Article number: 8718657191188 View all of Werfzeep > View more: Soap & Shower gel > palm oil free Our forest soap is an ode to the trees and the forest; to the Wickenburgh forest where we get so many of our ingredients from and to the work of our conifer distiller Henk who makes hydrolate from Scots pine and silver fir for us. In forest soap the best of the Wickenburgh forest comes together, Henk's hydrolates, it is a wonderfully earthy and fresh soap full of pine and fir, with extracts of hazel, ash, blackberry leaf and ginkgo biloba. Werf soaps are wonderfully mild, caring soaps, full of nourishing oils and naturally present glycerine. Plant-based, organic and lovingly made in a traditional way in Utrecht. Werf soap is intended for sensitive skin and therefore suitable for all of us. Due to the mild effect, our soaps are suitable as hand soap, shower soap and even for the face. The shampoo bars are also suitable as hand and shower soap. Plant-based We work with oils of the highest quality: plant-based, organic and food grade - even the essential oils - and therefore still full of beneficial substances. For this we work together with growers who share the same conviction. We also pick 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 irritants We never work with palm oil, animal fats or irritants such as perfume oil, dyes or foam improvers. We make rich soap from rich raw materials, which also feels right at home on the washbasin! Werfzeep is biodegradable and of course not tested on animals. Except for the honey soap and shampoo - both with honey from a local, organic beekeeper - our entire range is vegan.

Palm oil free. Organic & handmade We make all soaps by hand, in a large pan, in our soap studio on the Westerkade in Utrecht. Per batch we make one hundred and fifty bars in one block, which is cut after twenty-four hours. The soap then matures for a few more weeks in our drying cabinets. After this process, a bar of Werfzeep weighs approximately 100 grams. When the soaps are ready to be packed, they are cycled to the social workshop of Wij aan de Werf. Here they are packed by a super team of soap packers, in a wharf cellar on the Oudegracht, near our soap studio. Environmental information about Werfzeep originated in 2009 from Evelien's love for old crafts and natural products. During a trip through Canada that she and Laurens made, she ended up on an idyllic family farm where, among other things, soap was made, with a ladle and a huge pan. The wooden house smelled like a fairytale and on the very first day Evelien helped make soap. To her surprise, this handmade soap, which was in the shower and by the sink, was soft and caring for her skin. Plagued with eczema from an early age, soap had been out of the question for years, but this soap turned out to be a completely different story than everything she had encountered up to that point and which mainly gave her tight skin. Soap made from oils is a completely different product than factory soap made from refined fatty acids, with additives such as foam improvers, synthetic perfumes and preservatives, from which the glycerine has also been skimmed off. This discovery was enough for Evelien to become completely fascinated by soap, the artisanal soap-making, all possible ingredients and the effect on the skin. She started developing her soaps in a historic wharf cellar on the Utrecht Oudegracht. Now, eight years later, she works with a growing team in the beautiful soap studio on the Westerkade.
