Cruising Solutions has found the very best saltwater bath gel and shampoo and brought it to North America.  Works great in freshwater too!  Campers, backpackers and Scuba divers will love it.

Simply great for a saltwater soapy, or for soaking your wetsuit or swimwear.  It just works great, and outperforms other so-called sailor's soap concoctions.  Developed and made by the scientists at Kappus in Germany, a 170 year-old firm that specializes in environmentally-friendly and natural soaps and skin care products.

Savon de Mer is a Fresh & Salt Water Shampoo & Body Gel that was developed to be able to be used in salt or fresh water. It is especially effective in salt water for shampooing, showering, and bathing. Made with special emollients to counteract the drying effects of the salt and sun on your hair and skin, it will leave you feeling fresh and clean like you cleansed in fresh water.

Savon de Mer does not contain soap as such. Soap is made from fats, oils and caustic soda. Soap works well in soft, fresh-water, but not in water containing any quantities of mineral salts (hard water). The disadvantages of ordinary shampoo, body gels and soaps are that they will not produce the rich lather of foam needed to properly wash away dirt particles and salt residues, and they can leave annoying curds and residues that will not rinse away. Savon de Mer contains special emollients which penetrate hair and skin to give long lasting protection against the parching effect of salt and sun. Towel-dried, skin feels fresh, hair is left tangle-free and full of bounce. It is biodegradable and pH7 – Neutral.

We’ve used this in both salt and fresh water for years. The whole family loves it - even those who are picky about their shampoo.

This soap works great! I lather it on after a snorkel, then rinse with fresh water. It makes my skin soft and it smells nice. Plus, I got it delivered even quicker than expected!

I first came across SavondeMer Fresh & Salt Water Shampoo & Body Gel a few years ago. I use it onboard my sailboat and at home, it is that good. Even my ex-wife commented how great my (white) hair looked …. and she doesn’t even like me! When I use it (and I was using it sparingly to make it last) I got many compliments on how nice my hair is. By the way, I am a man who never gave much thought to how it looked until then. My (new) wife uses it and loves it too. I am so delighted to have found Cruising Solutions.

Hello Cruising Solutions,
I discovered your salt water shampoo last spring on a Mahalo Sailing/Women Who Sail trip. The texture, fragrance were quite nice and my thick hair felt great when it dried too. That’s saying a lot because other biodegradable products do NOT work well on hair, leaves it feeling sticky.
