At the end of their respective studies, Nicolas and Boris set themselves the challenge of creating a cold-saponified liquid soap.
Nicolas had just returned from a trip to Costa Rica, where he had discovered saponification.
Back in Belgium, he took over his grandfather’s farm and started growing the high-oleic sunflower we still use today, which is the main ingredient in our recipe.
After several years of development, Boris finalized the recipes.
In 2024, Sylvie and Stéphane took up the torch, Nicolas and Boris being busy with their jobs.
2024 and 2025 were two years for setting up the production tool and developing the customer base.
