Our story

One bar for the
thing you stopped mentioning.

We're a small soap studio in Utrecht making bars for the stubborn skin problems most brands pretend not to see. Started in a kitchen. Still made by hand.

Founder portrait
A letter from Anneke

I started Milde & Co
in a borrowed kitchen,in 2019.

My mother had eczema that wouldn't quit. I'd been a hospital pharmacist for nine years, and I knew the standard treatments by heart, and I knew none of them were working for her.

The first soap I made for her was honestly bad. So was the second. The fortieth wasn't. By batch eighty, her skin had calmed in a way I hadn't seen in a decade.

That's the only thing we're trying to do here, make bar soap that does what it promises, for the stubborn problems most brands skip past. Nothing more, nothing trendier.

What we believe

Four things
that don't change.

We've grown a little, six bars, a small team, a real studio. The things below are the same as they were on day one in the kitchen. They'll be the same in ten years.

01
One bar, one problem
Every formula targets a single stubborn issue. We'd rather make one bar excellent than six bars passable.
02
Cold-process, slow
Saponified at room temp, cured for six weeks. The glycerin stays in. Most factories skip both steps.
03
Pharmacist-grade
Built on clinical evidence, not vibes. We say what's in it, and why, and what to expect.
04
Refunds, no fight
60 days to test it on your real skin. Email one line. We refund. You keep the bar.

Six years, in four chapters.

Each formula maps to one stubborn problem. We stop trying to make 'something for everyone'.
