What they make

According to their website, MöBiUS Cosmétiques is a small French soap-making business founded in 2015 in Roubaix by a couple, Hubert and Virginie, who moved their workshop to nearby La Bassée (Métropole Européenne de Lille) in 2022. The company hand-makes solid cosmetics using cold saponification: body and facial soaps, a multi-purpose "Savon de Roubaix" bar exfoliated with coffee grounds, solid shampoo bars, solid deodorants (including a regionally themed "Ch'ti" line), a solid makeup-remover bar, and an unglycerinated household soap. All ingredients are vegan and animal-testing-free; plant ingredients are stated as certified organic except for three (carrot oil, frankincense and bay-berry oil) sourced from wild harvests. Some ingredients (shea butter, coconut butter, turmeric, cacao, ylang-ylang, clove, black pepper) are fair-trade labelled, and the company grows some of its own lavender and verbena. Formulations avoid aggressive surfactants, superfluous colorants and synthetic fragrance, and are reviewed by an outside toxicologist. Products sell online and through bio shops, bulk grocers, pharmacies and concept stores across the Hauts-de-France region, alongside distributor, white-label, corporate-gift (CE/CSE) and affiliate programs.
