Hand made in the Pyrenees, this organic goat’s milk soap is naturally fragranced with verbena (litsea cubeba) and lemon essential oils, and enriched with nourishing shea butter for fresh, gentle cleansing.

The scent is bright and uplifting — clean citrus with a soft, aromatic edge — capturing the classic freshness of verbena without sharpness. Cold-processed in small batches using fresh organic Alpine goat’s milk, this soap creates a creamy lather and leaves skin feeling comfortable, clean, and lightly refreshed.

It’s an easy, everyday soap for those who enjoy a fresh, citrus-led fragrance that still feels calm and skin-friendly.

Why this formula works

Organic olive oil and coconut oil form a mild, reliable soap base, while fresh organic goat’s milk brings natural softness and skin comfort. Shea butter adds nourishment, helping the skin feel supple rather than dry after washing.

Verbena and lemon essential oils bring freshness and clarity to the bar, while the cold-process method preserves naturally occurring glycerin, supporting moisture retention and everyday comfort.

A note on Verbena Oil
Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil (Verbena Essential Oil) is mainly used in this soap for fragrance however it's natural gentle astringent properties help clean pores, and its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action minimizes and heals existing skin outbreak flare-ups. It also can help combat athlete's foot, ringworm, and other fungal infections

Their believe "you can work in a human-sized laboratory, maintain an artisanal identity while manufacturing effective, efficient and state-of-the-art organic cosmetic products."

Marc Guilhem, grandson of Berthe Guilhem, is also a former student of the European Center for Applied Naturopathy

Creamy and durable, our soaps are made by hand
Maison Berthe Guilhem use a cold saponification method; The combination of organic vegetable oils and organic goat's milk in an unaltered state gives them exceptional results. Always cold, the formulation is kneaded before being vigorously pressed and molded. The soaps are hand cut and stamped after several weeks of drying. Their lifespan is extended due to their low percentage of humidity (8 to 10%).

100% natural ingredients
They make all their own infusions, decoctions, macerations and mother tinctures ensuring they make the best use of their natural properties.

What is cold saponification?

Cold saponification is the result of a mixture of soda in water, then later in oil. This manufacturing method is called Cold Saponification because it does not use the heat like traditional Savon de Marseille: The heat is naturally induced by the addition of soda to the water and then to the Oil that raises the temperature of the mixture until it blends. Once this process has occurred the ‘soap’ is left to dry for several weeks before Organic Goats Milk and other ingredients for example Avocado Oil, Shea Butter or Essential Oils are added.

Certified organic natural artisanal know-how

The Berthe Guilhem laboratory is certified to the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (A.N.S.M.). The majority of products are labeled COSMEBIO and certified organic QUALITÉ FRANCE and COSMECERT. At each stage of their manufacture, they are subject to dermatological tests and quality controls proving their safety. These tests, carried out by an independent laboratory, are done on healthy volunteers.
