What are they?

 Small-batch bath salts infused with therapeutic botanicals like arnica, St. John’s wort, calendula, comfrey, and magnesium-rich minerals. Designed to target specific needs such as muscle recovery, skin soothing, morning revival, and deep relaxation, these soaks transform your bath into a healing ritual.

Wildcrafted Relief Soaks – Functional Bath Remedies for Body & Spirit

Steeped in the untamed botanicals of the Kootenays, this collection of small-batch, mineral-rich soaks is crafted for those who believe self-care should do something. Each variant is a targeted remedy—harnessing wildcrafted herbs, therapeutic salts, and forest-foraged essences to transform your bath into an immersive healing ritual.

Why These Soaks?

  • No fragrance, all function – Every soak addresses a specific need, from sore muscles to seasonal stress.  No fragrances, dyes or perfumes, ever. 
  • Wildcrafted with intention – Featuring hand-harvested arnica, St. John’s wort, and balm of Gilead from BC’s backcountry; solar-infused calendula petals; hand-harvested comfrey.
  • Deeply restorative – Magnesium-rich Epsom salts and Himalayan minerals work in harmony with potent plant allies.

How to Use:
Add ½–1 cup to warm water. Soak 20+ minutes. Repeat as often as needed—because healing isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Your Wildcrafted Relief Soaks arrive in resealable brown paper pouches—eco-friendly, minimalist, and designed to keep your salts fresh. Each recipe includes 300g of small-batch, mineral-rich blends, crafted with wild-harvested botanicals and therapeutic essential oils.

How Many Baths?

  • Generous 6–10 soaks per pouch (depending on preference).
    • Light soak: 30g per bath → 10 baths
    • Rich soak: 50g per bath → 6 baths

Enhanced with soothing copaiba and circulation-boosting black spruce, this blend is like a deep-tissue massage in a jar—without the appointment.

  • Wildcrafted arnica & comfrey (pain relief)

Sun Spirit Bath Soak

An Awakening Morning Ritual

The Feeling
Have you ever sat on the porch with your first cup of coffee, watching the morning light hit the trees? We created Sun Spirit to capture that exact moment. Designed specifically for a morning-time bath ritual, this soak is meant to awaken the senses, enliven the spirit, and leave your skin with a rejuvenated, "sun-kissed" glow.

The Formulation
We don’t believe in "flashy" scents or synthetic boosters. Instead, we’ve leaned into the simple, potent botanicals already loved in our apothecary.

  • The Triple-Citrus Sunrise: A bright, cheerful blend of Sweet Orange, Pink Grapefruit, and Bergamot. This isn't a heavy or perfumed scent—it is the crisp, clean aroma of fresh fruit intended to clear the morning fog.
  • The Spirit: We’ve added Frankincense Sacra for its clarifying properties. For mature skin, it is a traditional powerhouse for firming and toning.
  • The Golden Glow: Our own solar-infused Calendula oil and organic Rosehip seed oil turn the bath water into a moisturizing treatment. These oils ensure you step out of the tub feeling silky and hydrated, never stripped or dry.
  • The Wake-Up Call: A touch of Green Coffee Bean oil provides a subtle, earthy energy that pairs perfectly with your morning coffee and helps to firm and smooth the skin's surface.

The Ritual
Add a generous handful to a warm morning bath. Watch as the dried Calendula petals float like little sunbeams around you. Take a deep breath, sip your coffee, and let the minerals and botanicals prepare you for the day ahead.



Skin Comfort – Soothing Relief Soak for Dry, Irritated Skin

For skin that needs more than moisture- it needs peace.

Description:
For skin that feels angry, itchy, or uncomfortably tight—whether from seasonal dryness, occasional flare-ups, or chronic sensitivity—this ultra-gentle soak combines marshmallow root powder (a traditional skin soother) with wildcrafted calendula and mineral-rich salts to calm irritation, reduce redness, and support repair. A whisper of lavender and chamomile adds comfort without overwhelm.

Key Benefits:

  • Soothes dry, flaky, or irritated skin (including concerns like dry, sensitive skin).
  • Helps relieve the urge to scratch with marshmallow root’s protective mucilage.
  • Non-drying, fragrance-light formula designed for reactive skin.

Key Ingredients:

  • Marshmallow root powder (forms a protective, skin-softening layer)
  • Solar-infused calendula oil (reduces inflammation, promotes healing)
  • Epsom salts + pink Himalayan salt (minerals to aid skin barrier repair)
  • Lavender + chamomile essential oils (low-dose for gentle relief)

How to Use:
Add ½ cup to lukewarm (not hot) water. Soak 10–15 minutes 2–3x weekly. Pat skin dry—no rubbing.


Deep Rest – Nervous System Reset

For nights when your brain won’t hit ‘snooze.’

Description:
Stress melts here. Deep Rest is a nervine-powered soak blending St. John’s wort (wildcrafted in the Kootenays) and magnesium-rich salts to quiet mental chatter and prep your body for deep, uninterrupted sleep. Blue tansy and neroli add a whisper of calm, making this the ultimate "unplug" ritual for overstimulated minds.

Key Ingredients:

  • Epsom salts (magnesium for relaxation)
  • Wildcrafted St. John’s wort (nervine support)
  • Blue tansy, lavender, neroli (deep relaxation)

Mountain Mineral Recover Soak – Post-Wind & Dry Skin Repair

Description:
After a day in the crisp, cold air, your skin and muscles deserve a restorative thaw. This skin-softening, mineral-rich bath soak is crafted to ease winter-weary bodies. It combines skin-soothing calendula and restorative salts to replenish what the cold and wind take away, while rose absolute and pomegranate provide antioxidant support. Consider it essential apres-ski care or a warming sanctuary for any day spent outdoors.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

Epsom + Himalayan Salts: For easing muscle tension and replenishing minerals.

Solar-Infused Calendula: To gently soothe and comfort wind-exposed skin.

Rose Absolute & Pomegranate CO2: To support skin renewal with antioxidant support.

Add ½ cup to a warm bath. Soak for 15-20 minutes to unwind muscles and let your skin absorb the nurturing benefits.


Circulation Boost – Energizing & Decongesting

Like a cold plunge—without the shock.

Description:
For sluggish mornings and puffy days. Circulation Boost wakes up stiff limbs with peppermint and grapefruit, while cypress supports vein health. Ideal for desk-weary legs, post-flight puffiness, or pre-yoga priming—this is your "get moving" nudge in soakable form.

For the days when your body feels out of sync. This restorative soak blends wildcrafted St. John’s wort and blue yarrow with calming clary sage to ease tension, soothe occasional warmth, and soften mood swings—naturally. Magnesium-rich salts help relax tight muscles, while a whisper of bergamot uplifts the spirit.

Bug and Tickle Off– Post-Bite Soother

Scratch less, wander more.

This triple-action blend soothes existing bites (thanks to balm of Gilead) while eucalyptus citriodora creates an unfriendly environment for new pests. No harsh chemicals—just forest-smart tickle off for gardeners, campers, and patio loungers.

Key Ingredients:

  • Wildcrafted balm of Gilead (anti-itch)
  • Eucalyptus citriodora, tea tree (tick-unfriendly essences + antiseptic)

When you need to sweat it out—literally.

Customer photo review of Pure Grass-Fed Canadian Tallow Balm

I received my much anticipated package today. For the last year my friends have been telling me to get it on the tallow skin care regime. None actually caught my eye. Till I came across Kootenay Woman. My Soul actually stirred, that’s the sign that I had to try her products. I love nature and the forest, and believe in taking the time to create products of quality with the bounty of nature. As I just received them, I am looking forward to using the tallows, I couldn’t resist either some elderberry hot chocolate. There was a little extra tucked into the package as well. These products and the company principals resonate with me. Be patient she specifically mentioned that it takes 10 working days before it is shipped out. I’m across the country so getting it to NB from BC. It is well worth the wait.

I use the buckhorn at night on my décolleté and has noticeably made a difference with crepiness. The Annatto seed balm and rosehip I use either during the day or evening on my décolleté and face after my serums. I love these 3 balms, they are nourishment for my skin, and a little goes along way🌻

Customer photo review of The Matriarch: Nettle & Devil’s Club Balm

I waited awhile before reviewing so I could see how effective it might be. I purchased this to help with excema, mainly on my palms but also scalp/nape. I'm so thankful to have FINALLY found something that actually works. Soothes and calms nearly instantly and it lasts. A quick dab and rub in and such relief. Thank you Sarah! This is a blessing.

Customer photo review of Elderberry Syrup Kit

This elderberry kit was sooo easy to make and even more easy to enjoy. Absolutely delicious recipe that is a joy to drink as an elixir or add to soda water as a refreshing drink. I also add it to my salad dressing and drizzle it over a spinach and blackberry salad with feta.

I swapped out my drug store day and night moisturizer for this and I am never looking back. I live in the dry, windy prairies and this is going to be amazing through the winter. Super hydrating without being greasy or heavy. My skin is glowy and it feels so nice. I am excited to see the long term benefits of going more natural. And the smell is so light and fresh. I absolutely love it. And I’m already recommending it to my friends.

My word. How have I existed before Kootenay Woman goodness? You can see the swelling in my feet and this devils club balm is the bomb. But then, I tried the Matriarch.

I am so grateful for the nourishing tallows I ordered, which were very needed for my dry summer skin. They are rejuvenating and lightly scented. The annatto seed is my favourite!

Sarah's orders are always a great treat to receive - the teas, balms, ans powders have become a daily ritual. She is extremely passionate about what she does, does it in a very caring way. Orders are personally and beautifully packaged and container hand written thank you notes and ALWAYS kind bonus items. This is how I discovered the awesome power of the Tallow balms which I use morning and night. I truly appreciate Sarah given her generosity of spirit and "paying it forward" mantra, and her products reflect these ideals. What went from an initial order of Fireweed tea has blossomed into a plethora of items which I cherish. Thank you Sarah!!!

During the summer, I get fungal rashes under my breasts, and sometimes in my pitts - the Usnea & Wildwood Resin Balm works to heal and prevent like a hot d@mn! Highly recommend it - I also am using it on the eczema I get on my foot instep - seems to be working there too - kudos and thank you for making such a great product that even smells wonderful 😊

Usnea & Wildwood Resin- Underarm Balm

Customer photo review of Pure Grass-Fed Canadian Tallow Balm

I wanted to wait at least a month before writing a review so I could give this tallow a fair shake as far as assessing how it worked for me. I'm pretty lucky and don't have many skin issues, just general combination, but I did have quite a few closed comedones especially on my cheeks, which gave me a bit of a bumpy texture. I started using the blue tansy tallow at night, and it was the final piece of the puzzle for my skin care routine. Those comedones are GONE. That's 50 year-old skin in that picture, and it's dewy and smooth in a way it hasn't been in years. Truly phenomenal product and I love that it's from BC.

This is the most delicious healthy hot chocolate I’ve had. I love the fact that it is unsweetened and you can add sweetener if you wish. I used 1-1/2 teaspoons of the mix without any sweetener and it still was delicious! Who knew that hot chocolate could actually be good for you?

Customer photo review of The Pure Usnea Concentrate

This balm is the BOMB! I bought it for a plain deodorant but found so many more uses for it! I put it on my itchy skin, hives and even trying it on toenail fungus. (Not sure how this is working yet but will keep you posted) I had a spot of acne under my nose and yesterday evening I applied the balm and today, it’s gone! I just wish I took a before picture but just have the after. What kind of sorcery is this balm? Even acne medication doesn’t work this fast! Also a little goes a long way. I am totally impressed with this balm and can’t wait to try out the other ones!
