Why Naikai?

What makes our product different?

I have been creating for more than a decade to make beautiful, safe, and sustainable bath products--products you can feel good about using that feel good on your skin.

I lived in Japan for several years, and I discovered my own Mecca of baths: the Japanese onsen.  Onsen are public baths, often with  many different temperatures bath styles, saunas, and scrubs on offer.  I have never felt more relaxed or pampered than in an onsen.

Imagine my horror when I realized so many of the unique smells and ingredients of onsen were nowhere to be found stateside!  I looked everywhere for products to trigger that unique nostalgia--ultimately, I was forced to either import products from Japan (which is expensive and leaves a large carbon footprint) or make them myself.  Thus, Naikai Soap Co was born.

Our products use tried and true, ancient ingredients featured in Japanese skincare (and ingredients from our own garden!) to recreate that simple, sublime luxury of Japanese onsen.  We hope to transport you through the senses into the most relaxing place in the world.  Rejuvenating, cleansing, calming, moisturizing... products for all your needs from bath Heaven.
