Forget-me-not – the scent of the Alps
Perhaps it is the small yellow stars amidst the intense blue of the petals, like stars in the sky, that touch us in a special way: from Europe to China to Japan, this flower is named the same everywhere: forget-me-not, ne m’oubliez pas, no-meolvides, forglan-mig-ikke, Wu Wang Cao, and VERGISSMEINNICHT. It is the symbol of tender remembrance, parting in love, friendship, and above all, fidelity. Many legends and poems are woven around this little flower: in "Blümlein Wunderschön," Goethe tells of a count, lonely in a dungeon, who had only one thought: that his beloved might not forget him. From the tower window, he chose the forget-me-not, the sight of which was meant to promise his beloved's faithfulness. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Ophelia says: "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance; pray, love, remember!" The flower and root were once used in love spells. For the Tiroler Reine Forget-me-not soap, the scent and color of these delicate blossoms have been recreated – like the image of a flower meadow where the little blue flower catches the eye.
Tiroler Reine – Bar of soap
Exquisite ingredients, at least 3 milling processes, and exceptional alpine scents distinguish 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 vegetable soap base that comes close to this 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).
What is special about the vegetable fat of shea butter is its high superfatting level when using the soap. Every bar of Tiroler Reine soap disappears completely in the bathroom: thanks to the low water and air content, the soap does not crumble into small pieces when used for a long time, but remains a smooth, wonderfully fragrant bar of soap with a fine, creamy lather until the very end.
The scents of the Tiroler Reine soaps are expertly 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, the cowslip as a harbinger of spring, the freshness of mountain mint, and elderberry, which conveys protection and comfort.
