About Old Salt Grooming Supply

They call us Old Salts—mariners who’ve seen the way the wind shapes a sail and the tide shapes a man. From those waters comes Undaria sea kelp: tough enough to anchor in pounding surf, rich enough to restore skin and hair with hydration, minerals, and antioxidants. Our founder, lifelong sailor and environmentalist Kelly Perkins, built Old Salt from seafaring grit and respect for the ocean. A lifelong sailor and environmentalist, Kelly and her husband, Craig, spent years navigating coastlines under sail, learning firsthand what it means to live simply, sustainably, and in tune with the elements. Kelly also began making her own soap in the 1990s after uncovering the harsh truth about toxic ingredients hidden in everyday personal care. When they couldn’t find products clean enough for their lifestyle—or the marine ecosystems they cherished—Kelly started formulating her own, like a sailor builds a kit: versatile, dependable, and made to last the voyage. A shampoo that doubles as soap. A serum stick that soothes sun-worn skin. All made with clean, plant-based ingredients and without a trace of plastic waste. Certified B Corp, cruelty-free, and made in the USA, Old Salt Grooming Supply is built for those who live close to the earth and sea—campers, adventurers, and everyday men who value craftsmanship, clean ingredients, and a great bar of soap. Each product is crafted like a sailor’s kit—versatile, dependable, and made to last the voyage. No toxins. No plastics. Read their story
