Where mountains and oceans meet, nature creates something remarkable. 

The heart of Rocky is in the Rockies, but as proud Canadians, we’re inspired by the landscapes that shape our country—from rugged peaks to wild coastal waters. 

That’s why we’re delighted to collaborate with Vancouver Island Sea Salt (VISS), to bring you a premium, small-batch collection—a combination of Canada’s finest. 

Introducing Rocky Reserve Sea Salt Soak & Sea Salt Scrub—crafted with hand-harvested, mineral-rich Canadian sea salt, blended with natural botanicals, and packaged sustainably, right here in our Canmore workshop.

Grove Sea Salt Scrub

The Unmatched Sea Salt of the Canadian Pacific 

The rugged shores of Vancouver Island provide the perfect conditions for crafting exceptional sea salt. The combination of glacier-fed waters and old-growth forests creates a natural balance of minerals, resulting in a salt rich in over 40 natural trace elements.  

Free from additives, this sea salt remains unspoiled—just as nature intended. This unique “merroir” (a term borrowed from wine-making that describes how an environment shapes a product’s flavor and composition) makes VISS one of the finest in the world. 

“Vancouver Island Sea Salt is an expression of the Canadian Pacific—hand-harvested, mineral-rich, and shaped by the rugged coastline...crafted with care to preserve its natural integrity.”  

Scott Gibson CEO/Co-Founder VISS 

Changing Canada’s Sea Salt Industry 

Vancouver Island

Despite Canada’s vast coastline, sea salt production didn’t exist before 2009. 

That changed when VISS put Canadian sea salt on the map, becoming one of the country’s first producers. 

Their commitment to sustainability goes beyond sourcing, ensuring that every grain of salt reflects the natural richness of Canada’s Pacific waters. VISS operates within a full circular economy, upcycling every drop of seawater. The by-products, such as fresh water and concentrated brine, are repurposed to support agriculture and artisanal uses. 

Crafted through a meticulous hand-harvesting process in small batches, their salt undergoes micro-filtering and energy-efficient boiling techniques to minimize impact while maintaining superior quality.  

Three Unique Blends 

The new Sea Salt Soak & Sea Salt Scrub are available in our signature Rocky Reserve scents—Flora, Grove and Rind. Our in-house herbalist curated each one to deliver a sensorial experience that deeply connects us to the Earth. 

Flora - Fresh rose geranium calms while vitamin-rich rosehip oil soothes skin. 

Grove - An uplifting combination of cedarwood and balsam fir to refresh and relax. 

Rind - A bright citrus blend of sea buckthorn and neroli invigorates the senses.

Rocky Reserve Sea Salt Scrub

Rocky Reserve Sea Salt Scrub is crafted with Vancouver Island Fine Sea Salt, with 1-3 mm fine crystals, hand-harvested in small batches.

The natural crystalline structure provides a deeper exfoliating experience compared to sugar scrub, effectively buffing away dead skin cells and leaving your skin smooth and refreshed.

Sunflower seed oil, rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, helps to hydrate and soften the skin. A thoughtfully selected blend of essential oils enhances the scrub, for a sensorial experience that connects you to the raw beauty of nature. 

Rocky Reserve Sea Salt Soak 

Rocky Reserve Sea Salt Soak is crafted with Vancouver Island Flake Sea Salt, known for its delicate, hollow pyramid-shaped crystals. These beautiful, natural flakes dissolve gently into your bath, creating a soothing soak that revitalizes the skin and promotes relaxation.

Elevated by a curated blend of essential oils, your bath becomes a moment of peace and connection to Earth’s natural elements.
