Handcrafted in small batches

When soap is made in its traditional manner, it keeps all the good stuff in. In commercially made soap you will usually find detergent, fillers, chemicals, petroleum, and other known irritants; this makes it less expensive as the good by-products of soapmaking are separated, and used to produce other cosmetics to the point where what’s left of these soaps are more like a powdered detergent in content. When products are created traditionally by hand, quality, pride and care go into them. Buying handcrafted local products‘s helps create balance, and financial sustainability.

About Angela, Our Founder

Tofino Soap Company began in 2010 in a kitchen in Tofino — but for Angela, the quiet, careful craft behind it has been a calling she's carried for as long as she can remember.

Before she ever poured a batch, she trained as a certified esthetician, holistic practitioner, and massage therapist, and spent seven years as a paramedic — a career that taught her calm under pressure, precision, and what genuine care truly means. It's a rare combination, and it's at the heart of everything we make.

When she moved to the coast, Angela practiced the work she loved as a spa practitioner at the renowned Ancient Cedars Spa at the Wickaninnish Inn for ten years — and it was during those years that Tofino Soap Company quietly grew beside her. Grounded in a deep love of botanicals and ethnobotany, her soaps and salves are built on the coast and the wild: Nootka Rose, Yarrow, Cedar, calendula, and more, harvested by hand and blended in small batches. Her original salve recipe was a family inheritance, passed down from her grandfather through her uncle.

Today Angela is a certified esthetician, holistic practitioner, massage therapist, and perfumer with more than twenty years of skincare experience. She's still as much at home in the forest and on the water as in the workshop — gardening, foraging, birding, and paddling — and it shows in every product she makes.

That's the standard you can trust from Tofino Soap Company. Made in small batches on Vancouver Island, since 2010. The original — still unmistakably hers.
