Production of our natural soaps
Our natural soaps are made in Frutigen in the Bernese Oberland. These beautiful soaps are created in collaboration with Heidi Ryter from Seifenstück. Gently produced using the traditional cold process, the natural soaps are moisturizing and nourishing. The soaps contain no preservatives, palm oil or plastic. They are biodegradable. Our natural soaps are packaged in a box made of recycled paper.
Cold process?
Our natural soaps are made using the traditional cold process. The production process involves saponifying fats and oils into soap and glycerin using caustic soda. In the cold process, this process takes place at a low temperature of around 40 to 70°C. The soap mixture is then filled into molds while still warm, where it matures for 4 to 6 weeks to become ready-to-use soap. The big advantage of this production process is that the nourishing substances such as glycerin are retained, creating a very high-quality natural soap.
Benefits of natural soaps
Soap making is an ancient craft. It has been practiced for thousands of years. In the past, all soap was "healthy" 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 peeling agents.
Natural soaps are made from natural raw materials. For example, from vegetable oils, animal ingredients and also essential oils. They are biodegradable and very economical to use. Packaging is also saved, as our natural soaps are dry, they can easily be packed in a box made of recycled paper and do not require plastic bags or bottles. This is why natural soaps are preferable for health and ecological reasons.
Natural soaps produced using the cold process are significantly gentler and more nourishing than industrially produced 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 away. This means they are moisturizing and nourish the skin better.
Do you have a question?
You will find answers here. Is your question not among them? Then write us your question here. We look forward to hearing from you!
I bought another soap and it looks a little different than the last time. Why?
Why is my soap greasy?
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 are the advantages?
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.
