natural soap rock crystal

I bought another soap and it looks a little different than the last time. Why?

The soaps are natural products and only contain natural raw materials. Therefore, it can happen that the color in one batch is a little more intense, or that the leaves and flowers are different sizes. In addition, the soaps are only produced in small batches.

Why is my soap greasy?

The natural olive oil in your soap is responsible for this. Natural soaps should always be able to dry well after use. It’s best to keep the contact surface between the soap and the soap dish as small as possible.

Can I use my natural soap to cleanse my face?

Our hand and shower soaps are mild and you can also use them on your face. The rich ingredients cleanse your face and counteract the loss of oil from your skin. The shower and peeling soaps, on the other hand, are not recommended for facial cleansing.

Do these natural soaps provide better care?

In our opinion: YES. Soaps made using the cold process are much gentler and more nourishing than industrially manufactured soaps. This is because the cold process preserves the nourishing substances such as glycerin. The proportion of unsaponified fat in natural soaps replaces some of the skin fat that is washed off. This means they are moisturizing and care for your skin better.

Bar soap? Why not liquid soap?

For ecological reasons. Bars of soap are very economical to use and therefore much more efficient than the same amount of liquid soap. We can also save a lot on packaging. We can easily put our bars of soap in a box made of recycled paper and don't need any plastic bags or bottles.

Natural soaps? What is the advantage?

Natural soaps are made from natural raw materials. For example, from vegetable oils, animal ingredients and also essential oils. They do not contain any questionable raw materials and are biodegradable. Therefore, natural soaps are preferable for health and ecological reasons.

In the past, of course, all soap was harmless because there were no chemicals. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case today. Chemicals or synthetic substances are used in industrially manufactured products. Parabens as preservatives, surfactants as emulsifiers, microplastics as peelings. Of course, you won't find any of that in our natural soaps.

How are the natural soaps made?

Our natural soaps are made using the traditional cold process. The saponification process takes place at relatively low temperatures of 40 to 70°. The natural soaps then need 4 to 6 weeks to mature.

The big advantage of the cold process is that the nourishing substances such as glycerin remain intact, thus creating a very high-quality natural soap.

Where are the natural soaps made?

Our natural soaps are handmade in our hometown of Frutigen. It is located in the middle of the mountains in the beautiful Bernese Oberland. These works of art are created in collaboration with Heidi Ryter from Seifenstück.ch.
