What they make
According to their website, Maison Berthe Guilhem is a family-run, artisanal soap and cosmetics maker in Ariège, in the French Pyrenees, founded in 1956 by Berthe Guilhem and now led by her grandsons Marc and Jean-Luc. The range centers on alpine goat milk: soap bars, 1kg blocks and liquid soap made by cold saponification, hand-cut and stamped after weeks of drying to 8-10% moisture. Formulas exclude palm oil and contain 55-100% organic ingredients, well above the 20% organic-certification threshold; infusions, decoctions and tinctures used in the products are prepared in-house. The catalogue also covers body care (deodorants, creams, oils, shower creams), facial care (creams, serums, hydrolats, oils), solid and liquid shampoos, and home items like candles and herbal teas. The company offers private-label manufacturing for other brands, with lower minimum quantities than most laboratories and support through formulation, sample validation and mandatory cosmetic safety dossiers. Cited certifications include COSMEBIO, Qualité France and Cosmecert organic labels, A.N.S.M. registration, and independent dermatological testing.
