White Birch is the feeling of the still hour before anyone else is awake — made with birch bark, warm tonka bean, and cedar to help you find the quiet inside you.
Cool, quiet, and completely calming. White birch and soft rose meet warm tonka bean in a lather that's gentle, grounding, and unexpectedly beautiful. The soap that stays on the counter because it belongs there. Natural olive oil bar soap, hand-crafted in Lake Placid, NY.
The Scent
White birch opens cool and clean — pale, slightly woody, the scent of bark in morning light. Rose adds a soft, warm floral presence — there, but never demanding. Tonka bean draws everything close and sweet, like a quiet morning in the birch trees.
The Feeling
A Ground soap for the still moments. The bar you keep at the bathroom sink because it makes getting ready feel like something more than a routine. A beautiful, thoughtful gift — the kind that makes a bathroom feel cared for.
How to Use
Lather in your hands or directly on skin. Rinse thoroughly. Store on a soap dish between uses to extend bar life.

Love the scent-
I bought this as a gift to former NYS residents to give them a reminder of their home state and it was a big hit! They love the smell and how it made their bathroom smell. The soap is wonderful.
White Birch soap has a wonderfully clean fragrance that makes taking a shower like a trip to an expensive spa. It’s creamy and very moisturizing leaving my skin soft with a light scent. The “bonus” of this soap is its beautiful black/white marbling throughout the bar. As you use it, it just keeps getting more beautiful!
I purchased a Balsam & Clementine soap bar when I was in Lake Placid earlier in 2024 (it was the first time I’d been in the store). When I used it, it had an even nicer smell than I expected for a soap AND it made our bathroom have a nice smell to it. Because of that, I then ordered 8 bars (varied) on-line, the shipping was very reasonable for 8 cakes of soap and when they arrived all smelled so good - and our bathroom smells even nicer whenever we open the drawer we keep them in. I will also add, they were packaged very well and arrived in a very timely manner. Absolutely no complaints!!!

Here’s a revised version that reflects the sandalwood note:
Pure Placid Cashmere Sweater Body Oil is a luxurious body oil that leaves skin feeling soft, nourished, and beautifully hydrated. What I love most is its lingering fragrance—warm, cozy, and incredibly comforting. The scent has a creamy vanilla sweetness balanced by a rich, woody note that reminds me of patchouli, though it is likely the sandalwood listed in the fragrance profile. The combination creates a sophisticated, grounding aroma that lingers gently throughout the day without being overpowering. It truly evokes the feeling of being wrapped in a soft cashmere sweater and is a delight for both the skin and the senses.
I love every product Pure Placid makes. I bought this for a gift for a dear friend. I always go here to get gifts to bring a bit of the Adirondacks to other people
Love this store! Visit it whenever I am in town
Friendly staff, nice bright clean store.
This spray did nothing for me or my dogs with the black flies or any other insects in Central Maine. It was a waste of money.
