We develop and manufacture all our products ourselves.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
FILL
Put the mixing pebble in the bottle, and fill with warm water up to the indicated line
DROP
Drop the entire refill into the bottle (incl. the sachet), then screw the pump on tightly
SHAKE
Shake like a cocktail for 1 min, then leave overnight if you can, if not you can already use it after 15 min
PUMP
Voilà! It can take up to 48 hours for your soap to fully mix, don't worry if it seems a little watery initially
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
My new favourite hand soap. Fun product that reminds you of your time in the science lab in school!
It works great and smells great! Will totally keep using it.
I am loving my hand wash! It showed up just before one of my flare ups and it was the only soap that was fragrance free for me to use. I have been taking it with me everywhere. Thank you for an amazing product, it has been my life saver.
Brilliant scent, feels great on my skin, and always enjoyable to use.
Just wanted to let you know how much we love our handwash! We’re getting compliments from all our guests and I’m just about to head to your website to see what else I can get for our household!
Un pas de plus dans la réduction de nos déchets. Très belle innovation. En plus : on adore la texture et l’odeur.
