PURE CHRISTMAS - A Christmas greeting from me, Sara founder of Västerbottenssoap.
I'm actually a completely hopeless artist who would rather paint than be good and if I have the chance I can lose myself in art books or my projects for hours. I can get caught up in a certain green color not turning out exactly how I want it and not think about much else for days. Fortunately, reality calls me back at regular intervals. Laundry has to be washed, food has to be prepared and then you actually have to work too.
But sometimes it is possible to combine and now I actually got around to making a small Christmas greeting and printing it on a cloth. Simply combine utility with pleasure, cleaning (a bit of my thing) and a bit of painting and then of course the idea came that there should be a clean on a cloth to clean with.
What makes Västerbottens soap different from "regular" soaps that you buy in the grocery store?
Västerbotten soap has similar properties to a linseed oil soap, which is thus an overfatted soap. Other soaps that you buy in e.g. the grocery store is not overfat and therefore not as efficient. Soaps and soaps have varying amounts of excess oils and fats, that is, the part of fat that remains after saponification. Västerbottens soap has a larger surplus and is therefore extra caring and re-greasing.
A story of 100 years of sustainable soap making
Let us tell you how it all comes together
Because the soap is made from recycled raw materials, i.e. is circular, the CO2 emissions for the product are very low. A bottle of soap including production, packaging and transport has a CO2 emission of approx. 237 g. This can be compared to the emissions for producing 1 kg of palm oil, which is approx. 10 kg.
Rapeseed oil is produced as food.
Rapeseed oil is used in restaurants around the country
Västerbottenssåpa sources the oil that is purified in the small factory in Vilhelmina. It is then saponified into soap
The soap is sent to you by mail.
Contains only three ingredients
Our soap contains only water, soap (saponified rapeseed oil) 15-30% and any perfume
