Balsam & Cedar is the feeling of walking into a forest and exhaling for the first time all day — lather with balsam fir, cedarwood, and eucalyptus to help you slow your breathing.
The woods in a bar. Cedar, pine, and eucalyptus lather into something deeply, unmistakably Adirondack — the kind of shower that makes you feel like you've been somewhere real. Natural olive oil bar soap, hand-crafted in Lake Placid, NY.
The Scent
Cedar opens warm and woody — anchoring, familiar, the feeling of the forest. Eucalyptus adds a clean, bright lift that clears the air in one breath. Pine weaves through both, keeping everything rooted and real, like a trail you know by heart.
The Feeling
A Ground soap for the woman who carries the mountains with her. Use it on the mornings you need to feel steady before the day begins, or on the evenings you need to wash the week away.
How to Use
Lather in your hands or directly on skin. Rinse thoroughly. Store on a soap dish between uses to extend bar life.

I bought these soaps as Christmas gifts. And the recipients loved them, especially the fragrance. ☺️
I discovered pure placid while on a weekend getaway 2 years ago. I randomly walked into the store to look around. I’m a bar soap user and when I found their extensive collection of soaps I was immediately hooked. Absolutely great product and would highly recommend.
I have been using Pure Placid Soap since their beginning and have never been disappointed. I love the smell and hydrating properties of this soap.
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!!!
Balsam and cedar scent is a classic!
I spay this on my sheets and pillows a few minutes before i go to bed - i love the fragrance and feel like i’m sleeping in a 5-star hotel! I’ve also sprayed it on a cloth that I put in my car!
Have purchased and used these for the last few years and love. I cannot use most fragrances, but have not had any issues with these. The body lotion is light, but effective. Not sticky or tacky. Have used several scents and love them all.
An excellent product. We are in the woods a lot and this spray really helps with the bugs. It is nice to know it is safe to use on our dog too.
I absolutely love this new scent! It is now going to be a go-to for me. It smells SO good but is not too overpowering.
