Traditional soaps today do more harm than good. Packed with sulfates and parabens, they strip your skin of its natural oils and break down the protective barrier, making it susceptible to early signs of aging, dehydration, and breakouts. The result? Dead, dull-looking skin.
At Ecosaa, we believe skincare should nourish, protect, and restore balance to your skin. Enter The Alps Ensemble Soaps—a luxurious range crafted to hydrate, soothe, and rejuvenate, all while connecting you to the pristine beauty of the Himalayas.

Making of the Alps Ensemble Soaps
The making of this soap is a tale of tradition, community, and craftsmanship. It begins with Chyura butter, the star ingredient, which is derived from the seeds of the Dillenia indica tree, native to the Himalayan regions.
This star ingredient undergoes a meticulous process before the soap-making even begins. Here’s a quick glimpse:
- Mature seeds are collected and cleaned to remove impurities.
- Next, the seeds are dried to reduce moisture content. Thus ensuring effective extraction.
- The seeds are then crushed and cold-pressed to extract Chyura butter. Cold pressing preserves its rich natural properties, making it nourishing for the skin.
Once the butter is ready, it becomes the heart of the soap-making process in Uttarakhand. The soap bars are handcrafted by local villagers using age-old methods. After moulding, they are naturally cured in well-ventilated areas and shielded from direct sunlight. The soap bars benefit from the region’s moderate temperature and humidity levels. This slow curing process, lasting weeks to months, ensures the soaps harden perfectly while retaining their nourishing properties.
Why Chyura Butter?
Chyura butter is a gift from the Himalayan wilderness. This rare and nutrient-rich ingredient is celebrated for its extraordinary benefits for the skin. Have a look for yourself.
- Chyura butter is rich in fatty acids, including oleic and linoleic acids. These deeply hydrate and nourish the skin, forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture and keeps it soft and supple throughout the day.
- The natural emollients in the butter also promote skin healing by calming irritated and inflamed skin. This makes it ideal for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
- Chyura butter is also packed with vitamins and antioxidants, which means that the ingredient protects your skin from harsh UV rays and radical damage.
Exotic Handmade Soaps: 3 Powerful Variants
Ecosaa offers three variants of the Alps Ensemble soap. Each of these variants is thoughtfully crafted and aimed at a specific skin need. Here’s a closer look at these Himalayan treasures:
1. Rosa Citresa: The Radiance Enhancer
A luxurious blend of Wild Rose, Orange, and Chyura butter, this soap hugs your skin in the softest embrace to pamper and rejuvenate it.
The Orange extracts revitalize and even out your skin tone. At the same time, the wild rose’s calming effect instantly reduces redness and inflammation. But do you know what else your skin requires to glow? Gentle exfoliation. The natural acids from Wild Rose and Orange offer just that by removing the dead skin cells for a radiant complexion. Additionally, wild roses and oranges protect against environmental damage, tone your skin, and refine its texture for firmer, younger-looking skin.
2. Smoke & Spice: The Detoxifier
If you want to detoxify and refresh your skin like no other, this soap is your go-to option. Its unique blend of wood ash, Himalayan Pepper, and Chyura butter draws out impurities and toxins from the skin for a deeper cleanse.
Wood ash's antibacterial and antifungal properties make it an effective agent against acne and skin infections. But that’s not all. This ingredient also balances your skin’s pH levels, reducing excessive oiliness and dryness. Finally, the Himalayan Pepper stimulates circulation by adding a warming effect, which relieves sore muscles and releases tension in the muscles.
3. Spiced Rhodo: The Skin Healer
A soap that heals your skin? Yes, what else can you expect from a soap that has a luxurious blend of Rhododendron Petals, Turmeric and Chyura butter?
Turmeric is famous for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, helping reduce redness and irritation. Similarly, the Rhododendron petals offer antioxidant benefits, protecting your skin from oxidative stress. This ingredient also has natural soothing and gentle exfoliating properties, thus revealing the healthy, luminous skin underneath.
