Unveiling the Heart of Summer: The Enchantment of Mendocino Bladderwrack Seaweed

At Summer Solace, every product we craft is infused with intention, a journey that begins with the heartbeat of our land. Our dedication to embracing the beauty of our region, cherishing local treasures, and nourishing your skin's well-being is what sets us apart.

Allow us to introduce you to a star ingredient that ignites the spirit of our creations: Mendocino Bladderwrack Seaweed, sourced exclusively from the vibrant shores of Northern California.

We use this ingredient in our SEA CHANGE tallow soap- my go-to soap for the hair, hands, face, and body. If I travel anywhere, this soap is with me.

This captivating seaweed, harvested with great care and respect by our dear friend Julie Druckner of Yemaya Seaweed Co., encapsulates the very essence of our coastal haven.

“We wake up at 4 AM and drive from the Anderson Valley 1-2 hours to the coast, where we make our way to the rugged Ocean with wheelbarrows, knives, and bags. Before each harvest, we give thanks by singing, making offerings, and prayers to Yemaya (the goddess of the oceans).”

“We can only harvest during a minus tide on the full moon and new moon between April and September when the ocean recedes more than during a regular low tide, roughly 25 days of the year."

"The Ocean has many moods, and she allows us a 2-3 hour window to cut the seaweeds. Suppose she is in a good mood. If she is in a bad mood - Do not cross her!”

“We return inland to dry the Seaweeds, which can take up to 15 hours, depending on the weather. We only rinse the seaweeds in ocean water to wash away sand. This seals in important nutrients."

"Our seaweed is sun-dried on tables and hand packaged with love.”

From its hydrating touch to its mineral-rich soothing embrace, this coastal treasure delivers a symphony of benefits that speak to your skin's well-being.

Let your skin experience the allure of the sea, the touch of the sun, and the whispers of nature herself. Welcome to the embrace of Summer Solace. Your skin's solace. Your soul's sanctuary.
