lime essential oil, create our juiciest soap yet. Shredded loofah gourd provides a natural exfoliant while aloe soothes the skin.

Lemon + poppy seed - Poppy seeds naturally exfoliate the skin while bursts of lemon delight the senses. An exfoliant that is safe for the skin, the water, and the earth. Though you may be tempted, do not eat this soap!

Rose + ylang ylang - Rose geranium and pure ylang ylang create an intoxicating love spell, while pink clay and hibiscus powder create a smooth, silky lather for the skin. Topped with organic rosebuds.

Rosemary + lemongrass - You love the delightful scent of our rosemary + lemongrass shampoo. Now it is available in a body soap! These aromas, combined with the clarifying properties of purple brazilian clay, create a skin-loving lather. Garnished with a floral confetti of blue bachelor buttons and pink rose petals.

Summer solstice - Celebrate the herbs and wildflowers of summer with a soap infused with calendula petals and red saffron petals. Essential oils of marjoram, penny royal, clary sage, and white thyme create an earthy, cleansing, herbal scent.

To help use soap ends, you can place bits and pieces of soaps into a small mesh cloth bag to use in the bath or shower!

Perfect soap

I bought the eucalyptus & shea butter soap and it smells amazing! It's effective but not drying as a body soap. The corners/edges do make it a little difficult to apply to your body at first but I'm sure they will round off after a little more use. I can't wait to buy more!

It's beautiful and it works.

The sweet orange + ginger is particularly great.

All around good

I love these soaps! They smell amazing! They suds up so well so a little goes a long way and they last longer than liquid soap so they are good for my wallet! I especially love the natural ingredients that are good for my skin and the environment.

Good soap!

Overall feels and smells nice, doesn’t diminish in size too quickly(so far) the only thing I wish was different is the shape since I like to rub the soap on my body and the square hard edges are a little rough.

Great soap and nice scent!

Bestowed Essentials

Plastic-free loofah dish and bath sponge

$5.00

This plastic-free sponge is made straight from the loofah plant! It starts off as a gourd that is then dried and turned into a soft sponge, so each one is unique.

It's perfect for washing dishes. You can even cut it into five smaller sponges if you fancy - each loofah or loofah piece lasts about six months!

Not only is it biodegradable, it's 100% plant fiber. We've been looking for an alternative to plastic sponges, and loofahs have great scrubbing power for tough spots on dishes and general cleaning around the home.

It can also be used as a shower loofah. It will gently exfoliate your skin and cleanse your pores so your skin is left feeling soft and refreshed.

Unpackaged, compostable, multipurpose and plastic free. Color us excited!

Use and care

Use as a sponge, for dishes or home cleaning. If you'd like, you can cut it into several smaller sponge slices with a bread knife.

Let dry thoroughly after each use. You can also sanitize it from time to time by microwaving for 15 seconds.

Safe for nonstick pots and pans.

Our loofahs can also be used for bath and body, to create a lather with soap, exfoliate skin and stimulate circulation.

With daily use, each loofah will last around 6 months.

Size

Each loofah is about 4" long and 2-3" round.

Materials

Loofahs are 100% plant fiber, meaning they are vegan, cruelty free and plastic free. They are made from the dried loofah plant. Our loofahs are unprocessed and unbleached.

Packaging

Unpackaged.

Origin

Our loofahs are from a US company owned by a female US Navy veteran. They are based in South Dakota and are the producers of the Hippie Haven podcast all about sustainability! Their products are small batch, ethically made, and non-toxic.

End of life

You can compost these in your backyard or bury them in your garden, and they will break down within 30 days. They can be commercially composted where available as well.

Plastic-free loofah dish and bath sponge

It's a loofah

This was my first attempt at a plastic free dish washing tool. It took a few tries to kind of soften the loofah a bit and figure out how to use it, but overall I'm satisfied with how it cleans my dishes. It's definitely different from a kitchen sponge - it won't be super useful for wiping off surfaces but it does have more scrubbing power in my opinion. And it still holds onto soap. I'll probably buy one of the wood handle dish scrubbers when my loofah starts falling apart, but I'll happily compost it when that day comes :)

Loofah

Good quality loofah & feels great to exfoliate my body with

I use mine as a shower loofah and it exfoliates wonderfully! Highly recommend.

Loving this addition to kitchen

This works great for cleaning dishes. I didn't like it as much for the shower but I will definitely be buying again for the kitchen.

Never Going Back

Let me count the ways that I love this sponge. I bought two, one for the shower and the other for dishes. It lathers up so well and is the perfect size. I prefer it more for the shower than dishes but it gets the job done.

For the shower, it’s a soft exfoliant and the holes in the middle are perfect for putting soap that is reaching its end.

For dishes, it’s really good but if you’re like me and tend to not rinse their dishes from time to time, then it tends to break down quicker. To extend its life, I use the wooden dish brush for stuck on food and finish with the sponge. Regardless, it gets my dishes way cleaner than my silicone sponge.

Shaving soap bar

$10.00

Dulse & Rugosa’s Shaving Bar is perfect for a smooth, close shave. It creates a wonderfully thick lather and is packed full of moisturizing oils to leave your skin ultra-smooth. The soap base is two types of seaweed (oarweed, and kelp) which are nourishing and all natural.

JUST PUT IT IN THE CART ALREADY

I'm so glad I bought this after reading the reviews. My hair is shoulder length, curly and quite thin. This is PERFECT for it! I finally have hydrated, voluminous locks that lasts for days. All those barely used bottles of shampoo and conditioner I no longer need will be repurposed as shaving cream until the end of time because I've finally found my holy grail hair care products. Thank you Eco Collective!!!! Also, I'm so elated to see it's local :)

Really? Really? Really.

Okay, so here's the deal... I have been on the lookout for a new conditioner bar. My hair is fine, straight, shoulder-length, but THICK. All of the bars I have tried...static. Static! So I did some research and found this one. I am soooo glad I did. Oh my gosh. Wonderful. Awesome. Such great moisture, no static, and great body. Did I mention, I live in New Mexico? Yeah, so there's that.
I am so pleased. Thank you.

Very moisturizing

I have tried many conditioner bars and this is the first time that actually gives my thick, wavy hair enough moisture. It's great!

The best bar conditioner (locally made too!)

I use this exclusively as my conditioner. I have very long tangly hair and this stuff does a great job keeping my hair hydrated and shiny. Lasts a really long time. I like that this bar doesn’t start crumbling and dissolving like other bars I’ve used. Smells good. Well-made product!

Silky soft hair with geranium scent

I'm really pleased with how well this bar conditions. My hair feels great--much nicer than with my previous, mass-produced conditioner, though I'd been happy with that before.

The one thing I'd note is that I disagree with the description of having a "subtle scent of cocoa butter." All I smell is the geranium essential oil, to a moderately strong degree (based on an earlier review I wonder if the product has changed, or maybe scents are really that subjective!). If you're looking for an unscented or low-scent product, this probably isn't it. But for a scented conditioner this really works wonderfully.

Just-add-water hair styling gel

$15.00

Our customers have been asking us for a low waste hair gel, and we're so excited to introduce this option! It's a just-add-water formulation, which means no shipping heavy liquid, and no bulky plastic containers to speak of - just a simple compostable packet! And best of all, it's made locally right here in Seattle.

To use this innovative hair styling gel, simply add half a teaspoon of the powder per ounce of hot water to make your desired amount of product. It has a medium hold, and works wonders for encouraging your natural hair texture. We highly recommend it for curly hair - it smooths out frizz, locks in moisture, and encourages springy curls.

It's a natural product that's best used fresh. While it lasts 3 months once mixed, we recommend mixing what you'll use within a month.

Use and care

Mix 1/2 a teaspoon per fluid ounce of hot water to create your styling gel. Mix thoroughly until smooth - like pancake batter. It will thicken more into a gel consistency as it cools.

This is a natural product that's best used fresh. While it lasts 3 months once mixed, we recommend mixing what you'll use within a month.

Use as you would a normal styling gel. Works well after a leave-in moisturizer. With wet hair, add between a dime size to a quarter size amount of hair gel to your palm (depending on desired hold and how much hair you have), and use your hands to evenly spread the product throughout your hair. To encourage curls, scrunch your hair in an upward motion. Let your hair air dry or use a diffused hair dryer.

Sizes

Travel/sample size: 2 oz yield packet - The perfect amount to try it out before committing! Includes 1 tsp of powder.

8 fl. oz yield packet - Enough to last you a while! We recommend mixing what you'll use in a month - it includes 4 tsp of powder and makes four 2 fl. oz. batches.

Ingredients

Horsetail extract, dehydroxanthan gum (non-gmo xanthan gum), organic cocoa butter, panthenol, and organic aloe vera extract.

Cruelty free, vegan, palm oil free, paraben free, and alcohol free. "Curly girl method" approved.

Works great!

Used it with my favorite leave-in conditioner on my 2c-3b hair and it left a nice cast with way less product than I normally use. I made a thicker gel by very gradually adding in water and then sprayed more water into my hair to help distribute. Definitely recommend trying to break up the solids before adding water since my mixture ended up a little chunky, but still worked well.

Overall really great product that I can see myself permanently replacing my old gels with once I've used them up!

My favorite curly hair gel!!

I am SO happy I decided to purchase this product a few months ago! I am always looking for ways to simplify my curly hair care routine and as I am a frequent traveller who had plans to go abroad for 3 months, I needed something that worked and that I could bring a bulk amount of with me in my backpacker's pack. And this product is everything I could want and more! I have 2B/2C hair and this product paired with the Eco-Collective organic cocoa butter conditioner bar are a DREAM together! My hair has never looked better - no crunch, just non-frizzy curls that hold! I have a tiny jar with the solid gel powder and another with a small amount of the gel I've made while abroad as well as 2 tins with my shampoo and conditioner bars and BOOM - The ultimate zero-waste minimal travelers hair care routine. I will praise this product forever! Thank you Eco-Collective and Salon Solids!!

Awesome gel

I was skeptical at first but this gel makes my 2b/2c hair look awesome without weighing it down. It even refreshed well on day 2/3 with a little water.

Works good!

I have 3b curly hair and it works just like cantu’s Curling cream. I just use less water than suggested to make the gel thicker.

Cool but...

I was really excited for this product and I think it works well but there are a couple of things that could be added.
My first thought was the powder was really hard to measure because it had been mashed so much it came out like a sheet of paper and I cut it then tried to break it up into a powder. THe boiling process was easy, but I think that I didn't make it strong enough (too watery) because it didn't hold very long.
Love the idea but I need more instruction maybe? I felt a little dumb in my kitchen like hohoho let me make my hair mask.
Also does it go in the fridge? I have been keeping it there haha

Hi Nicole! Thank you so much for your feedback - we're sorry to hear you didn't have the best experience with the styling gel! We will work on communicating the instructions more clearly. Typically it's a 1/2 tsp powder to 1 fl. oz. of boiling water water ratio, and adjusting the water amount can alter the strength of the hold as you mentioned, so adding less water in the future might help in your case! We will also pass the packaging feedback (about the product getting squished in the packet) along to the vendor. Regarding storing the gel once it's mixed - keeping it in the fridge isn't required but it will help it stay fresh even longer! In room temperature it will last 3 months once mixed, but the fresher the better! Sincerely, Summer

They are palm oil free, paraben- and sulfate-free, and scented with essential oils. Most of the ingredients are organic as well! The only animal product in them is the raw honey, which is from a small, organic local beekeeper in Everett.

Sunny grove is scented with lemon, lemongrass and tea tree essential oils and is reminiscent of a bright sunny day. Refresh is more herbal and refreshing, scented with basil, peppermint and rosemary essential oils.

Fresh Face - refreshing facial bar soap for combination and acne prone skin

Great product!

This has been great for my husband's skin. He's had problem combination skin his whole life, and this has definitely reduced his breakouts and made his skin tone more even. Love that it is zero waste! We bought the soap stone to go with the soap bar, but the liquid soap dripped off the stone too easily and stained our white bath tub. Our solution (taken from another reviewer) was to take an old mint tin, strum rubber bands in a cross hatch across the lip of the tin, and then rest the soap bar on top of the rubber band. The tin offered a lip to catch any soap drippings, and prevented future stains.

If you struggle with dry skin, this bar will be a good addition to your skincare routine.

When I wash my face and body with this, it leaves a moisture barrier that keeps my skin from getting dehydrated.

Not Great

I was very excited to try out a zero waste face wash from Eco Collective. The design and ingredients are great. However, after the first couple of washes, I discovered some sort of plastic inside the soap bar. It seemed to be in the middle of the bar and had pieces sticking out that would scrape my face. Not sure if it was just an error bar but I was pretty disappointed. Hopefully the rest are not like this one!

Hi Dana, Oh no, we are incredibly sorry that this happened! Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention - this is the first instance such a problem has come up with our face soaps. We will contact the manufacturer right away to ensure that this doesn't happen again, and we will reach out to you directly via email shortly to offer some options to make up for this very unfortunate experience! We value you as a customer and member of our community, and will do our best to make things right. -The Eco Collective team

Flora - spinach matcha facial bar soap for normal to dry skin

Great face wash at a great price

Love this face wash. It doesn’t irritate or dry out my skin.

I love this soap! It soaps up really easily, and you don't need much to get a thick lather. Doesn't dry out my skin

Perfect Cleansing

This is the face wash my dry skin was looking for. Such a gentle cleanse, pleasantly faint smell, and seems like it will last me a long time as the bar hasn't even changed shape after two weeks of using it. Super excited to keep using this!

Feel the Moisture... Be the Moisture

A lot of facial soaps (bar and otherwise) can feel like they strip the skin of everything- dirt, bacteria, and oils. With this bar, I feel like it is cleansing without stripping away moisture that I need to replace right away with face lotion and the like. I can't speak to the UV protection, inflammation reduction, or redness reduction that the description holds, but so far have been very satisfied with my purchase- which is great, since this seems like it will last me a long time!

I've been using this face wash every day for a few weeks, and the block still appears as large as when it arrived. It is going to last me a long time,and was well worth the 10 bucks.
