    Taking care of yourself, your body and your health. And doing it yourself to reduce waste. That's how Marie-Thérèse sees her business. Natural. The in-house laboratory is housed in an outbuilding of the family farmhouse in the small village of Saint-Brieuc-des-Iffs. The process is traditional. Each soap is made entirely by hand using cold saponification. This technique preserves all the properties of the raw material. No liquids: Savon Breton produces only solid soaps and shampoos. Each with its own name and environmentally-friendly recipe. Marie-Thérèse will reveal their secrets to you. She'll also show you how to make a deodorant, lip balm or day cream - DIY and BZH at the same time.
