About Ærø Soap Co.

We wanted to create organic soap that captures the freshness of the sea and the natural richness of Ærø. It was nature and the fresh sea that drew us to Ærø – and it was also what inspired us to enter soap making, a craft that is so sensory and close to nature.

We had the opportunity to take over the small Ærø-based company Sæberiet, which since 1999 has produced natural, organic soap and salt products made with ingredients from pure nature. After all, what could be more natural, when you love the scents of summer, than to create something that captures them?

When Ærø Soap Co. was established, it wasn’t out of the blue – but from a sober desire to create an Ærø product that would stand out among the many skincare and soap products on the domestic and international market.

We therefore decided to create a soap based on classic soap-making craftsmanship; that is, using the hot process technique, which is the original soap-making method. Hot process soap is a somewhat different product than the more common cold process soaps that dominate the market today.
