About This Brand - Claus Porto

The oldest and most prestigious soap making factory in Porto, Portugal, Claus Porto was founded in 1887 by two world renowned chemists: Ferdinand Claus and Georges Schwedder. Together they created the base for what was to become one of the most important soap making factories ever.

Famous fragrance and fashion houses in France, England and Spain came to Porto to have their soaps made by Claus Porto. The factory today is still family owned and run by the great grandson of Achilles de Brito. At this 117 year old company, the family continues with the great soap making traditions that were a matter of honor for the original founders.

All of the Claus Porto soaps are naturally air - dried on racks for two to three weeks, ensuring an even, consistent bar. These luxurious and creamy bars are made with coconut oil and enriched with 2% shea butter to moisturize, protect, and replenish the skin's natural protein complexes. The highest quality fragrances from the south of France are used to create the exotic, lingering scents that have made these Claus Porto soaps so famous.

The final soap product, and more importantly the base ingredients are never tested on animals. As the Claus Porto soap is completely natural and 100% bio-degradable, it is environmentally friendly.
