Claus Porto - Traditional Luxury for Your Body

One of the coolest body products to hit Europe and North America in the last few years is produced in the oldest soap-making factory in Portugal! Claus Porto, a company established in 1887 in Porto, produces soaps, body lotions, shave creams and candles found in exclusive boutiques in the U.S., Canada and U.K. Traditional hand-made Portuguese soaps are now extremely fashionable!

First a little history…near the end of the 19^th century, two German immigrants, Ferdinand Claus and Georges Ph. Sweder, started making soaps and perfumes in a factory in Porto. The products were of such good quality, the factory received a visit from King Dom Manuel II. In 1919, the company is sold to the factory accountant Achilles de Brito. The new owner changes the name to Claus Porto and adds this line to others he is producing under the new name ACH.Brito.
