Bay Beyond Inc. Introduces New Line of Inner Ocean® Seaweed Soaps

In 2006, Blair Snyder gazed out across the seaside marshes of Virginia’s Eastern Shore and wondered what would happen if she dried some seaweed and added it to her handmade soap.  What happened was a miraculous transformation, a striking color of emerald green that led to the creation of an array of nautical soaps. 

Blair began peddling her homemade goods to local gift shops, one of which was at the facility of Bay Beyond Inc., headquarters for the Blue Crab Bay Co.® line of specialty foods.  Pamela Barefoot, founder of the Blue Crab Bay® brand, immediately recognized a struggling entrepreneur and offered some business guidance.  A year later, Bay Beyond Inc. acquired “Sea Soaps” and rebranded it as Inner Ocean®. 

Today the Inner Ocean® line includes a variety of handmade glycerin-seaweed soaps in nautical shapes and forms. Crabs, seahorses, seashells, sand dollars, starfish, sailboats, lobsters and other seashore shapes are either imbedded in the seaweed-green soaps or adorn the tops. The handcrafted, lightly scented soaps range from 2 oz. to 6 oz. in weight. A selection of soaps is also available on wooden or porcelain soap dishes.

Rounding out the line are a guest soap gift box, which contains six shell-shaped soaps nestled in seaweed-like paper shred; a fishnet wrapped “Skinny Dipper” gift pack; bath sea salt; sea wool sponges and jars of beachcomber’s potpourri. New customers might want to try the Soothing Sampler, an introductory assortment, or the Soap Mini-Sampler, which includes one of each soap. Personalized seaweed soaps are also available as coastal wedding favors.
