We are thrilled that the Sea Soak has been met with such rave reviews. One of the things we love most about is that it works a little differently on everyone — and it even works slightly differently each time you take it, seemingly adjusting to suit your specific needs at that particular time.

“Whoa. This is not your usual bath product. I was skeptical about how a sea soak could detoxify, until I found myself sweating in the tub and then feeling deeply relaxed, yet rejuvenated, afterwards. Whatever magic is happening here, I’ll take it.” – Jill R.

“Ever since I went through menopause, I’ve struggled with dry, brittle hair. I’ve tried everything — oils, deep conditioning masks — and it never seems to do much. I squeezed the Sea Soak gel onto my scalp and hair and left it in for 30-45 minutes along with my usual hair mask and the result was amazing. My hair looked considerably healthier and shinier!” – Sarah D.

“WOW!!!!! I feel amazing — as good as I feel after a massage — my muscles are more relaxed, my blood feels like it is just humming through my body. I definitely worked up a sweat, but there was something smooth about the experience, whereas I often find steam rooms and saunas to feel jarring. It was very relaxing, a great way to unplug.” – Kristin R.

"I haven't taken a bath in 20 years, but it was amazing. Intense, and almost uncomfortable as I got hotter. But you know it's doing something great, because for the rest of the day, I had an insane surge of energy." – Al D.

"That was intense, FYI. First ten minutes: no big deal (I take Epsom salt baths all the time). Next ten minutes, very different from your basic salt soak. I'd make this a monthly ritual." – John M. 

“Life changing!!! Best bath experience ever…helped me recover from my cold, lost water weight and I slept like a baby afterward.” – Gayle O.

“Sweating after five minutes! Subscription, please.” – Kristina H.

"I thought perhaps the description for this bath was (forgive me) overstated, as I have filled plenty of bathtubs with seaweed and it’s lovely... but had never felt like a spa experience. And then I had my bath. It was incredible! Why was this so different? Is it the giant kelp? The whole process was wonderful- opening the box, so beautifully packaged, I was already in the experience carefully unwrapping the muslin to reveal the contents. It was all that your description stated- deeply restorative , detoxifying and a spa experience. Thank you for always  bringing the best and keeping the highest of standards for pure, natural, ethical and sustainable  ingredients and companies." - Jeanne F.
