It was almost a
century ago that Virgilio Valobra established in Genoa his plant for the
manufacture of soap. He was determined to adhere strictly to the formulas and
methods of the master soap manufacturers of the 18th century. Those
masters had made the Riviera between Portofino and Marseille a region renowned
for the finest soap.
Fine processing:To preserve
the precious ingredients intact Valobra has always used the ancient and
expensive "boiling for strength" method.
Seasoning: Special attention
is given to seasoning, which takes at least six months. The
soap thus becomes a highly refined and effective agent for gently cleansing the
skin and improving its texture.
The purest ingredients: Over
the decades the old treasured formulas were improved upon. The exclusive use of
pure and selected ingredients results in a substance similar to the natural one
that protects the skin. For super-rich lather virgin coconut oil from an island
in the Indian Ocean is used.
