FRESSIMOUSS
Read moreIn the Deux-Sèvres region, goats are all the rage. If goat's milk cheeses are a treat for the taste buds, you should know that their milk has other virtues, too, and makes extremely mild soaps. The Fressimouss soap factory was the first in the 79 region to start making them. With their 40% goat's milk content, these soaps are ideal for delicate skin. Solid or liquid, they're made on the spot! The boutique is packed with products, some of them vegan, and features many other quality soap-makers. A must for lovers of local products and slow cosmetics!
SAVONNERIE CORNET
Read moreCleopatra set an example a long time ago: nothing beats donkey milk for beautiful skin! Located in the heart of the Parc du Coq à l'Ane, the Savonnerie Cornet workshop operates in a short circuit: the fresh, raw milk used to make its soaps is harvested directly from the park's donkey teats. The result of cold saponification, Cornet family soaps are delicately scented and suitable for all skin types. Try angelica, the emblematic plant of the Marais Poitevin. Pretty boutique.
