About Koseki Savon

Kōseki Savon offers handmade cold-saponified soaps and bathroom accessories made in France and inspired by Japan. Kōseki soaps are made from vegetable oil, without animal fat, palm oil or mineral oil, colored with natural products (clays, dried plants, activated carbon...) and scented, or not, with essential oils or fragrances without allergens. Through this brand, we also want to highlight Made in France. Soaps of course, but also with the sale of accessories (soap dish, travel pouch) all made by French artisans. And yes! Who says soaps made in France also means accessories made in France;). We use the traditional method of cold saponification. Once unmolded and cut, soaps will go through a 4-6 week cure before they can be sold (and yes it requires a lot of patience and organization). Using solid soaps also contributes to zero waste: no more shower gels in plastic bottles. Moreover, our products are presented and sent in simple, plastic-free packaging. The name Kōseki is composed of 2 kanji characters. “Ko” () represents the image of “Kosui” which means “aromatic water”, that is to say “perfume”. “Seki” () represents the image of “Hoseki” which means “precious stone”, that is to say “jewelry”. “Kōseki” is thus created by the combination of these two terms and means “The Perfumed Stone”.Read their story
