About Tsoji
The Name - A Quiet Mountain Lake
We, the founders, are old friends unraveling in our thirties—burned out by life's relentless pressures. Trading city chaos for Tibet’s rugged roads, our weary spirits found solace in a hidden mountain lake, 措吉 (Tsoji), its jade glow beneath sapphire skies quieting all noise within. That moment of stillness became Tsoji’s peaceful essence.
The craftsmanship – A Hermit in Jiezi Town
Afterward, we wandered into a quiet shop in Jiezi Town, discovering a humble soap maker whose thoughtful craft echoed the serene devotion of a mountain hermit. Each handcrafted soap embodied introspection and renewal, washing away worldly concerns.
Where the lake cross paths with the hermit
High mountain lakes, quietly beautiful, exist without needing validation, like the hermit devoted to reflective craftsmanship. Each quietly witnesses growth and change, and when the hermit gazes upon the lake, he sees himself.
Why We Craft Soap
Inspired by that profound encounter, we partnered with the Jiezi soap artisan, crafting soaps through traditional cold processes infused with restorative natural herbs. We stand with the high mountain lakes—rooted in resilience and serenity, embodied through craftsmanship. Sharing our soap with you is our way of carving tranquility into daily life.
What We Believe
Pause, then begin. A few mindful minutes can soften the toughest day.
Ancient roots, modern rhythms. Our handcrafted bars are made in small batches using the traditional cold process method, allowing time for natural saponification to occur. Now is the hour when patience blooms.
Nature knows best. Pure botanicals nurture skin, mood, and the planet all at once.
Your Daily Ritual
Through every soap, Tsoji invites you to a lakeside moment—daily, quietly, right at the sink or in the shower, feeling the stillness of mountain water and the hermit’s quiet commitment.
Lather. Breathe. Let the water rinse away doubt.
Recenter. Reconnect. Recollect. Revive.
Here, at the heart of the world, we witness our growth, embrace ourselves, and embark once again.
Traditional cold process— Blending pure plant oils and herbs at low temperatures to preserve each ingredient’s natural goodness, we create gentle, moisturizing bars true to nature.
Each Tsoji bar blends restorative herbs—like green tea to refresh, ginseng to nourish, olive to hydrate, and Shou Wu to renew—among many others, leaving you centered, resilient, and restored.
