Seasonal Soaps Subscription Box

Celebrate the changing of the seasons with our seasonal soaps subscription box! Every three months you'll receive four bars of soap - two of each of our newest seasonal soaps - before they're released to the public.

Our seasonal soaps are handmade here in Tacoma, palm oil-free, and vegan, and our scent combinations are carefully selected to be the best representation of the coming season.

Makes a great gift for yourself or a friend!

Your first subscription will be delivered following your order. All future subscriptions will renew on November 19, February 19, May 19, and August 19.

Note each season's soaps are made in limited quantities. If your first subscription order is placed after that season's soaps have sold out, we will send you an assortment of four soaps in place of that season's soaps. All future subscriptions will contain two of each of the next seasonal soaps.

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.

Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.

It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.

But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.

So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our zero waste seasonal soaps subscription box so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:

• We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. In 2022, we saved all of our trash for four months, and wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: in four months, we only produced two pounds of trash. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
• We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.
• We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.

Got more questions about our zero waste products or our practices behind the scenes? Just send us an email! I’m always happy to chat all things eco.
