Our Story
Established in 2013, Shore Soaps is a gourmet soapery with locations in Cape May, NJ and Stone Harbor, NJ. All of our products are made by us, by hand, in small batches out of our Cape May store. Our products are 100% vegan (no animal bi-products used), and cruelty free, from our ingredients to product testing. We only use the purest and highest quality essential oils which are steam-distilled right from the plant. We do not use any parabens, or harmful chemicals or preservatives in the making of our products. Our soaps are hand-cut, and cured for 4-6 weeks before shrink wrapping at peak-perfection and then distributed to our 20+ stockists, and our own store shelves. You can also find us at many festivals, farmers markets, and events in the area. Check our Stockists page for locations where to find us, and a schedule of our upcoming events!
