By Valérie, l'Arbre à Savon, on 26/05/2025
At Wimzzi, we’ve got everything to lather up your wishes: dozens of passionate artisans offer handmade soaps – each one different, all designed to care for your skin and the planet. From Snoap to Les Copines Savonnent,, from C’Bel Organic Skincare and La Maisonette, Diloune to Cap des Tentes,, and of course L’Arbre à Savon… one thing is clear: an artisanal soap is more than hygiene, it’s a meaningful choice.
Today, we’d love to share the story of Valérie, founder of L’Arbre à Savon. She truly represents everything we admire: transparency, passion, quality… and a good dose of lather and a touch of magic.
Here’s why switching from industrial shower gels to artisanal solid soap really matters:
> Better for your skin
Say goodbye to harsh formulas, chemical scents, and pretty bottles full of questionable ingredients. L’Arbre à Savon soaps are zero waste, zero nasties, and 100% joy. Made with quality plant oils, nourishing butters, and sometimes organic essential oils. The result? Soft, calm, happy skin.
> Better for the planet
Each soap is designed to reduce its environmental impact. No useless packaging. No plastic. And the cherry on top? Part of the profits go to Graine de Vie, planting trees in Madagascar. Yes, washing can help change the world.
> Local, beautiful, and Belgian
Valérie doesn’t just make soap. She creates a full beauty routine: solid shampoos, deodorants, make-up removers, toothpaste, lip balms – even solid dish soap! All handmade in Belgium. A true way of life. And true craftsmanship.
“I work with natural, unprocessed ingredients – no palm oil, no synthetic preservatives, and above all, no compromises. The plant oils I use are organic, local and/or fair trade. The clays are natural, and the scents are sometimes blends of organic essential oils, chosen for their skin benefits. I want each soap to care for your skin and respect the planet.”
“Cold process soapmaking is a choice for patience. It avoids heating the oils, so their nourishing properties are preserved. The result? Soaps rich in natural glycerin – perfect for sensitive skin. Each bar rests for 4 to 6 weeks before it leaves the workshop, like a fine wine. I cut every soap by hand and wrap each piece with love. It’s slow, but that’s what makes each one unique.”
We visited her at home, in her calm and authentic universe. We listened to her story, her choices, and her way of creating. And now, we’re sharing it all with you in this Wimzzi video — raw, honest, and without filters.
A real and heartfelt look inside the world of L’Arbre à Savon.
Watch it as often as you like.
I believe we can take care of ourselves without polluting, without harming our bodies, and without overcomplicating things. A soap can be simple, effective, and gentle at the same time. Sometimes I get messages from customers saying their eczema is gone since they started using my soaps. That… that’s the best reward I could ever receive.
It’s gentle, ethical, and smells like something real.
It was born from the passion of a true artisan.
And it’s just waiting to be welcomed into your home.
