Tiroler Reine – Glacier Milk Soap – 100g
The Tiroler Reine Glacier Milk Soap smells like laundry washed with soft mountain water and stands for tradition. The beautiful, easy-to-hold bar of soap, with its natural scent and creamy lather, is a small moment of luxury in everyday life. The appealing packaging, which fully displays the minimalist design and wonderful colors, makes Tiroler Reine Soap a thoughtful gift.
Glacier Milk – the Scent of the Alps
The sparse Sellrain Valley in the Stubai Alps offered its inhabitants a unique source of livelihood: GLACIER MILK. This crystalline, soft water from the Melach mountain stream was perfectly suited for washing laundry due to its hardness. For over 200 years, women, men, and children of the valley were tasked day in and day out on the riverbanks in their wash huts with processing the linens of bourgeois households from nearby Innsbruck in their ovens and tubs. On sunny summer days, the valley flanks and slopes glowed white with laundry spread out on the grass and hung between trees and bushes. Wind and sun were meant to dry and bleach it, imparting the incomparable scent of the valley. Some of the Sellrain farmers exchanged pure beef tallow for valuable soap at the Walde soap factory. The Tiroler Reine Soap combines the color of the glacier milk, which fills the mountain streams during snow and ice melt, and the scent from grandmother's time.
Tiroler Reine – Bar Soap
Exquisite ingredients, at least 3 milling processes, and extraordinary alpine scents characterize the Tiroler Reine soaps from the Walde company. As the base substance for the soap, Tiroler Reine chose shea butter, as 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 thing about the vegetable fat of shea butter is its excellent moisturizing 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 crumble into small pieces after being used for a while, but remains a smooth, wonderfully fragrant piece of soap with a fine, creamy lather until the very end.
The scents of Tiroler Reine are masterfully composed fragrances inspired by nature.
Tiroler Reine, an idea by Therese Fiegl, is a soap that incorporates the centuries-old knowledge of the Walde soap-making 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 valerian, to primroses as harbingers of spring, the freshness of mountain mint, and elderflower, which conveys protection and security.
