Luso Soap – a tribute to Portugal

This is my last semester soap. I will be absent for a long time, a long journey! I leave here my thanks to this incredible people of Portugal. Thank you for being part of the Saboaria group.

This grid soap is made from mode shown in the figure below.

For the low amount, the cleaning action is very smooth emollient keeping this kind of shampoo.
