Memories of yesteryear and grape seed oil:
Without ingredients from the other side of the world:
Refined organic grape seed oil* (Spain) : Obtained from grape seeds, this light and refined oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (notably linoleic acid) and antioxidants like vitamin E. It penetrates quickly, helps maintain hydration and improves skin elasticity without leaving a greasy film. It also contributes to a soft and silky feel of the soap.
Glycerin** : It helps maintain the skin's natural hydration by helping to retain water in the superficial layers of the epidermis. Gentle and non-greasy — it leaves the skin supple, comfortable, and better protected against tightness and dryness.
Sodium lactate (fermented beet sugar)¹˒² (France) : It helps to maintain skin hydration while improving the texture of the soap. By making it harder and smoother, it contributes to prolonging its lifespan.
Salt² (France) : Fine salt from Camargue, naturally rich in minerals, this salt enhances the texture of the soap, stabilises its lather and extends its lifespan. It gently cleanses the skin and leaves a lasting feeling of freshness and purity.
Iron oxide² (European Union) : Mineral-origin pigments.
Rose Water Fragrance (United Kingdom) : An intoxicating fragrance.
Virgin soybean oil* (Italy) : Cold-pressed from soybean seeds, this oil retains more of its active compounds. Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, it nourishes, protects and contributes to skin elasticity.
Oleic sunflower oil*(France) : Obtained from sunflower varieties naturally rich in oleic acid (omega-9), this oxidation-stable oil is particularly suitable for cold saponification. It nourishes and protects the skin, helps maintain its elasticity, while leaving a soft and non-greasy feel. Rich in vitamin E, it is suitable for sensitive skin and daily use.
Rapeseed wax¹˒² (France) : An ethical alternative to beeswax, rapeseed wax is 100% plant-based and rich in saturated fatty acids. It contributes to the hardness and stability of the soap while softening and smoothing the skin. It forms a light protective film without a greasy effect and gives a nice hold to the soap.
White clay² (Spain): White clay (kaolin) is a 100% natural mineral powder, recognised for its purifying and soothing properties. It gently cleanses the skin, absorbs excess sebum, and enhances the skin — even the most sensitive.
... and of course, some water and lye¹ (France), to transform almost all fats into soap and glycerin** — to preserve the benefits of these ingredients for your skin!

Tradition and innovation: from cost to resource
The production of cold process superfat solid soaps is part of a long tradition.
For a long time, it relied on animal fats to ensure the hardness and longevity of the soap, before shifting towards vegetable fats or the addition of beeswax.
But this evolution is not without cost — particularly environmental.
The oils and vegetable fats providing structure and hardness to the soap (rich in saturated fatty acids) come almost exclusively from the Southern Hemisphere.
Thus, through research and trials, we have managed to formulate a soap vegan and without ingredients from the ends of the earth, thanks to rapeseed wax, rich in saturated fatty acids and certified ECOCERT — a true alternative to beeswax and animal fats.
