Oprah's Favorite Things 2007 - Claus Porto Soaps

Claus Porto Soaps - as seen on Oprah's Favorite Things, December 2007.

Claus Porto Soaps, Body Wash, Body Cream and Candles are a longtime favorite of mine, both at Melange apothecary and our Brentwood stores years ago.

Founded in Portugal in 1887, Claus Porto manufacturers some of the world's most beautiful and luxurious personal care items. Their 12.34 ounce (350 gram) soap is quite large by soap standards and will last a good long while with proper care.

What makes Claus Porto soaps so wonderful are the way they are made. They are natural and contain pure Coconut Oil and Shea Butter. Claus Porto continues to employ the time-honored tradition of milling soap, mixing a full seven times for a dense, rich soap that is fragrant to the last use -- no splitting or cracking. All soaps are air-dried on racks -- no machines. Fragrances originate from the South of France, home of the world's finest fragrances.

A wonderful treat for yourself; a very thoughtful and stylish gift. Visit our home page for more information on the many fragrances of Claus Porto soaps, body wash, body cream and candles we carry, any of which can be gift-boxed and shipped.
