Copano Bay Saltwater Soap

Saltwater from Copano Bay combine with loblolly pine, Cornmint, eucalyptus & basil to create this fresh light minty soap with backnotes of a Southern pine forest.

Copano Bay was inhabited by the nomadic Aransas people, who constructed camps along the shore, 4,000 years ago. The Aransas people left the area approximately 700 years ago, and were replaced around 1400 by the Copane, for whom the bay is named.The Copane were one of five groups making up the Karankawas, hunter-gatherers who occupied the mid-Texas coast.

Cabeza de Vaca is thought to have been the first European to sight the bay in the early 16th century, evidenced by the descriptions in his logs that match the detail of the area.

Today Copano Bay, an estuary, is home to a diverse ecosystem consisting of various birds including the endangered whooping crane, and numerous finfish including the redfish as well as shellfish such as oysters. It is classified as a nursery for shrimp, which prohibits production from the bay.
