Product History

La Savonnerie Royale offers natural soaps inspired by the history of France.

The XIV fragrance is inspired by the Sun King that adored the scent of orange blossom and jasmine. The flowery and intoxicating notes pay homage to the famous king of France, Louis XIV, the emblematic and inseparable figure of the Palace of Versailles.

To obtain a luxurious high-quality product, they have crafted their extra-soft liquid soaps in Haute-Provence, in the renowned artisanal tradition of Marseille soaps. Each bar is formed by pouring the pure vegetable-base into soap moulds featuring an engraved fleur-de-lys.

Organic shea butter

Shea, in the sapotaceae family, comes from trees that grow naturally in the wild. Shea trees have a long-life expectancy and give off their fruit after their first fifteen years. Women in Burkina Faso gather the fresh and ripe fallen fruit between mid-June and mid-September. Once gathered, the almond is removed from the pulp, washed, cooked in boiling water and then sun-dried so as to extract the fat held within the almond, to make the butter. The sun-dried almonds are then crushed with a pestle, roasted and brought to the mill for milling in order to obtain the brown butter paste. Finally, the brown butter paste is kneaded and brewed with water to give it the white colour that we are familiar with.
