Solid soaps & shampoos

Did you know that you can do something for the environment just by taking a shower?

Switch to solid soap and create a revolution in your bathroom!

In the French-speaking part of Switzerland, we’re fortunate to have wonderful artisans who make high-quality solid soaps and shampoos.

Ultra-nourishing, adapted to every type of skin or hair, they contain only the best: plant oils & butters, fruit essences, essential oils, all natural ingredients, often of organic origin, and of course biodegradable, gentle for the skin and the planet.

It takes a little getting used to at first, and the scalp will have to get used to the “natural” again.

That’s because these solid bars of soap contain no silicones, irritating detergents, endocrine disruptors, allergenic substances or petroleum-derived substances, all of which are found in industrial products that are supposedly gentle on the skin!

Say goodbye to this chemical cocktail and purify your skin and scalp, while sparing the waters with natural, biodegradable ingredients.

Another major advantage: your bathroom becomes minimalist and the clutter that characterizes bathtub rims disappears! No more packaging, no more waste.
In Switzerland, millions of plastic bottles would be saved every year if everyone switched to solid soap!

So we place our soap on a dish, a wooden soap dish or a loofah and leave it to dry thoroughly so that it lasts longer. It’s economical, space-saving and effective: very often, the same soap can be used for the body, hair or face, and often for the whole family!

When traveling, simply slip it into a washcloth, waterproof pouch or small box and off you go!

For our boutique at Les Paillettes Verteswe’ve opted for a lovely selection made with a lot of love and know-how:

• La Petite Fabrique, with its gourmet soap made with Gruyère double cream and facial bar with soft pink clay.
• Groen Labo and its extra-nourishing, deliciously foaming shower bars
• Blue Beauty‘s invigorating coffee scrub bar
• Basic plant shampoos, made by l’extraordinaire Alice (formerly ivi)

These wonderful artisan soap factories are just a stone’s throw away! Favoring local artisans, who have a high production ethic, is also a conscious act of commitment to improving our ecological footprint.
