The Secret of the suederei Natural Soaps

Hello! Great to have you here on this blog!

Because personal contact with suppliers is very important to me, I regularly visit selected manufacturers to get an on-site impression. This leads to many exciting encounters, and I always learn something new. If you'd like to learn more about the suederei soap manufactory and natural soaps, then take a moment to read my article.

Who and what is suederei?

Claudia is the founder of suederei. She completed training as a herbalist and thus discovered her passion for natural cosmetics. The production of natural soaps, in particular, captivated her. For her partner Roger, who has a background in business administration, it quickly became clear that Claudia's passion as a hobby would become too expensive. "If you have a passion and can create something beautiful with it, then the best thing is to share it with as many people as possible." Thus, suederei was founded in December 2015. Roger initially stayed at his existing job and supported Claudia so she could fully dedicate herself to her soap art. In the meantime, he has also fully joined the business, strengthening the vision to produce and sell the best natural soaps in Switzerland. Good teamwork is a decisive factor for the two of them. Their mutual support, the use of their individual strengths and abilities, and the courage they give each other consistently advance their project. More flowery

What is natural soap?

During my visit, Roger took a lot of time to answer my questions. I was particularly interested in what defines natural soap and how it differs from regular soap. I learned that the ingredients in natural soap are not boiled above 40 degrees Celsius. This preserves the many nourishing ingredients. Especially the high content of natural glycerin, which is produced during the saponification process of vegetable fats and oils, makes the difference from conventional soap. Glycerin is a beneficial moisturizer for the skin. This valuable glycerin is often skimmed off in industrial soap production to refine high-end cosmetic products. In addition, conventional soaps often contain petroleum-based surfactants, preservatives, or synthetic fragrances and colorants. Natural soap thus offers us the opportunity to care for our skin in a healthy way and to nourish it with rich care substances of natural origin.

The secret of suederei natural soap

After an extensive conversation with Roger, we head to Claudia in the most important rooms of the suederei, where she creates, boils, and stores her soaps. Here, you meet a person who is truly in her element. Claudia tells me more about herself and her work:

"I am a herbalist who loves working with raw materials from nature. Soap making is ancient and an important part of my life. It requires a lot of peace and concentration. When I make soap, it's 'my moment.' I am 100% present and only make soap. Sometimes I get goosebumps. To avoid distractions, I always work alone when boiling. In the production process, I am connected to the soap. I wish that people would always feel this connection when they experience their own shower moment with the soap and reconnect with themselves and nature."

As I listen to Claudia, a pleasant shiver runs through my body. Feeling her passion for natural soaps so intimately touched me deeply. Now I understand her company motto even better: "suederei - for you and your nature."

The Production

For the suederei soaps, only the highest quality and purest natural ingredients are used. Another special feature of the soaps is the unique manufacturing process. The exact recipe, of course, remains Claudia's secret. However, she reveals to me that she pours the multi-colored soaps in an elaborate process, using self-developed molds. This creates unique patterns and a fantastic play of colors in each piece of soap. Many have already discovered ghosts, fairies, elves, and other creatures in a suederei soap.

The Path to Self-Employment

Claudia also shares with me the most important lesson from her journey with the suederei so far: "If you have an idea that won't let go of you, then find the courage to start something of your own, even if that means letting go of a great job and the associated security. Even if the path is arduous, it's worth continuing. Today, without my business, something important would be missing from my life." From my own experience with the Wert&Voll Online Shop, I can very well relate to what she is talking about and can only recommend that you take her words to heart!

My conclusion

Natural soaps from the suederei are truly unique and sustainable soaps, made and distributed by two wonderful people. For the future, Claudia and Roger wish for a constant natural growth of suederei. I am sure that this will succeed, as more and more people are discovering the benefits of natural soaps and switching to this plastic-free and sustainable alternative. I myself love this simplicity in the shower. One bar for the body, one for the hair. An incredible yet subtle scent that surrounds me and a moment just for myself. Simply priceless!
