About Us
A handcrafted bath and body brand, established in 2013 in Newport, Rhode Island.
A handcrafted bath and body brand, established in 2013 in Newport, Rhode Island by husband and wife duo Jake and Steph Kopper. Shore Soap Co. channels their inspiration from the sea to create quality products that portray nature and simplicity. With a wide range of natural nutrient-packed products to choose from, there’s something for everyone.
Initially formed in the kitchen of their Newport Rhode Island home, Jake and Steph began experimenting with cold-process soap making. This exposure to the world of handcrafted personal care items drove them to expand beyond soap and continue formulating other new products. Their goal was to create high-end goods using natural premium ingredients while also keeping them affordable. Shore Soap Co. products can be found at their flagship retail location, online and in over 90 independent retail shops. Watch us progress on instagram and follow us on facebook.

Overseeing our first batches of soap in our Newport home, Bailey was there from the very start. She always sought out new shorelines to explore, swimming holes to retrieve in, and oceans to oversee. She brought us to the shore year-round, opening our eyes to how much plastic collects along our local coastlines — inspiring us to reduce our plastic packing and #cleantheshore. A product developer and frequent user of our Tick’d Off Dog Shampoo. The beach held a special place in her heart, and she brought us there regardless of the weather — wind, sleet, snow, rain, or shine.
