Verre de Mer Mineral Bathing Salts
Verre de Mer
Bathing Minerals
16oz
Verre de Mer (sea glass) began as a study in coastlines and mineral water, shaped from glacial silt, wild clay, ocean salt, and coastal plant matter gathered slowly and with care.
Garden herbs were fermented, tinctured, and distilled at their seasonal peak until the composition found its balance between sea and shoreline garden: green, resinous, mineral-rich, and softly windswept.
When scattered into warm bathwater, Verre de Mer dissolves into a deeply atmospheric immersion. The water becomes silken and clouded with mineral clay and ocean botanicals, carrying the faint scent of salt air drifting through evergreen boughs and crushed herbs warmed beneath the hands.
Long before modern remedies, the sea offered ceremony. Wild salt, oceanic flora, and the restorative ritual of bathing in mineral-rich waters formed some of the earliest traditions of bodily care and renewal.
In the stillroom, we return often to this elemental ritual.
Verre de Mer was composed to evoke the feeling of emerging from cold coastal water wrapped in linen and sunlight, skin lightly salted, lungs filled with conifer and thyme carried inland from the shore.
Olfactory Composition
Top Notes
Silver Fir and Spearmint open with a cool aromatic brightness, recalling sea wind moving through evergreen branches and garden mint crushed between fingertips.
Heart Notes
Myrtle Leaf and Wild Thyme Distillate create an herbaceous mineral heart, green and resinous with the subtle sharpness of coastal flora growing against stone and salt.
Base Notes
Frankincense Resin, Angelica Root, Juniper Berry, and Balsam Fir settle softly into the bathwater, grounding the composition in damp forest floor, mineral clay, and weathered driftwood warmed by the sun.
Mineral Profile
Wild Coastal Sea Salt, glacial clay, oceanic algae, spirulina, and hand-fractured sugar kelp work together to soften the skin while offering a deeply grounding bathing ritual rich in trace minerals and marine botanicals.
