The Soapery
At Olivier we are dedicated to sharing our passion and knowledge to promote healthy balanced skin. Inside our Soapery, you’ll discover how beauty products are created from natural ingredients using time-honoured techniques while learning a fun approach to skin care. We make each visit special with guided tours on the history, the art and the evolution of skin regimes throughout the ages, as well as live demonstrations on soap crafting. Explore the art and science of traditional workmanship in beautiful Ste-Anne-de-Kent, New Brunswick. By the time you leave you’ll better understand how your skin is a living breathing reflection of your well-being and, when healthy, a thing of true beauty.
