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!!!
Love this soap
I purchased 3 different fragranced products last week-end for myself and as gifts. I love the scents, and know they are high quality and will be well received by my reciepents!
I purchased two Pure Placid "Moment of Zen" soy candles primarily to support Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month research. While the charitable angle was my main reason for buying, the product itself turned out to be a genuine highlight.
The scent is a beautiful balance. The bergamot, green moss, and sandalwood blend nicely together, creating a peaceful, centering atmosphere that leaves me feeling relaxed, soothed, and focused from the inside out. The soy wax burns cleanly, which is a plus, and the overall vibe is exactly what the name suggests—a brief, necessary reset in the middle of a busy day.
Knowing that the proceeds go directly to the MS Society and the Tisch MS Research Center adds a layer of satisfaction to using it. It's my way to contribute to a cause that affects so many.
My wife loves the products she bought. The cashmere sweater is her favorite. I'll watch for sales, she wants the creams. Great store, love the atmosphere. Wishing you good luck in your endeavor!
Picked up a small candle to try when in town, really nice scent that doesn’t give me headache like most candles you get from bed bath and body works. The ingredients are clearly of a superior quality to what you will normally find.
I love all the Pure Placid candles and scents. The Zen candle is perfect for my reading nook! The dry oil is not heavy and does not irritate my very sensitive skin. Total winners!
