“Our mission is to reconcile skin with nature, one soap at a time.”

At Midsummer Soap, we believe that well-being begins with simple and authentic gestures. Our Walloon workshop, nestled in the heart of nature, is dedicated to the artisanal crafting of soaps through cold process saponification. This ancestral method preserves the beneficial properties of the vegetable oils, essential oils, clay, and local plants that we carefully select. More than a soap maker, we uphold a philosophy: that of zero waste and deep respect for the environment. Each creation is an invitation to slow down, to take care of oneself and the planet, with natural, pure, and effective cosmetics.

Our Soapery, Our Essence

From our workshop in Wallonia, we create natural soaps using the cold process method, combining artisanal tradition with a commitment to the planet.

Our Story, Roots & Evolution

Artisan soap workshop with dried flowers and soaps on a wooden table

Our adventure began nearly a decade ago, in a small kitchen in Wallonia, with a simple desire: to create pure soaps, good for the skin and respectful of the Earth. Passionate about local plants and the virtues of essential oils, we delved into the ancestral art of cold process soap making. This gentle method preserves the nourishing properties of vegetable oils, offering a finished product of unique softness and effectiveness, far from harsh chemical agents.

Over the years, our workshop has grown, but our philosophy has remained unchanged. Each soap is still handmade, following a zero-waste approach. We carefully select our ingredients: organic oils, clays with recognized benefits, and flowers picked from our countryside. Today, Midsummer Soap embodies more than a soap factory; it is a daily commitment to natural, transparent, and artisanal cosmetics, celebrating simple and sustainable beauty.
