The collection includes 'Nautical Nonsense' and 'Sea Star Shenanigans,' each formulated with distinct scents and purposeful ingredients. Nautical Nonsense blends notes of "pineapple, chamomile, and moss, creating a bright, ocean-inspired aroma." Its formula includes sea salt for exfoliation, pineapple extract with antioxidant-rich bromelain, and coconut oil for hydration. Sea Star Shenanigans features a tropical fragrance of "guava, pink pineapple, and peach." It contains starfruit extract to soothe the skin, sand to remove dead skin cells, and kaolin clay to absorb excess oil and impurities. The soaps are available exclusively to subscribers, sold individually for $6, as a 2-pack for $16, in soap and deodorant sets for $21 per scent, or as a 4-pack bundle with matching deodorants for $42. The collection combines nostalgic appeal with functional, skin-friendly ingredients.
