Verified customer feedback:

"After only a week of use, my skin feels different, much smoother. It seems really good and will remain in my skincare routine." - Sari K.

"The product made my skin soft and reduced redness. Lovely product. My skin felt less dry than before. Because of this, facial cream spreads and absorbs more easily." - Eija K.

"Even during washing, you can feel how the soap moisturizes and pampers the skin. Usually, when I eat fatty and salty food on vacation, I notice it on my face, but now, using bladderwrack soap, my face hasn't suffered from the vacation. After washing, my face feels like I wouldn't need any facial cream at all, even though it used to be dry as a cracker. I absolutely recommend this to everyone suffering from dry skin!" - Janette N.

Bladderwrack facial soap helps balance the skin's bacterial flora as it contains a natural active ingredient derived from tea tree oil, which has antibacterial properties and helps control skin inflammation and infections. Its microbiome-supporting effect makes it an excellent choice for blemished skin.

Contains an active ingredient derived from Tea Tree essential oil, which is a clinically tested natural compound. Studies have shown it to:

• Reduce blemishes by up to 30% during 28 days of use
• Normalize sebum production
• Support skin microbiome balance
• Visibly improve skin appearance and texture
• Soothe redness and irritation
• Reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, PGE2)
  

The soap contains organic extra-virgin olive oil, which gently cleanses your skin without stripping its natural oils, leaving it feeling moisturized. This is one reason why Saaren Taika soap products are so popular among those with dry skin. Extra-virgin olive oil is the healthiest, most natural, and also the most effective in skincare products, as it retains the most olive-specific vitamins and fatty acids (antioxidants).

Saaren Taika bar soaps are carefully handcrafted in small batches in Finland

Saaren Taika bar soaps are made from very high-quality and minimally processed raw materials, such as the Cretan Extra-Virgin organic olive oil we use, which has won dozens of taste and sustainability awards.

This means that they retain their natural vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols, which are the nutrients your skin needs, without any potential additional chemical residues.

Cold-pressed and unrefined oils are full of powerful natural nutrients that support your skin's health and barrier function. Unlike processed oils, they have not lost their beneficial properties due to chemical treatment or high temperatures.

We primarily use only certified, pure organic raw materials that naturally nourish, moisturize, and protect your skin. Therefore, the shelf life of our products may be shorter, but their effectiveness in skin challenges, i.e., their properties that support skin well-being and health, are the best possible.

The effectiveness of Saaren Taika bar soaps is based on carefully selected, primarily unprocessed raw materials that preserve the vitamins, antioxidants, and polyphenols important for your skin's well-being.

The vitamins contained in the oils promote collagen production, which keeps your skin elastic and helps prevent wrinkles. They support your skin's natural protective barrier and help it combat harmful environmental effects.

The antioxidants retained in the oils protect your skin from premature aging and possibly also from inflammation. They prevent cell damage caused by free radicals, soothe irritated skin, and promote its well-being.

The polyphenols contained in the oils strengthen your skin's own protective layer, reduce redness, and soothe sensitivities. They improve skin elasticity and moisture balance, leaving your skin healthy and well-conditioned.

In addition, unprocessed vegetable oils contain numerous other nutrients that affect the appearance and health of your skin.

Bladderwrack salt soap is a refreshing body rejuvenator

This salt soap is specifically designed for the body when you need effective yet gentle cleansing. Its effectiveness is based on two natural ingredients: sea salt and bladderwrack powder.

Gently exfoliates dead skin cells and helps your skin renew itself
Deep cleanses pores and balances sebum production
Especially suitable for rough, blemished, or dry body skin
This soap also contains a natural active ingredient derived from tea tree oil, whose antibacterial and microbiome-supporting effect makes it an excellent choice for blemished skin.

Bladderwrack soap

When the active ingredients for a series of serums and creams are developed from bladderwrack, nutrient-rich seaweed powder remains, and we decided to utilize it fully. This led to the creation of Bladderwrack facial soap and Bladderwrack salt soap; two ecological innovations that pamper your skin and respect nature.

Own product development. Own active ingredient

At the core of Saaren Taika's bladderwrack series are combination active ingredients developed in our own laboratory. These are entirely new, unique combinations in Finland, utilizing the power of bladderwrack for your skin in a way never before done in Finland.

Our active ingredients utilize extraction methods we have developed, which allow us to very effectively capture the diverse nutrients and bioactive compounds from bladderwrack.

This is the first time that such an effective, scientifically justified skincare product is made from Finnish bladderwrack, and it is produced from start to finish in our own factory in Perniö.

Saaren Taika is one of the few Finnish cosmetic brands that have their own laboratory-based product development and manufacturing under one roof. We develop and manufacture the majority of our products ourselves, based on our own research and vision.

After utilizing the active ingredients, valuable, mineral-rich bladderwrack powder remains from the raw material, which we did not want to waste.
Saaren Taika's Perniö cosmetics factory operates on a zero-waste principle, where every by-product of the manufacturing process is fully utilized in a new form.
And as a result, two entirely new bar soaps were created, continuing the bladderwrack series' story ecologically and effectively.
