Alpine Spikenard – the scent of the Alps
When the alpine slopes glow purple-red in May and June, extending above the treeline, the flowering season of the ALPENROSE has begun or is nearing its peak. Various, sometimes contradictory, properties have been attributed to the rhododendron, also known as alpine rose, thunder rose, or alpine azalea, by folklore: Superstitious mountain hikers would throw their rhododendron bouquets far away when a thunderstorm approached, fearing being struck by lightning. North Tyrolean farmers, however, would nail rhododendrons to the ridge beams of their farms to protect them from "thunder and lightning." In the floral language of Romanticism, it is the symbol of lovers. If a secret admirer brought his beloved an alpine rose, it meant "When will we meet again?" and was meant to promise future happiness. The delicate and sweet scent of the soap is meant to evoke this incomparable feeling of first love.
Tiroler Reine – Soap Bar
Exquisite ingredients, at least 3 milling processes, and extraordinary alpine fragrances characterize the Tiroler Reine soaps from the Walde company. Tiroler Reine chose shea butter as the base substance for the soap because there is no local plant-based soap base that comes close to its quality. The shea butter from the nuts of the shea tree comes from Burkina Faso in West Africa. The nuts are collected as part of a women's project founded in 2009 called ABPJF (Association Burkinabé pour la Promotion de la Jeune Fille).
The special feature of the plant-based fat in shea butter is its excellent re-fattening properties when using the soap. Every bar of Tiroler Reine soap is 100 percent biodegradable and completely disappears even in the bathroom: Thanks to its low water and air content, the soap does not break into small pieces when it has been used for a while, but remains a smooth, wonderfully scented piece of soap with a fine, creamy lather until the very end.
The fragrances of Tiroler Reine are masterfully composed scents, inspired by nature.
Tiroler Reine, an idea by Therese Fiegl, is a soap that incorporates the centuries-old knowledge of the Walde soap-maker family to create distinctive soaps. Each soap tells its own story, from the Sellrain washerwomen and glacier milk, to the alpine rose and love, the forget-me-not, the resilience of the birch, the alpine spikenard, to primroses as harbingers of spring, the freshness of mountain mint, and elderflower, which conveys protection and security.
