Sasquatch Silver Steep—White Tea and Colloidal Silver Soap
Sasquatch Silver Steep is the bar for people who don't need to make a scene about it. Calm exterior, serious base, a scent so clean and quiet it practically whispers. White tea and Pork Tallow and colloidal silver walk into a shower — and no, that's not a joke, that's just a really good bar of soap.
🍵 Calm on the surface. Serious underneath. Like the Sasquatch himself — you won't hear it coming, but you'll know it was there.
This isn't the bar that announces itself. It's the bar that works. The white tea scent — a soft, clean, spa-quiet fragrance — sets the mood: gentle, refined, the kind of scent you'd expect in a very expensive hotel bathroom that you definitely did not accidentally wander into. The Seedsquatch base does the real conditioning work, and formulated-with colloidal silver brings a premium touch to a bar that earns every penny of its price.
Why We Put It There:
-
White Tea Fragrance (Skin-Safe) — A fully disclosed, skin-safe fragrance capturing the clean, soft, slightly floral character of white tea. Scent-forward — the mood-lifting freshness is the point. Used within rinse-off safety limits.
-
Colloidal Silver — This bar is formulated with colloidal silver — real microscopic silver in suspension. We make no antimicrobial claims; we do make the claim that it's an intriguing, premium ingredient that's been part of wellness traditions for a very long time. It's in the bar. You're washing with it.
-
Pork Tallow — The conditioning anchor. Fatty acid profile that works with your skin's natural lipid structure to nourish rather than just strip.
-
Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil — Delivers the bubbly, dense lather and the cleansing action that lets everything else work.
-
Organic Castor Oil — Lather stabilizer and humectant. The foam stays. The moisture stays (relatively). The dry, tight feeling after a rinse does not.
-
Food-Grade Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) — Essential to saponification; fully consumed in the process; leaves natural glycerin (~12–15%) retained in the bar — the humectant your skin actually wants.
🌿 Quiet bar. Honest ingredients. The kind of clean that doesn't feel like it was made in a factory by someone who's never met skin before.
Sasquatch Silver Steep is formulated with colloidal silver — we say "formulated with" because that's accurate, honest, and exactly what your bar is. The white tea scent is a skin-safe, fully disclosed fragrance because real white tea botanical extracts do not survive saponification in a meaningful way — and we'd rather tell you the truth than sell you a story. The Pork Tallow base conditions. The coconut oil lathers. The castor oil holds everything together. The retained glycerin hydrates. The silver adds premium character. The scent sets the mood. No shortcuts. Loud results.
🌿 Ingredients
Every Seedsquatch bar is built on the same legendary foundation. Here's what each base ingredient actually does:
-
-
- Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil — Creates an exceptionally hard, long-lasting bar with a rich, bubbly lather. Its high lauric acid content gives it natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, deeply cleanses without synthetic surfactants, and helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier.
- Free Range Lard — The dark horse of soapmaking. Lard's fatty acid profile is remarkably similar to human skin's own lipid structure, making it uniquely nourishing and non-irritating. Rich in Vitamins A, D, and E from sun-raised pigs, it creates a creamy, conditioning lather that plant oils simply can't match.
- Organic Castor Oil — The secret weapon behind that cloud-like lather. Castor oil stabilizes and amplifies bubbles by up to 30%, making them denser and more luxurious. It's also a powerful humectant, drawing moisture from the air directly into your skin.
- Distilled Water — Clean water means no mineral interference with the saponification process, producing a consistent, pure bar every time.
- Food Grade Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) — Don't panic. Lye is how soap has been made for thousands of years. When it reacts with oils and fats through saponification, it transforms completely — zero lye remains in the finished bar. What's left behind is natural glycerin, which hydrates and softens your skin. Industrial soap manufacturers strip out that glycerin and sell it separately. Seedsquatch keeps it in.
- Essential Oil Blends — Pure plant-derived aromatic compounds that provide scent and therapeutic skin benefits specific to each bar. Listed per product.
- Skin Safe Mica Powder — A naturally occurring mineral ground into fine powder, processed to remove any naturally occurring impurities, then used to create the color in each bar. It's in your eyeshadow, your blush, and your highlighter. Completely skin-safe, vegan, and cruelty-free.
- Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil — Creates an exceptionally hard, long-lasting bar with a rich, bubbly lather. Its high lauric acid content gives it natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, deeply cleanses without synthetic surfactants, and helps maintain the skin's moisture barrier.

☠️ WARNING
Most big‑brand soaps are less “gentle forest spring” and more “industrial degreaser in a party dress.” If the ingredient list reads like a failed chemistry quiz, that’s your first red flag and your cue to keep walking.
Sulfates
SLS,SLES, and their bubbly cousins with names that look like Wi‑Fi passwords. These detergents blast away dirt, but they also steamroll your skin’s natural oils, leaving you dry, itchy, and wondering why you suddenly shed like a lizard in witness protection. If your soap lathers like car‑wash fluid and your skin feels “squeaky,” that’s not “extra clean,” that’s barrier damage.
“fragrance” / “parfum”
These catch‑all words often hide phthalates and other additives tied to hormone disruption, allergies, and skin freak‑outs. If the scent could knock out a small village and the brand still won’t say what’s making it smell like “Arctic Thunderstorm Galaxy Sport,” treat it like a red flag in a bottle.
Parabens
These common preservatives are under fire for possible endocrine disruption, which is scientist for “might mess with the hormone orchestra that keeps you running like a functioning human.” If your soap is promising to last until the heat death of the universe, parabens may be helping it get there.
Formaldehyde‑releasing preservatives
Look out for DMDM hydantoin and other formaldehyde donors that trickle out small amounts of formaldehyde over the product’s shelf life. They keep microbes out, but they can also stir up contact dermatitis and allergic reactions in people sensitive to formaldehyde, which is not exactly the vibe you want from a relaxing shower. If your soap needs embalming‑adjacent chemistry to stay “fresh,” maybe it shouldn’t be on your skin in the first place.
Synthetic dyes
FD&C and D&C colorants (like Blue 1, Red 40, Yellow 5) add bright color and absolutely zero skin benefit. They’re there so the soap looks fun on a shelf, not so your skin feels great in real life, and they can be irritating for sensitive folks or kids. If your soap looks like a neon highlighter, remember: you’re washing your body, not customizing a sports car.
PEGs and “‑eth” ingredients
Ingredients ending in “‑eth” often go through a process that can leave behind contaminants like 1,4‑dioxane, which nobody invited to the shower. These show up as solvents, emulsifiers, and “feel enhancers,” but the baggage they bring has put them on many “maybe don’t bathe in this every day” lists. If it reads like a chemistry tongue‑twister and ends in “‑eth,” consider it a maybe‑not‑today situation.
Mineral oil and petrolatum
Mineral oil and petrolatum (petroleum jelly) are cheap, heavy occlusives often used to trap moisture — and everything else — under a shiny film. They’re also tied to environmental concerns, since they’re born from petroleum extraction and refining, which is not exactly Bigfoot‑approved. There are far better ways to moisturize than slathering yourself in a distant cousin of motor oil.
