Made at home, for the people I love
SBN Essentials is a small, handmade soap business based in Oslo. It started with one simple wish: skin that feels comfortable.
A mother's search for gentle soap
I have always had sensitive skin. When my children were born, they inherited it: the itchiness, the dryness, the skin that reacts so easily.
I wanted to know exactly what we were putting on our skin. So I started making soap at home, for them, with simple natural ingredients.
Their skin loves it.
Today I make the same gentle soaps for anyone who wants to know what goes on their skin, and for everyone whose skin needs a little extra care. And because every skin is different, you can craft your own.
