The Sunshine Soap Shop

Descubre Beauty Bar | Nails Okotoks is its own vibe. Lemongrass and calm 🧖

Using natural, local products in a beautiful spa setting. Will definitely be booking some appointments here!

Have any of you been there?

🥣 Mix a few drops of Critter Blend into Unscented Tallow Butter (or your favourite unscented lotion or cream) to make your own leave-on critter blend. Start with a small amount, mix well, and adjust the scent to your preference.

It gives you the convenience of a leave-on product while keeping the ingredients simple.

Maybe next year I'll plan ahead and have a ready-made version for you. 😊 Until then, a little DIY works just fine!

Have you ever mixed your own custom moisturizer?

Did you know you can grab the Critter Blend as a pure essential oil and diffuse or use anyway you would like?

Fresh batche of Vanilla Rosemary Tallow Budder. Pouring double the large 9oz glass jars this time around. They sold out so fast last time.

No fillers. No fragrance. No 30-ingredient ingredient list.

Just grass-fed tallow, blue tansy, coffee oil, babchi seed oil, and myrrh—carefully blended into a rich face cream that supports dry, mature, and tired-looking skin.

And now available in three sizes, because skincare should fit your routine, not the other way around.

Handmade in small batches in Alberta. 🤍

Little behind-the-scenes things like this are one of my favorite parts of making bath bombs.

After they’re packed, they sometimes puff up slightly while they finish releasing gas from the reaction inside the bag… so I go through trays like this popping the extra air out one by one. 😂

The hiss. The smell. The rows of fresh bath bombs.

This is the kind of stuff you don’t see in mass production — just real handmade products being made in a real home workshop by real people who care about quality.

And yes… this is probably one of the reasons why my house always smells amazing. 🤍

Excuse the tired face and bad angle. It's real 😂

Turns out… a few small tweaks make a big difference.

We upgraded our dish & laundry bar with washing soda, a touch of sugar, and citric acid—better suds, better rinse, and that actually clean feeling without the plastic bottles and sulfates.

It’s simple, it works, and it makes dish duty feel a little less… tragic.

PSA (said with love):
If you were using this bar on your body before… she’s been promoted.
She’s not a body bar anymore. She’s a get things seriously clean bar now.

Most skincare is overcomplicated.

So I went the other direction.

Today’s shop day:

cucumber eye rollers, face bars, lip balm, sun sticks ☀️

If simple ingredients matter to you, follow along.

I started making products because I couldn’t ignore how many everyday things were affecting our bodies, our hormones, even our nervous systems.

This business has never been about appearing “natural.”

It’s been about searching for what actually supports health.

Simple ingredients. Thoughtful formulation. No perfume cloud required.

Clean should mean something.

Meet our new cleaning concentrates 🌿

Two intentional formulas, each designed for a different kind of surface care.

🫧 Home Cleanse is our Thieves Concentrate, made for kitchens, bathrooms, and everyday messes.
It contains Castile soap, Polysorbate 80, vegetable glycerin, essential oils, and a touch of citric acid.

Why it works:
Castile soap helps lift dirt, grease, and grime. Polysorbate 80 helps disperse the essential oils evenly so they don’t sit on top or clog your sprayer. Vegetable glycerin helps keep the formula smooth, and citric acid helps improve performance in hard water and gives the cleaner a little extra boost.
To mix: add 15–30 mL concentrate to a 500 mL spray bottle, then fill with water.
Each 250 mL bottle makes up to 16 full-size 500 mL bottles, depending on dilution.

Gentle Surface Care is made for stone, sealed wood, furniture, and delicate surfaces. It contains Castile soap, Polysorbate 80, vegetable glycerin, and our signature essential oil blend.

Why it works:
This formula keeps things simple and gentle. It skips citric acid and uses a lower essential oil load, making it a better choice for surfaces that need a little more care while still cleaning beautifully.
To mix: add 15 mL concentrate to a 500 mL spray bottle, then fill with water.
Each 250 mL bottle makes up to 16 full-size 500 mL bottles.

Both are concentrated, diluted at home, refill-friendly, and made with thoughtfully chosen ingredients.
One is for the harder-working spaces.
One is for the surfaces you want to protect.
Both are made to help you clean your home more simply.
