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 handmade Soap bars 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. As we don´t add water into our products which means we try to avoid plastic as much as possible.  

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. That is the background and foundation of our company from the start 2018! After that came Hair care products and later Skin Care products for Facial care. 

Now we have taken a few steps forward in time. In the fall of 2025,
we felt that a change and development of our creation and offering was needed.

Our production of the Skincare series for good facial treatment and our Haircare products that your hair loves are still in our collections, but we have closed the chapter with the production of Soap Bars.

In our approach to developing and renewing ourselves, we launched Workshops and DIY kits 2025. We offer four Workshops - Facial Oil, Lip Butter Balms, Lotion Bars and Shampoo Bars. The DIY kits consists of Lip Butter Balms, Lotion Bars and Shampoo Bars.

This is how it looks at the time of writing (late 2025).

And you, thank you for finding your way here and contributing to a more
natural and better everyday life. And a cleaner world!
