At Crooked Pines Farm, we take great pride in crafting our own line of natural, herbal-infused bath and body products. From soothing bath salts to nourishing body butters, each item is made with care using farm-grown botanicals and time-honored techniques. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, skin rejuvenation, or a refreshing aromatherapy experience, our homemade soaps, scrubs, and more can provide holistic wellness benefits to help you unwind and reconnect with nature.
Herbal Ingredients
The foundation of our bath and body products lies in the carefully selected herbs we cultivate right on our farm. We grow a variety of medicinal herbs like lavender, chamomile, and calendula, prized for their calming and soothing properties. Our aromatic herbs, including rosemary, peppermint, and lemongrass, lend invigorating scents to uplift the senses. And our skin-nourishing herbs, such as aloe vera, oatmeal, and shea butter, work to hydrate and replenish dry, irritated skin.
Through sustainable harvesting methods, we ensure our herbs retain their potent phytochemicals and therapeutic benefits. Once collected, we infuse these botanical wonders into our handcrafted formulas, allowing their natural goodness to shine in every bar of soap, jar of lotion, and fizzing bath bomb.
Soap-Making Techniques
Our soap-making process fuses time-honored traditions with modern know-how. We primarily utilize the cold process method, which involves carefully blending plant-based oils, lye, and our herbal extracts to create nourishing, long-lasting bars. This slow, gentle approach preserves the glycerin that helps lock in moisture, resulting in a soap that’s gentle yet effective.
For those seeking an even quicker option, we also offer melt and pour soaps. By starting with a pre-made glycerin base, we can quickly infuse it with our custom herb and essential oil blends, then pour it into molds to set. This method allows for greater creative freedom in shape, color, and scent combinations.
In addition to our cold process and melt and pour soaps, we formulate glycerin-based soaps that provide a luxurious, bubbly lather without stripping the skin of its natural oils. These gentle cleansers are ideal for those with sensitive skin or specific skin concerns.
Bath Product Formulations
Alongside our diverse range of handcrafted soaps, we offer an array of soothing bath products to enhance your self-care routine. Our herbal bath salts feature a blend of Epsom, Dead Sea, and Himalayan salts, infused with essential oils and flower petals to ease muscle tension and promote relaxation. For a fizzing, fragrant experience, our aromatherapy bath bombs dissolve in the tub, releasing calming or invigorating scents to delight the senses.
To lock in hydration after a luxurious soak, we’ve developed rich, velvety body butters. Crafted with shea butter, coconut oil, and our farm-fresh goat milk, these emollient formulas melt into the skin, leaving it supple and nourished.

Farm-Grown Botanicals
At the heart of our bath and body line are the herbs and flowers we tenderly cultivate on our own farm. By growing our key ingredients organically, we ensure they’re free from harmful chemicals and retain their full spectrum of beneficial properties. Through sustainable harvesting practices, we carefully gather each plant at its peak, preserving their natural potency.
Handcrafted Approach
Unlike mass-produced bath products, every item in our collection is made in small batches with meticulous attention to detail. Our skilled artisans pour their passion into each step, from blending the botanical-infused oils to hand-pouring the final products. This artisanal craftsmanship results in bath and body goods that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Product Customization
To cater to the unique preferences of our customers, we offer the option to customize many of our products. Whether you’d like to create a personalized scent blend or request a formula with specific skin-nourishing ingredients, our team is happy to work with you to bring your vision to life. It’s all part of our commitment to providing a truly personalized self-care experience.
Sustainable Practices
Environmentally-Friendly
Sustainability is a core value at Crooked Pines Farm, and this ethos is reflected in our bath and body line. We utilize renewable resources, such as plant-based oils and biodegradable packaging, to minimize our environmental impact. Additionally, our production processes generate minimal waste, with any byproducts repurposed or responsibly disposed of.
Ethical Sourcing
In addition to growing many of our own ingredients, we source the remaining botanicals and materials from fair trade and local suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and environmentally-conscious practices. By forging these partnerships, we can ensure the entire lifecycle of our products aligns with our sustainability goals.
Community Involvement
As part of our mission to promote wellness and environmental stewardship, we actively engage with our local community. You can find our products at the Victoria Farmers Market and other regional events, where we enjoy connecting with customers and sharing our knowledge about herbal self-care. We also host educational workshops on topics like natural skincare, aromatherapy, and sustainable gardening.
Wellness Benefits
Skin Health
Our handcrafted soaps, lotions, and scrubs are designed to nourish and revitalize the skin. The natural moisturizers in our formulas, like shea butter and aloe vera, help retain the skin’s essential oils, while the gentle cleansers rid the pores of impurities without stripping away vital hydration.
Relaxation and Self-Care
In addition to their skin-nourishing properties, many of our bath and body products offer aromatherapy benefits to soothe the senses and promote overall well-being. The calming scents of lavender, for instance, can help alleviate stress and anxiety, while invigorating notes of peppermint can energize and uplift the mind.
Holistic Wellbeing
By harnessing the therapeutic properties of our farm-grown herbs, we’ve created a collection of products that address not just the skin, but the mind and body as a whole. Whether you’re seeking relief from muscle aches, respiratory congestion, or simply a moment of tranquility, our herbal-infused bath and body items can support your holistic wellness journey.
At Crooked Pines Farm, we’re passionate about sharing the power of nature’s bounty with our community. Through our homemade herbal soaps, salts, and more, we invite you to experience the rejuvenating and restorative benefits of sustainable, artisanal self-care.
