This summer quartet contains four small care soaps from the Wiener Seifenmanufaktur. They are suitable as a summery fresh smelling gift - even if you want to give yourself.

• The Wiener Seife N°05 Blue Danube refreshes like a jump into the blue Danube. It moisturizes the skin after sports or a hot summer day and and is also suitable for hair washing.

• The jade soap N°28 Jade develops a creamy-soft foam and pampers the skin with high-quality care oils. Its harmonizing scent of exotic grasses invites you to relax.

• The Wiener Seife N°30 Lemon Oil refreshes with the tangy scent of Mediterranean lemons and puts you in a good mood first thing in the morning.

• With its fruity-sweet apricot scent, N°35 Apricot lifts the spirits. Austrian grape seed oil, sunflower oil and lanolin care for and nourish the skin every time you wash your hands or take a shower.

The Wiener Seifenmanufaktur manufactures soaps on a purely vegetable basis using a cold-stirring process. Although the term suggests otherwise, cold stirring does not do entirely without heat. However, it is not supplied from outside, but is generated naturally during the saponification process with lye and oil - in the case of Wiener Seifen, the well-foaming and particularly compatible coconut oil is used. This gentle but labor-intensive process means that up to 15% of the vegetable oils remain unsaponified and can develop their nourishing effect on the skin and hair. The moisturizing glycerine is also retained during cold stirring. The soaps are enriched with natural oils and plantnextracts, most of which come from controlled organic cultivation.

The "Stadlauer cold-stirred coconut oil soaps" from soap maker Friedrich Weiss were once the last handmade soaps in Vienna. And they were popular beyond the city limits. Although Weiss died unexpectedly in 2006, his idealistic legacy lived on. Sonja Baldauf, who had originally planned to sell the Wiener Seifen in Switzerland, did everything she could to keep Weiss's ideas, standards and recipes alive under the name "Wiener Seife". Today, the Wiener Seifenmanufaktur is once again a pure family business, as Baldauf's partner is now solely responsible for production - after completing his late training as a soap maker. Some soap varieties have been taken over from Weiss, many more have been developed in-house and new ones are constantly being added.
