Werfzeep - botanical gardens - cedar laurel

Item number: 8718657192307 View all from Werfzeep > View more: Soap & Shower Gel > Werfzeep collaborates with the Utrecht Botanical Gardens. A cross-pollination! A wealth of special plants grows in the Botanical Gardens, and Werfzeep makes special soaps from them. This third edition is made with cedar of Lebanon and bay leaf harvested in the Botanical Gardens. We distilled the twigs and needles of the cedar of Lebanon and bay leaf into hydrosol and essential oil. It has become a lovely sweet-spicy soap. In this blog, you can find the process of harvesting, distilling, and soap-making. Organic & handmade - vegan - free from palm oil, plastics or chemical agents such as SLS - cruelty-free. Plants We work with oils of the highest quality: plant-based, organic, and food-grade – including essential oils – and therefore packed with beneficial ingredients. To achieve this, we work with growers who share our beliefs. We also collect some of the plants in our beloved Wickenburgh Forest. Here we maintain our soap herb garden and harvest various ingredients that have been growing here for centuries. Free from palm oil and irritating substances We do not use palm oil, animal fats, or irritating substances such as perfume oil, dyes, or foam boosters. We use rich ingredients to produce a rich soap that also feels good on the sink!

Environmental information about Organic & handmade In our soap factory on the Westerkade in Utrecht, we make all our soaps by hand in a large pan. We produce 150 pieces per batch in a block that is cut after 24 hours. The soap then ripens for several weeks in our drying cabinets. After this process, a bar of Werfzeep weighs approximately 100 grams. When the soaps are ready to be packaged, they are transported by bicycle to the social workplace in Wij aan de Werf. Here, a great team of soap packers packages them in a cellar on the Oudegracht near our soap studio.
