Our Story

Hey, friend! I'm Erin, the proud owner of Sea & Soul Botanicals, and I couldn’t be more excited to share my story with you. So grab your favorite cup of tea, get cozy, and let’s chat about resilience, creativity, and the joy of self-care.

This is a story about transformation and purpose—a journey that started during one of the most challenging times of my life.

In 2020, my world felt like it was falling apart. I was navigating a difficult divorce, had lost my job due to the pandemic, and faced the heartbreak of saying goodbye to my beloved dogs, Max and Hero. It felt like life was throwing every curveball imaginable. But in the middle of that storm, I found clarity.

I realized I needed to make a change—not just in how I lived, but in how I spent my time and energy. I wanted to create something meaningful, something that would bring joy, comfort, and care to others. That’s how Sea & Soul Botanicals was born—a brand inspired by the ocean’s calming beauty and the power of natural ingredients to transform our skin and our spirits.

Where It All Began
Back in 2016, my daughter Savannah was struggling with acne, and the harsh, chemical-laden products we tried only made things worse. Her confidence was suffering, and as a mom, I was determined to help. I started researching natural skincare solutions and created simple formulations with pure, gentle ingredients. To our delight, they worked—her skin cleared up, and her radiant smile returned.

Fast forward to 2020: I took that same passion for clean, effective skincare and turned it into something bigger. Armed with knowledge, creativity, and a desire to bring comfort to others during uncertain times, I started crafting artisan soaps, lotions, and candles in my San Diego home.

A Brand Rooted in the Beauty of the Sea
The ocean has always been my sanctuary. Growing up, I spent countless hours swimming, surfing, and connecting with the Pacific’s natural beauty. That connection inspired every aspect of Sea & Soul Botanicals, from our eco-friendly practices to the beachy, coastal vibes of our products.

When you experience our artisan creations, you’ll find more than just luxurious soaps, silky lotions, and fragrant candles—you’ll discover the calming essence of the sea, captured in every product.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable:
We use biodegradable packaging, recycled glass containers, and aluminum tops to reduce waste and protect our oceans. Our mission is to leave the planet better than we found it.

Handcrafted with Love:
Every soap, lotion, and candle is made in small batches, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail. You’ll feel the care that goes into every product.

From fragrances like Neroli & Jasmine to Sea Minerals, each product captures the serene beauty of the coast, transporting you to your own beachside retreat.

We partner with suppliers and artisans who share our values, fostering community and sustainability.

More Than Just Skincare
Sea & Soul Botanicals is about creating moments of calm in a busy world. Whether it’s the soothing scent of lavender from one of our candles or the silky touch of our Marine Infused Crema on your skin, our products invite you to pause, pamper, and reconnect with yourself.

When I’m not crafting these self-care treats, you can find me embracing the laid-back San Diego lifestyle—listening to reggae, brewing my own beer, or volunteering with Surfrider to protect the ocean I love.
