A Deep Dive into The Collections: Meet Oats 'n' Goats, Salish Sea Siren, and More

I was wandering through Saxe Point Park earlier today, watching sailboats glide calmly across the water and feeling the soft, cool breeze brush past my cheeks. There’s something undeniably magical about this little oasis on Vancouver Island—a place that never fails to stir up fresh ideas and remind me why I love creating at Island Enchantments. Sitting on one of the rocky ledges near the shore, I found myself reflecting on the collections that define our brand, each one inspired by the island’s varied landscapes—from its rolling farmland to its wild ocean views. I’d love to take you on a personal tour of a few favorites that capture this island spirit: Oats 'n' Goats, Salish Sea Siren, and a handful of other standouts.

I have to start with Oats 'n' Goats, the collection that always makes me think of a warm, welcoming farmhouse. Whenever I long for a sense of grounding or calm, my mind drifts to sunny fields, the gentle bleating of goats in the distance, and the comforting swirl of oats in a bowl of fresh milk. That cozy daydream became the basis of Oats 'n' Goats, infused with nourishing goat’s milk, skin-soothing colloidal oatmeal, and (in some products) a drizzle of sweet honey. It’s the line I reach for when I want to feel anchored and cared for, especially on days when my skin could use an extra dose of love.

On the other end of the spectrum is Salish Sea Siren, a collection that sends my thoughts straight to the coastline I was admiring today—the sharp tang of sea air, the deep turquoise waters that crash against rugged rocks, and the whisper of myths beneath the waves. In these products, you’ll find marine extracts like seaweed, along with French green clay that helps draw out impurities without irritating your skin. I’ve added a refreshing blend of eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils to complete that invigorating, oceanic vibe, because it feels like a brisk evening stroll by the sea. Using anything from the Salish Sea Siren line leaves me with that revitalized sensation you get from dipping your toes into chilly water—it’s part therapy, part adventure.

I can’t talk about Island Enchantments without mentioning a few more collections that bring me just as much joy. Whipped Tallow Face Cream (which is on the horizon) takes a beautifully old-fashioned ingredient—tallow from grass-fed cows—and whips it into a light, easily absorbed facial moisturizer. It’s perfect for times when your skin craves extra hydration, like during cooler seasons or after a long day in the elements.

Our herbal soaps, made in small batches and steeped with ingredients like rosemary, lavender, or calendula, are another personal passion. I love rotating them based on my mood: maybe a calming lavender bar when I need to unwind or a rosemary-infused option if I’m craving something bright and invigorating. And if you’re a fan of a good scrub, keep an eye out for our upcoming Botanical Body Scrubs, which pair sugar or salt with essential oils for a mini spa day in your own bathroom.

Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention my beloved Magical Bath Soaks. Sometimes, life just calls for a long, hot bath filled with Epsom salts, Himalayan pink salt, aromatic herbs, and a drizzle of essential oils. To me, that’s the ultimate remedy for sore muscles and a cluttered mind—like submerging yourself in a little slice of Vancouver Island tranquility.

I often like to suggest mixing and matching collections depending on the time of day or how you’re feeling. Oats 'n' Goats is a beautiful way to start your morning on a gentle note, washing away that lingering sleepiness and preparing your skin for the day ahead. Salish Sea Siren is a perfect pick in the evening, when you want to cleanse both body and mind of the day’s stresses and imagine yourself carried off on a wave. And, of course, any of the other items—whether it’s a whipped tallow cream, an herbal soap, or a sugar scrub—can be woven into your self-care routine in whatever way feels right to you.

Standing here at Saxe Point, looking out at the sailboats on the horizon, I’m reminded of how grateful I am for the chance to capture these island vibes in a jar or a bar of soap. Every time I watch the waves roll in, see a goat grazing in a meadow, or smell lavender in full bloom, a little spark of inspiration lights up inside me. That spark is what drives me to keep creating products that combine sustainably sourced ingredients, small-batch care, and a dash of island magic.

I hope this gives you a glimpse into what makes each of these collections so special—and why they all hold a piece of my heart. If you’re not sure where to start, I’m always just a message away. There’s nothing I love more than helping people find that perfect product for their unique skin needs or introducing them to a new favorite scent. For me, it’s not just about skincare; it’s about sharing the softness, the adventure, and the quiet wonder of Vancouver Island with you, no matter where you call home.

Thank you for joining me on this little tour of Oats 'n' Goats, Salish Sea Siren, and everything else we’re cooking up at Island Enchantments. As I prepare to head back from the shore—my lungs full of salty air and my heart brimming with gratitude—I can’t wait for you to discover just how comforting, revitalizing, or plain fun our collections can be.
