DISCOVER ARTISANAL SOAP MAKING: FAMILY KNOW-HOW

The story of a family business dedicated to natural cosmetics

Savonnerie Artisanale de l'île de Ré is a company that has managed to preserve family values while looking to the future. Located in an idyllic setting on the Île de Ré, this soap factory showcases artisanal methods for the manufacture of its cosmetic products, including its donkey and goat milk soaps. This unique know-how is passed down from generation to generation, guaranteeing exceptional quality and authenticity in each product.

The family that runs this soap factory is made up of experts in different fields, thus ensuring efficient management and special attention at every stage of production. From the development of formulas to marketing, everything is carefully orchestrated to offer customers natural products that are respectful of the environment and the skin.

A range of natural products for all skin types

The Savonnerie Artisanale de l'île de Ré stands out for the variety of its range, suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive. Among the flagship products, we find solid and liquid soaps made from donkey and goat milk, known for their moisturizing and soothing properties. Enriched with vegetable oils such as olive oil, sweet almond oil or shea butter, these soaps are designed to gently nourish and protect the skin.

The ingredients used are carefully selected, from organic and local farming. This approach is part of a total respect for the environment, with manufacturing without the addition of chemical preservatives or palm oil. Each soap is the result of a cold saponification process, which preserves all the virtues of the ingredients used, thus guaranteeing a high-quality final product, rich in vegetable glycerin.

A commitment to the environment and organic products

One of the pillars of Savonnerie Artisanale de l'île de Ré is its commitment to the environment. In addition to favoring organic and local raw materials, the company adopts sustainable practices at every stage of manufacturing. The donkeys and goats whose milk is used in the production of soaps are raised outdoors, in optimal conditions, thus guaranteeing fresh and quality milk. This ethical approach is also reflected in the manufacturing processes, which minimize the environmental impact.

The soap workshop, located in the Loix craft zone, is open to visitors. This space allows you to discover the behind the scenes of the manufacture of artisanal soaps and to understand the care taken with each detail. Visitors can see with their own eyes how each soap is shaped with passion and rigor, according to ancestral methods.

Ecological and sustainable accessories

In addition to its range of soaps and cosmetic products, Savonnerie Artisanale de l'île de Ré offers accessories in line with its ecological values. Among them, the wooden or ceramic soap dishes, manufactured locally, allow optimal drying of soaps while bringing an aesthetic touch to the bathroom. These accessories, designed to last, are like the products offered by the soap factory: functional, elegant and environmentally friendly.

The brand's natural toothbrushes and sponges complete this approach. Made from sustainable materials such as bamboo, these brushes are ideal for daily use, without compromising on quality or ethics. The sponges, for their part, are responsibly harvested, guaranteeing gentle and effective cleansing of the skin, in perfect harmony with the artisanal soaps.

A unique experience in the shops of the Isle of Ré

The Savonnerie Artisanale de l'île de Ré is not limited to online sales. It has several shops on the island, including one located in Loix, in the heart of the craft village, and another in Saint-Martin-de-Ré. These sales areas are much more than just stores: they invite you to discover the unique scents and textures that characterize the soap factory's products. Each visit is an immersion in a world where naturalness and authenticity reign supreme.

The shops are open all year round and regularly offer gift boxes, perfect for giving a souvenir of the Île de Ré to a loved one. These boxes, made up of solid and liquid soaps, moisturizing creams and ecological accessories, are available in different compositions, to satisfy all tastes and needs.
