Dead Tired Soap Co

Look, we know our s**t is expensive... $16 for a bar of soap is no joke. We get it. But hear us out before you keep scrolling.

These bars are roughly twice the size of what you’d get at the drugstore, and stuffed with mango seed butter, avocado and baobab oils, meadowfoam and kukui nut oil, camellia oil... basically the ingredient list of a $40 face serum, except this one you get to sob into while questioning your life choices in the shower at 11pm.

Glacial marine clay, raw Dead Sea salt, amla, matcha... it’s giving skincare routine vibes, not “bar of soap that smells like a candle aisle had a nervous breakdown.”

And here’s the part that actually matters: with daily use, one bar routinely lasts around 30 days. Do the math against those $4 bars that dissolve into mush by day six. We’re not really the expensive option.

Got commitment issues? Same exact formula, same everything, just smaller. Our 2oz bar is $8. Try it, fall in love, upgrade when you’re ready.

Autumnal Equinox. The scales tip toward the dark.

This Wednesday, day and night stand equal. By Thursday, the dark begins its long ascent and it will not yield again until spring. There’s something honest in that turn, in watching the year tilt toward the season we’ve always felt most at home in.

We’re marking it with 20% off sitewide, from the stroke of midnight Monday until the last hour of Wednesday, when the balance finally tips.

Let the dark in. It was always coming for you anyway.

Yeah, we saw the news too.

Our soap might smell like a bog (looks at our whole gothic swamp-witch lineup), but it won’t ever contain one. A certain “swamp water” hand soap just got recalled by the FDA for Pseudomonas and Serratia; real bacteria, not a bit. Dead Tired Soap Co. is still small-batch, still handmade in Vermont and still bog water-free.

Some things you just don’t cut corners on. Clean soap is one of them.

Starting January 1st, Dead Tired Soap Co. is stepping away from in-person markets and events.

We came into this year ready to show up everywhere: fairgrounds, festivals, markets, wherever we could get a table. What we’ve learned is that in-person events haven’t been the right venue for this brand, at least not right now. We’d rather put our time, energy and money into what actually serves you: the online shop, new formulations and making sure what we make can reach you directly.

Before then, you can still catch us in person at:

• A Circus of Salt & Bone - Sept 26, Troy NY

• Edgar’s Odditorium - Sept 27, Torrington CT

• Weird & Strange Bizarre Bazaar - Oct 24-25, Biddeford ME

• Twisted Tidings - Nov 14-15, Sanford ME

After that, you’ll find us here, at deadtiredsoap.com and in the Crypt Collective, always open.

No events are currently scheduled for 2027. If that changes, you’ll hear it from us first.

Dead Tired Soap Co. is setting up shop at the Foglight Festival at Strawbery Banke today, 11am to 8pm.

Come find us among the historic houses in Portsmouth, NH.

We’re bringing the full line: cold-process soap, our Vox Arcana extrait perfumes, and lip balm, all made small-batch and unisex. Come smell the collection in person and see what calls to you.

📍 Strawbery Banke Museum, Portsmouth NH
