Wow! This soap is phenomenal!

This soap is one of the best products I've purchased for my skin recently. The lather is rich and sudsy while the coffee side has a great exfoliating quality to break down dead skin, leaving me feeling polished. I love the scent as well. Not over powering but a great subtle clean fragrance. Would def recommend to anyone!

Sold 3 bars in the first 10 minutes!

These are amazing smelling bars! So amazing, I sold 3 in the first 1/2 hour they were in my store.

Excellent soaps.

These soaps work well, and are not at all harsh, you could say lotiony. The scrubbing action is perfect for heavy grime, cleanliness acheived. Having tried a few of the scent combinations I can say they deliver as promised, all pleasant.

I love this up-cycled coffee soap!

I love the rich coffee scent mixed with Lavender. The exfoliating grounds leave my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. It's also eco-friendly. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a beautiful and unique soap!

Best. Soap. Ever!

I'm absolutely in love with the new scents! I'm currently using the Black Raspberry and Vanilla...LOVE IT! I took a "sneak-sniff" at the Almond one and am so excited to try that next. Honestly, my skin has never felt so soft and moisturized as it does not since I started using 2nd Ground! Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Best soap ever!

Being able to exfoliate my skin on a daily basis without causing irritation, is AMAZING! Especially this time of the year in New England! The exfoliating side is awesome and then the soap side of the bar helps keep my skin from getting dry.

More Than Just Soap.

2nd Ground was born from the idea that waste can be transformed into wellness. Every bar starts with upcycled coffee grounds and ends with a cleaner conscience.

We’re a Brooklyn-based small business making skincare that’s plastic-free, story-rich, and truly sustainable — one bar at a time.
