Learn more about our soapstone products in our soapstone blog. We carry organic soapstone wax and oil, in addition to soapstone sinks, pizza stones, knobs, and tile.
Soapstone, characterized by rich tones and unique veins, requires little to no maintenance. Organic wax and organic oil enhances the soapstone’s color and age, making it darker in tones.
Soapstone is impermeable; in addition, it is heat resistant. These qualities make it a perfect cooking tool, in addition to a wonderful, stain-resistant, countertop material.
