Tiroler Reine Liquid Soap with Alpine Rose Scent from Innsbruck
Tiroler Reine Alpine Rose liquid soap is a genuine soap boiled in kettles at the Walde manufactory in Innsbruck – free of synthetic surfactants, free of dyes, and featuring the delicate, sweet scent of the crimson alpine rose. Not an industrial pump soap surfactant mixture, but the art of soap-making since 1777.
Tiroler Reine Alpine Rose liquid soap is a handcrafted liquid soap from the Walde soap manufactory in Innsbruck, boiled in the traditional kettle method from saponified olive oil, coconut oil, and Tyrolean beef tallow. It has a delicate, sweet scent of the alpine rose, that crimson mountain flower that has always been considered a sign of love in the Tyrolean Alps.
A token of love from the mountains
When the Alpine slopes glow crimson above the tree line in June, the alpine rose blooms – the symbol of lovers in the Tyrolean language of flowers.
Delicate, sweet, floral, with a rosy depth – that is how the liquid soap smells. You can use it for your hands or take a shower with it; both work perfectly. The foam is creamy and fine, and the glycerin from the saponification process provides additional care. If a secret admirer once brought his beloved an alpine rose, in the romantic language of flowers it meant: "When will we see each other again?" – a small, warm question that promised future happiness.
Genuine soap in the kettle, without synthetics and dyes
Unlike standard liquid soaps, Tiroler Reine is a true soap – made from saponified olive oil, coconut oil, and Tyrolean beef tallow, stirred in kettles without synthetic surfactants.
This makes the difference in the foam: the beef tallow, an old local ingredient, has a moisturizing effect, the beeswax ensures a fine consistency, and the glycerin is created naturally during the saponification process.
New this season: all 10 Tiroler Reine liquid soaps come in 300 ml bottles without dyes. You will now only find the familiar pink of the Alpine Rose soap on the label; the liquid soap itself is clear – just as it comes from the kettle. Preservatives and emulsifiers are also omitted. Should the soap ever appear cloudy or settle, place it in a warm spot for a short time and shake well – 5 minutes in the sun is usually enough.
Therese Fiegl and the Walde family, Innsbruck since 1777
The idea for Tiroler Reine came to Therese Fiegl on her daily walk to Innsbruck's old town, which passes by the Walde soap manufactory on Innstraße – "through a cloud of soapy scent like in the days of our grandparents."
Therese, who has been developing Tyrolean brands since 1997 and is also behind the Tiroler Edle chocolates, joined forces with Peter Walde. The Tiroler Reine series was launched in 2010 – 10 scents, each soap with its own story, from glacier milk and hay to stone pine and elderberry. It is still produced today at the Walde manufactory, founded in 1777 on the banks of the Inn – Austria's oldest family business, now run in the 7th and 8th generation by Peter and his son Lukas Walde.
"The spirit must not be lost," says Peter Walde, and so much is still done by hand today: mixing, stirring, cold-pressing, extruding, pouring, bottling, and packaging. You can find the entire soap and care line from the Walde manufactory bundled here with us – and if the Alpine Rose scent becomes a cherished companion, it is also available as a solid soap bar and as a scented candle for your home. A small declaration of love to the Tyrolean Alps.
Care tip
We like the Tiroler Reine Alpine Rose liquid soap in the evening when the delicately floral scent provides a friendly end to the day – apply to damp hands, lather briefly, rinse with warm water. For showering, 2 to 3 pumps are sufficient. You can screw the matching Tiroler Reine pump dispenser onto any 300 ml bottle. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight so the Alpine Rose scent lasts the longest. By the way, it’s a lovely gesture for Mother's Day.
