We've been using natural soaps for two months now. It's great that they also work for the body, hands etc. [...] you notice that it's a natural and handmade product, plus the aroma is supernatural.100% recommended. A luxury to have soaps of such high quality and, above all, so natural. In the end, the result reflects the care, process and raw material used for its preparation. I am delighted.I love the soap that they make there. The preparation is handmade, with natural products [...] olive oil that they buy in Andalusia, supporting companies in the area. The quality is excellent.Consumers love our natural, artisan productsKarina Salvachua via GoogleElena Caro via GoogleMaiesca 1 via Google
