Many generations of Rancé have created fine perfumes and natural body care products in Grasse, and then in Milano, where they moved at the end of the 1800's. Rancé has proudly produced fine beauty soaps since 1795. The family's closely guarded methods and formulas remain unchanged. Today, as in 1795, absolute & NATURAL ingredients, chosen for their freshness and purity are used according to strict traditional Rancé formualtions. Slight innovations over the years have been incorporated for more accurate analysis and controls, however, the hand made/hand wrappped personal attention to each individual bar of sopa is still instituted in the MILANO factory today.
Rancé's triple-milled hand made soaps, ENRICHED with natural extracts and cosmetic oils are pure and neutral, thus suitable for even the most SENSITIVE and delicate skin types. The lengthy maturing period strengthens the properties of these beauty soaps while the rich and soft lather gently caresses and CLEANSES the skin. Rancé soaps are COOKED for a total of six days allowing for three separate sittings where the soap formula is allowed to rest as impurities filter to the bottom and drain. After the third draining period, the soap FORMULA is so pure that no preservative is required or contained in the soap. Fragrance is infused into the formula which will last the entire lifetime of the soap.
Some choose to also use Rancé soaps to scent a room or the LINGERIE drawer.
