Description

Les Belles de Savon is an old-fashioned cold soap factory, inspired by the Belle Époque and hydrotherapy.
Our range is made by hand and with love in our workshop, from natural ingredients selected with care, our soaps are naturally rich in glycerin and enriched with milk for an incomparable creaminess.
Saponified on site and scented exclusively with essential oils, without palm oil or industrial base, they are ecological and biodegradable and thus protect your skin and our beautiful nature.
The milks come from local AB farms and bio farms for plant origin, such as almonds. We have a specific range without perfume for very fragile or problematic skin, vegan soaps, balms and natural cosmetics, perfumes and toilet waters.
Le Comptoir à Savons, our soap shop space, welcomes you all year round for your shopping, gifts and favorites. Open the first 3 Saturdays before Christmas, Thursday and Friday afternoons, from 2 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

Thèmes

• Sustainable tourism

  Whenever possible, the soap factory always favors short circuits for supplies and recyclable or zero waste options.
  It works hand in hand with local producers and highlights local creators through partnerships or shaping work.
  Our activity has a low environmental impact and generates very little waste thanks to an ancestral manufacturing method based on natural ingredients.
  The premises and equipment are cleaned with labeled products, the waste is evacuated to the recycling center, the water is filtered and osmosis.

  I imagine recipes related to my environment and the spa heritage to make you relive the charms of the Belle Epoque through my range of natural soaps and cosmetics.
  Nature for only adornment
