Marie Antoinette In Her Bath? The French Tradition Of Fine Soaps
The French have a long, proud tradition of soap making, and the artisans of L'epi de Provence take that history and tradition seriously.
They are the artisans of our lush, triple milled French soaps, aromatic and emollient bath and shower gels, and rich, velvety hand creams. And all of these products are 100% vegetable based (with no animal testing) using only the highest quality natural ingredients, and infused with the finest shea butter.
And why is shea butter so important? Shea butter is considered the "magic ingredient" in the rarefied world of luxury bath and beauty products. It is a natural fat extracted from the fruit of the shea tree. And according to the American Shea Butter Institute, not only is shea butter a superior moisturizer that contains remarkable healing properties; but it also contains anti-inflammatory agents, along with a minor sunscreen agent.
Furthermore, in the Institute's clinical studies, using shea butter on the skin was shown to transform the skin in as little as four to six weeks. Dry, flaky skin was transformed into softer, smoother, younger-looking skin. And according to some researchers, shea butter can actually help stimulate collagen production.
The infusion of the superior shea butter, puts the bath products in a class by themselves. But the L'epi de Provence artisans take it a step further. They partner with the finest perfumers of Grasse, France (in the very heart of France's renowned perfume region), and work with the perfumers to design each unique fragrance. And the lovely outcome to this partnership is amazing bath products that will delight all of the senses.
The French soap makers work in the rich tradition of the artisans that came before them; and we are very pleased to be able to offer you L'epi de Provence bath products - rich, yet affordable luxuries.
