"These are amazing smelling bars — sold 3 in the first half hour they were in my store."

"This is my second order of soap. It's a crowd favorite in my family and I was asked to restock everyone's supply. It is wonderful at exfoliating with the coffee ground side and the luxurious soap with its beautiful scent is so soft on your skin. I'm so happy I found this company and feel so good about the benefits for the environment by upcycling."

"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!"

Our Story

Born from the bottom of the cup.

2nd Ground started with a simple question: what happens to all those spent coffee grounds? Every bar we make rescues grounds that would otherwise end up in landfill — turning them into a natural exfoliant that's genuinely good for your skin and the planet.

We partner with reforestation and ocean cleanup initiatives, so every shower you take gives something back.
