These solid maple wood soap dishes are handcrafted without glue or screws by Stéphane, an artisan in France using his local wood from the forests of the Vosges and Alsace. Its manufacture is the result of a passion for real solid wood, which grew by itself in nature.
Each piece is handmade passing through his hands multiple times with the help of conventional machinery.
Maple wood absorbs water and then rejects it, thus preventing the soap from being left in the humidity. It will not deteriorate over time, but its natural color may change over the years.
For a longer life, it's best to alternate between 2 plates: from time to time use another dish to let the other fully dry.

Main Ingredients Benefits
OLIVE OIL
Olive oil contains skin loving antioxidants making it deeply moisturizing and nourishing to the skin.
Containing polyphenols and oleic acid, olive oil is effective in improving skin tone and texture. In soap making this ingredient makes a very conditioning bar of soap.
SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter in its raw natural form has plenty of skin benefits.
Effective for dry skin:
Shea butter's fatty acid content includes linoleic, oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids making it highly moisturizing. This butter restores the barrier between your skin and the outside environment, keeps the skin hydrate for long and reducing dryness.
Effective for sensitive skins:
Shea butter is known to be perfect for sensitive skin, due to the presence of several fatty acids that do not completely saponify during the soap making process. The soap therefore does not dry your skin after washing it.
Effective for mature skins:
Shea Butter has high levels of vitamins A and E, these vitamins are antioxidants and ensure your skin is nourished, protected and elastic.
COCONUT OIL
