I love and recommend for a nice Christmas present this mega awesome,rüüdig schööööön healthy natural handmade organic soap from little Swiss village,("The most charming place" Mark Twain 1897) called Weggis http://www.weggis.net/ http://rigiseifen.ch/



Tschüßly und Frohe Wehnachten zämeee vo de Dale !!

How is organic soap different to normal soap? How is it made please?

Sali Sbrinz,
Please check their web site at http://rigiseifen.ch/



Ciao,ciao from 6010 Kriens.

It is made from the rendered corpses of criminal asylum seekers.

No, you will have to tell me, the website is passive.

Not only that, it seems to be in German and nothing happens when you click on anything.

soaps are made by saponification .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saponification

get a bucket of fat or oil and get it to the right temp and put in lye, (red devil) is what my sisters use... then it turns to a good glycerin packed soap leaving the skin nice and smooth.
Organic soap, used organic fats or oils. What are Organic fats and oils... let's see what The Google tells us. ..... http://www.fromnaturewithlove.com/so...ngredients.asp

"Organic essential oils are obtained from plants that have not been chemically treated, and the soil is usually certified to be chemical free for a certain number of years. Many oils are organic by nature (conifer oils for instance), however, they may not be backed by certification. This does not mean the oil is poor quality. It simply means that the producer did not have the oil certified as organic."

Thank you, it sounds really environmentally friendly.

Instead of using a dead cow, you grind up vegetation to release the oils then bring it round the world, so you can make soap and wash your hands.

No red devil here. You need to ask at the "drogerie"

You can have organic soap made with tallow. Why not? You just need some bio dead cows.

yeah, I've tried their experiments with animal fat... it smells like rancid oil, I like Olive, Soy bean or some other plant fat better.

I know you can't get things in Switzerland... that's why I said lye and then just mentioned Red Devil so it can trigger the memories of those who lived in the US

Sali,Grüezi mitenand,

Entschuldigen & sorry,(and one of the best reasons),
their soaps are sooo in demand as it is printed on the box and states,there is no animal fats and oils are used;manufactured in their soap.




Fröhlichi Wiehnacht,happy holidays zämee !

Tschüß,Ciao ciao.

Fresh commercially/professionally rendered tallow shouldn't smell. If it smells like rancid oil, it is rancid oil.

I just meant you can't get lye at the supermarket. You can get it. Just have to find a drogerie.

None of the links is working.

They work, technically

The links in the OP are not accurate ( one leads to FB ).

The website itself is pretty much static ( only an image and email link works - perhaps work in progress or my browser has an issue ).

Here are the corrected URLs:

Weggis also makes Starbucks coffee machines.

And celebrates Swiss music once a year.

And has a Rose Queen.

And has the quickest way to get up to Rigi Kaltbad.

It used to have a "Dancing" but nobody ever visited it.

Wow! You learn something new every day. You (we, someone?) should start "My town has... " or "This Swiss town has.... "

That is a very good idea, please go ahead... "In my town, postcode 1234, we make xyz"

I knew someone was going to say that!
Nothing happens in my post code....

PS, I did mean to say, it doesn't have to be your own town. Some interesting fact about a town like Oly wrote.

I also found this info and it is not helpful. I wanted to know what ingredients are in the soap, not info about the company or about the town.

Ganz genau "olygirl".

The company that makes machines for Starbucks are called THERMOPLAN AG and dear good friends;and sadly have had a hiring freeze for some time.
THERMOPLAN AG

You also forgot to mention that Wäggis,(as we all say),is very famous for their cute little song every Swiss person is raised up;and knows by heart:



Tschüßly zämeee & Happy blessed Holidays vo de Dale.
