About us

How nice that you have found us here!

We live and have our business at the sunny coast of Algarve in Portugal.

But first, why did we start making hand made soaps, or cold-processed
soaps as they are also called?

Well, like so many others we become tired of all these plastic packaging
that we were dragging home, and which unfortunately is just too
rarely sorted properly.

It is also really anoying when you buy a skin care product such
as soap and try to read on the label what it contains and struggle to
understand what it means! Often there are those kind of chemicals
you do not want to lubricate your body with. We lack the simplicity
and ability to understand what you as a consumer are buying.

Then we have the privilege of living in a climate where fantastic
raw materials grow around the knot. We are talking above all
about the wonderful olive oil that are produced locally! This liquid
gold of which you can do so much. But one day we thought that
"it must be possible to make even more of this olive oil than just
eating it and cooking with it!".

So we thought, can we combine our eagerness to reduce plastic
packaging with an easily understandable natural content of skin care
products with olive oil? YES!! The answer was real soap bars.
Soap made in the traditional way, with organic ingredients and
without plastic packaging.

Said and done. Here we are!

Only handmade soaps from organic and vegetable oils and fats. And locally produced and natural as ever. We now also make shampoo and conditioner bars, skin products and scented candles and more.

Again, thank You for finding us and contributing to a more natural
and plastic-free everyday life. And a cleaner world!

 
Welcome!
