Cloudberries, rubus chamaemorus, is also known as the gold of the plateau. Ever since ancient times, the cloudberry has been considered the finest of wild berries. Even though the plant is very common north of the polar circle, it doesn’t bear fruit very often outside of Scandinavia.
The berries help combat digestive infections and was used in olden days to soothe inflammations and infected wounds, most notably by the Sami. Research has shown cloudberries contain a lot of antioxidants that offer protection against cancer and cardiovascular disease, and could even help reduce the effects of aging.
Containing a staggering amount of vitamin C, 3-4 times as much as an orange, the cloudberry can also boast of containing so much benzoic acid it is almost self-preserving. Scurvy was traditionally treated with cloudberries, sailors bringing entire barrels’ worth of cloudberries with them on their voyage. This is well-documented in Arabic writings which describe Norwegian sailors carrying cloudberries on their ships.
Rubus chamaemorus decoction was sometimes used to treat coughs, fevers, and tuberculosis.
This cloudberry soap is recommended to anyone experiencing dry skin, especially to those suffering from psoriasis or eczema.
Our cloudberry soap is named after Frøya, or Freya, the goddess of love, fertility, and the erotic. What better name for this amazing cloudberry soap? Wash yourself with Freya’s Bliss, and see what happens…<3
Freya was a very important for the norse mythology and her name comes up a lot in written works, some of which are Gylfaginning, Thrymskvida, and Lokasenna. However, she is mentioned in later works such as Brísingamen in Flateyjarbók. Many names of nordic locations can be tied to the worship of Freya, a testament to her popularity at the time. It was exactly because of her popularity Christendom despised the fertile Freya, and Christian missionaries actively tried to stop her worship.

The soap is wonderfully mild and gentle on the skin, and it smells great too. I’ve struggled with dry skin for a long time, but I haven’t had any problems since I started using this one. Highly recommended!

Såpa er fantastisk mild og god mot huden, og dufter dessuten veldig godt. Jeg har slitt en del med tørr hud, men har ikke hatt noen problemer med det etter jeg begynte med denne såpa. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

I’ve just finished my first cloudberry soap — and luckily I’d bought several more. Your soaps are fantastic, and that’s my honest experience after trying several of them. What’s special about this cloudberry soap is that there are actual cloudberry seeds in the bar. It gives the product a really natural feel. Very gentle, and the skin feels soft and smooth.

Nå har jeg brukt opp min første multesåpe og heldigvis kjøpte jeg flere. Deres såper er fantastiske og det er min opplevelse etter å ha kjøpt flere typer.
Det spesielle med denne multesåpen var at multestein er i såpen. Det er med å skape en naturlig følelse av produktet. Er veldig skånsom og huden føles myk og er glatt.

I’m so glad I discovered these soaps. I wanted to switch to solid soap, partly to cut down on plastic use, but it was hard to find one that was actually gentle on the skin. These soaps are absolutely fantastic. The scent is pleasant but mild, and my skin has never been as soft as it is since I started using them — I don’t even need moisturizer anymore. One bar lasts me about a month with daily use, and they’re wrapped in paper instead of plastic. I’ll never use any other soap!

Er så glad jeg oppdaget disse såpene. Jeg ønsket å bytte til solid såpe, blant annet for å få ned plastforbruket, men det var vanskelig å finne såpe som var god mot huden. Disse såpene er helt fantastiske. Lukten er god men mild, og huden min har aldri vært så myk som etter jeg begynte med disse, og jeg trenger ikke fuktighetskrem lenger. Et såpestykke holder for meg til en måned med daglig bruk, og de pakkes i papir i stedet for plast. Kommer aldri til å bruke noen annen såpe!
