Eco-Centre De Jouan D’Amans

What they make

According to their website, this business (trading as Bulles de R'Êveil, now also presented under the name Amans) is a small soap-making workshop based in Layrac, in the Lot-et-Garonne department of France. It handcrafts natural soaps and soap-shampoos by cold saponification, using organic vegetable oils and butters such as hemp, plum and shea, together with natural clays including pink clay, blue clay, ghassoul and rassal. The range also includes household cleaning soaps, gift sets, guest soaps and accessories, and the company states a cosmetics line is coming soon. Products are certified under the Nature & Progrès label, and the site commits to recyclable, recycled, compostable and reusable packaging. Beyond retail, the company runs small-group workshops, held on request with a minimum of two participants, teaching cold-process soap making, natural household products, or first cosmetics. The workshop operates within a wider site described as combining a soap-making workshop, an educational farm and a countryside bistro. Products are sold through the company's own shop and through regional retail partners, including outlets in Agen and Montauban.
