LES SAVONS CACHALOT
Anne and her father, Gérard, have been foaming for two years now. These Sperm whales, as they baptized themselves, have given up their respective professional lives - Anne is a graduate of Edhec, a leading business school in Lille, and Gerard was a pastor! - to get your hands dirty. Every day now, this friendly duo, based in Calvisson, is working on a unique meal. By mixing soda and vegetable oils, they shape - always cold - soaps that are moisturizing, fragrance-free, dye-free and for all generations. Very influenced by the slow cosmetics movement - the return to healthy and ethical products - Anne and Gérard use only natural raw materials: olive oil, rapeseed, coconut, castor oil, grape seed oil, to which they add some magical ingredients. Goat's milk, for example, gives soap a creamy foam; oatmeal or coffee beans provide an exfoliating effect; clay purifies problem skin; honey brings softness to the product.... Father and daughter offer "cubic" soaps and others in the form of cupcakes - the famous American pastries topped with a whirlwind of cream. They have also developed a beard soap, sold in a pretty reusable porcelain pot.
