Carrière Frères Unveils the Solid Soaps Collection: A Botanical Indulgence for Your Skin

01 Nov 2024

Carrière Frères, renowned for its expertise in the botanical realm, has introduced an exquisite new line of body care products: the Solid Soaps Collection. This debut collection features a quartet of nurturing scented care soaps, each thoughtfully crafted to embody the essence of the plant world. With soft hues and minimalist design, these organic soap bars not only stand out for their aesthetic appeal but also for their exceptional moisturizing properties and natural formulation.

The collection comprises four distinct fragrances—Bosci, Florea, Silvea, and Apotheca—each reflecting a unique olfactory profile that resonates with the changing seasons. Unlike the single-note fragrances found in Carrière Frères’ candles, these soaps present a harmonious blend of scents, creating a seasonal bouquet that invites users to indulge in a sensory experience. The names themselves evoke a sense of nature's diversity, from the woody freshness of Bosci to the floral elegance of Florea.

At the heart of this collection lies a unique formula developed specifically for Carrière Frères, ensuring the highest quality soaps. This formula is refreshingly simple, consisting of just four ingredients: a blend of certified organic plant oils and butters; a fragrance crafted in Grasse by Robertet, a leader in natural perfumes; a natural colorant such as pink clay or turmeric; and water. The organic oils and butters—French sunflower and safflower oils, Philippine coconut oil, and shea butter from Burkina Faso—are sourced transparently, honoring local communities and environments.

Handcrafted by Oppidum, a small soap manufacturer nestled in an old farmhouse near Albi, France, these soaps are made using traditional cold saponification methods. This artisanal process preserves the integrity of the ingredients while enhancing their nourishing properties. Each soap undergoes a meticulous curing period of over a month before it is cut and packaged, resulting in a product rich in vegetable glycerin that elevates its moisturizing benefits.

The Solid Soaps Collection is not only eco-conscious but also embodies Carrière Frères’ commitment to natural skincare. With no palm oil or derivatives, silicones, aluminum, or parabens included in the formulation, these soaps cater to all skin types. The range has earned both Cosmos Organic and Ecocert certifications, affirming its dedication to quality and sustainability.

Each 200g soap bar is elegantly designed with the Carrière Frères 1884 logo engraved on two sides. The polished surfaces and hand-beveled finishes reflect an artisanal touch that complements its botanical inspiration. Packaged in minimalist FSC cardboard with no labels or excessive packaging, this collection underscores Carrière Frères’ commitment to reducing waste while delivering luxurious skincare.

With fragrances that transport you to lush landscapes and serene gardens, the Solid Soaps Collection by Carrière Frères invites you to embrace nature’s beauty while indulging your senses. Experience the nurturing qualities of these botanical soaps and elevate your daily skincare routine with a touch of elegance.
