La Savonnerie De Nyons

About

La Savonnerie De Nyons is a craft company manufacturing soaps and cosmetics. Located in Nyons, in the heart of the Drôme Provençale, the company has a long tradition of soap making. Thanks to some 200,000 olive trees, Nyons has always produced the best quality olive oil and soaps. Indeed, it is in Nyons that the remains of the oldest soap factory in France dating back to 1591 were discovered! Some 300 years later, Erwan ALLEE decided to revive the passion of traditional soap making through la Savonnerie de Nyons. La Savonnerie de Nyons is very proud of the quality of the ingredients used and is passionate about traditional recipes. The company offers a large range of high quality products such as: - Traditional authentic natural soaps: organic Shea butter, Nyons AOC olive oil. - Speciality soaps: the DIY enthusiast soap, the gardener’s soap, the cook’s soap... - Two organic ranges of products using Donkey Milk and Argan oil. Mindful of its reputation, la Savonnerie de Nyons is very keen on using good quality products and is proud to be able to produce products which are “Made in France”. In addition, the company has commissioned an artist from Nyons, to design the soap boxes using nostalgic scenes from life in Paris and in Provence in the 1930s.
