Handmade natural soaps from Herisau – made with love using traditional methods.
Behind PurSeife is Dr. Norman Dean GmbH in Herisau, in the Appenzell region. This is where our natural soaps are made in small batches – by hand, with time, and with ingredients we are happy to have on our own skin.
Each variety combines precious plant oils, herbs and fruits that cleanse gently, care for the skin and bring a touch of nature. Natural, sustainable and unique – for a pure feel-good experience every day.

Our soaps are cold-processed: the oils are saponified at low temperature, poured into moulds and, after cutting, cured for at least six weeks. This preserves the natural glycerine – the soap becomes mild, firm and long-lasting.
Refreshing, soothing or invigorating – the variety of our range offers the right choice for every skin type.


With rosemary, lavender, chamomile and St John's wort – soothing and nourishing.

Fresh fruit and citrus – invigorating and refreshing.

Cinnamon, turmeric and coffee – warming and energising.

Argan, aloe vera and apricot – intensive moisture for dry and sensitive skin.

Rose and lavender – a touch of garden on your skin.
„The lavender soap is a dream – my skin finally doesn't feel dry anymore. And the scent in the bathroom!“
„Fast delivery, lovely packaging. The coffee soap is my new favourite after sport.“
„I've been buying directly in the shop for years – now finally online too. Top quality as always.“
