What is a “DuschMödeli” ?

It’s a highly nourishing showering soap, made in small batches by hand in a small workshop in the Kanton of Aargau (Switzerland).

Why buy a “DuschMödeli” ?

It produces minimally harming residues in waste water (contrary to industrial detergents).
It’s not only good for your skin but also friendly to the environment.
And it’s made out of really good raw materials.
It cleans and nourishes the skin in one go.
And causes 0% plactic waste.

Last but not least: you simply use less cleaning agent because it’s a hard bar of soap (70% of liquid detergents consist of water…).

What is the “DuschMödeli” made of ?

Organic vegetable oils  (mostly olive oil from southern Italy) and lye.
Plus organic natural essential oils and colored clays.

Made by hand.

In order to preserve the natural essential oils (which tend to be highly volatile) a duschmödeli is made by hand with the traditional hot soap making process.

PolarLicht (polar lights)

This is my third recipe for a facial balm completely free of any synthetic ingredient.

Green is the color of this highly nourishing balm.
Green as the ionizing polar lights in the arctic sky.
Green as the lichen which defy almost any environment and develop such a fascinating color.

This facial balm is defined by the raw, dark green avocado oil; complemented by other plant oils which soften, nurture and protect sensitive, mature and dry skin.
The plant wax and the tiny amount of galipot not only help the skin to retain moisture but boosts the regenerating effect of this care recipe.

I’m intrigued by extra terrestrial phenomena; therefore you’ll find a couple of odd names amongst my products…

This Swiss foundation’s goal is to make old vegetables, plants and animal breeds known again. Not so long ago we had a stunning variety of apples, plums, carrots, salads, goats, cows, chickens etc.
In today’s world everything is subjected to the dictates of economics.
Best transportable ?
Max profit with minimal input ?
Consider only the most efficient animal or vegetable ?

BUT biodiversity is important.

Cause it cushions risks.
If one plant results in a lean crop, you may have another species that produces a good crop.
If one breed of animal suffers from a certain disease, you have another type that doesn’t experience the same sickness.
Many plants and animals have adapted over hundreds of years by nature, farmers, monasteries to the surrounding environment. This resulted in an incredible variety of plants and animal breeds.
In the last hundred years this diversity has shrunk to a frighteningly small number.
And this fact could be fatal for us. One day.

So it’s important to counteract.

It’s fortunate that ProSpecieRara is gaining in popularity.
In order to make the valuable work of this foundation tangible, good products with raw materials from animals and plants worth preserving are highly important.

Like the duschmödeli “CapraGrigia”. Or the “DunkleBiene”. Or “Vom Acker”.
