Welcome to the Krug Soaps blog.
Stories from my Berlin studio, new designs and collaborations with other artists—bringing together different perspectives on soap, design and care.
I’ll also be exploring the natural ingredients behind my soaps, why I choose them and what they bring to everyday skin care.
Every ingredient has a story.
Shea butter: the softer side
Berlin winters have character. Your skin might use a different word.
Shea butter is valued in creams and balms because its natural fats help soften skin and reduce moisture loss. Read more about its skin benefits.
It’s also one of the butters I work with at Krug Soaps. There’s as much thought in the ingredients as in the colours.
Cocoa butter: chocolate’s other career
Cocoa butter has an impressive CV: chocolate, skin care and soap.
From the cacao tree, this plant butter helps skin retain moisture when used in creams and balms. Read more about cocoa and shea butter.
At Krug Soaps, I use it in selected soap recipes. A different kind of bar—this one belongs by the sink.
Soap. A fresh perspective.
