Introducing Knot Scented: A Fragrance-Free Collection with a Nautical Twist

At Old Whaling Co., we’ve always believed in the beauty of simplicity and the power of high-quality, gentle ingredients. Our journey began with one very humble creation—a bar of unscented soap I made for my newborn son. As a new mom searching for gentle alternatives for his ultra sensitive skin, that original soap, though far from perfect in appearance (okay it was downright ugly), was the reason Old Whaling Co. exists today. Now, we’re excited to bring that history full circle with the relaunch of our fragrance-free collection, *Knot Scented*—a fresh take on an old favorite with a fun, nautical twist.


Knot Scented Bar Soap: Pure and Gentle

Our Knot Scented Bar Soap, formerly known as the Castile Baby Bar, is the most gentle soap we’ve ever created. Crafted from a nourishing blend of olive, coconut, and soybean oils, as well as skin nourishing goat’s milk, this bar is free from fragrances and color, allowing the natural aroma of the oils to take center stage. Ideal for sensitive skin, it’s a modern evolution of that first unscented bar that started it all.

Cold Process Soap Making Handcrafted in Charleston SC Old Whaling Company

Our handmade bar soaps are crafted from scratch, the old fashioned way, using a method called cold process. While our soap is fragrance free, there is still an aroma from the ingredients. Mild, milky and gentle, the scent of pure, old fashioned simple soap. 

A Rare Find: Fragrance-Free Bath Bomb

It's designed to moisturize the skin while offering a soothing bath experience, making it perfect for anyone seeking a fragrance-free option.

Knot Scented Body Butter: Rich Hydration Without the Scent

Our Knot Scented Body Butter provides deep hydration without any added fragrance. This rich, creamy body butter soaks in quickly and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth, offering the same luxurious moisture as our other products, in an unscented, fragrance-free formula.

Crafted with the same high-quality ingredients and care as the rest of our products, it delivers a gentle, nourishing experience that’s as thoughtful as it is effective.

A Playful Nautical Touch and Inclusive Design

Fragrance free doesn’t have to mean no fun. With such a fun, new name, we wanted to add a little something extra to the packaging. We’ve infused the Knot Scented packaging with a nod to our coastal roots through a collaboration with Charleston artist Blakely Little, whose sailboat artwork brings a whimsical touch to the collection.

The muted tones of the packaging are also a nod to the diverse range of skin tones we celebrate—our products are designed for every body. With humble beginnings, thoughtful artistry and inclusivity at the heart of this collection, Knot Scented embraces simplicity and individuality. We invite you to learn more about Blakely here
