There’s something ancient and instinctual about bathing under open sky. No tiles. No extractor fan. Just steam against trees, the sound of water mixing with wind, and the kind of stillness you don’t get indoors.
A Different Kind of Ritual
In cooler air, the skin responds differently. Pores tighten slightly, scents carry softer, and the feeling of water on the body becomes less automatic — more present. That’s what outdoor bathing does best. It slows things down. Reminds you you’re still part of the natural world.
What It Teaches Us About Soap
It’s the same thinking that guides how we formulate at Tula Louise. Each bar is made to bring you back to that sensory connection: superfatted for moisture, cold-processed without shortcuts, and softly scented with botanicals your skin can actually recognise.
Making Space for the Outside
You don’t need a cedar tub in the forest to feel it. Whether it’s a cabin, a garden hose, a bucket and bowl, or simply cracking open a window — consider letting a little of the outside into your bathing ritual. Your skin, and your mind, will thank you for it.
At Tula Louise, our soaps are objects designed not only to cleanse but to reconnect you with daily rituals — to slow things down, even just for a moment.
