Claus Porto

Visit Claus Porto

The oldest and most prestigious soap making factory in Porto, Portugal, CLAUS PORTO was founded in 1887 by two world renowned chemists: Ferdinand Claus and Georges Schwedder. Together they created the base for what was to become one of the most important soap making factories ever. Hindered by the advent of the WWI, the two German founders were forced to leave Portugal forever and sold the company to one of its executives, Achilles de Brito. Under his expertise and guidance the company flourished and became renowned throughout Europe as the best soap making factory in the world. Soon after, famous fragrance and fashion houses in France, England and Spain came to Porto to have all of their soaps made by CLAUS PORTO, renamed ACH BRITO after its then current owner. The factory today is still family owned and run by the great grandson of Achilles de Brito. At this 117 year old company, the family continues with the great soap making traditions that were a matter of honor for the original founders. 

Other companies use modern automated methods, and lower quality ingredients for one simple reason: to make more product in a less expensive fashion, or, quite simply, modern technology has left the human out of the equation. At CLAUS PORTO / ACH BRITO it is exactly the opposite. The time - honored tradition of milling seven times (milling refers to the process of "mixing" the soap; the more times that the soap elements are passed through the mill, the more air bubbles are forced out of the mix and the more the fragrance is evenly distributed) has remained to this day the secret of the success of the CLAUS PORTO line. Milling seven times renders a dense, hard soap that is fragrant down to the very last bit, doesn't needlessly split or crack and gives a rich creamy lather. All of the soaps are naturally air - dried (as opposed to hot air machines which dry other soaps on the outside, leaving them soft and gooey on the inside and eventually causing them to crack and melt down to ugly blobs after being used) on racks for two to three weeks, ensuring an even, consistent bar. These luxurious and creamy bars are made with coconut oil and enriched with 2% shea butter to moisturize, protect, and replenish the skin's natural protein complexes. The highest quality fragrances from the south of France are used to create the exotic, lingering scents that have made these soaps so famous. The final soap product, and more importantly the base ingredients (many soap producers cannot make this claim) are never tested on animals. As this soap is completely natural and 100% bio-degradable, it is environmentally friendly.

In addition to the finest ingredients available, all of the graphics and packaging used are authentic and original and are chosen from the archives of CLAUS PORTO / ACH BRITO. In many cases, the actual papers (no longer available) have been skillfully reproduced using the exact same paper stock, embossing techniques and screen printing methods from decades ago. If you notice sight discrepancies in soap shape or size, or a partial obliteration of the stamp in certain places, this is your absolute assurance that each and every soap that comes from the factory of Ach Brito, is formed, pressed, and molded by hand; keeping traditions alive as well as employing members of the same families for generations. They wouldn't dream of making soap any other way.

miYim: simply organic

Visit miYim: simply organic

miYim is the ancient word for water. miYim uses Earth’s most prevalent resource – water – to grow and create our products. From its inception as a seed, the cotton used for miYim’s toys is organic – no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides are ever used in the cultivation process. For 30 years, John Chae, CEO of Hosung, has taken joy in the knowledge that his company’s toy products have brought smiles to children’s faces, and that his fun creations make their worlds a little brighter. John’s wife, Doreen, was diagnosed with cancer in 2002. While receiving various treatments to regain her health back, John and his family began thinking about healthier way of living – from food and lifestyle products to the very simplest of things including what we give to our children. This triggered an avalanche of thought: Could we create a toy that could be the healthiest, safest toy available? John wanted to contribute to the world by creating toys that would not only bring smiles to children’s faces with charming designs, but also peace of mind. This is how miYim™ toys were created, using organic materials and a dye process free of chemicals. miYim™ toys… inspired by what nature provides and by the respect we give back to nature. Simply Organic. Our products represent the selection of organic, the choice of something better than the norm.

Antioxidants are nature's protection powerhouse.

Studies have shown that they play a key role in living a longer and healthier life. Every day, free radicals are released into the body due to aging, pollution, and other external factors. Free radical damage is the primary cause of aging and related diseases. Antioxidants fight free radical damage, boost our immunity, and keep skin healthy.

The combination of proper hydration (water!) and the free-radical fighting properties of antioxidants is a virtual powerhouse for your immune system.

About Tea Forté

Founded in 2003, Tea Forté is the realization of one man's dream and vision. Renowned American designer, Peter Hewitt, set out to capture the "art of tea" and define the contemporary ceremony of tea. Through the combination of artfully blended teas, and custom-designed accessories, Tea Forté elevates a cup of tea into an extraordinary experience for all of your senses.

Peter's passion for whole leaf teas began in the local teahouses of Asia. There he discovered the complexity of flavors available in whole leaf teas and the exquisite ceremony surrounding the art of tea drinking. Through his personal discovery, he became dedicated to transforming the artistry of the Asian tea ceremony into an experience for today's lifestyle.

Peter consulted with chefs and restaurateurs in culinary havens worldwide to create the most innovative, delicious blends. With the aid of expert tea masters, the blends of whole leaf teas, rough-cut herbs and flowers were painstakingly perfected. Peter labored over every detail of our pyramid infusers crowned with our signature leaf. Each one is a work of art; handcrafted in our workshop amid the lush tea gardens of China and designed to infuse as much flavor and aroma as loose leaf teas. The result is a most delicious cup of tea.

But the rich flavors and aromas of extraordinary tea are only a portion of the Tea Forté experience. Our stylish accessories and enchanting infuser transform your cup of tea into elegant and soothing moment.
