Eric Our Soapmaker -“I am Eric, the Soapmaker and Co-Founder behind Libra French Skincare, alongside my wife and the love of my life, Joanne, the other Co-Founder of the brand.
I grew up in the South of France, in the Toulouse region, where marchés filled with handmade soaps, fragrant herbs, fresh flowers, and artisanal treasures shaped my love for authentic craftsmanship and the timeless art of savonnerie.
From a young age, I was immersed in this world, watching relatives and local artisans prepare soaps, botanical infusions, and traditional skincare remedies using methods passed down through generations. In 2018, I moved to the United States and brought with me that same appreciation for authentic French craftsmanship and savoir-faire.
Today, on our estate here in Maryland, I handcraft French-inspired skincare products using rich goat milk harvested daily from our own goat herd combined with organic botanicals, some of which I dry and distill myself.
Every product is made in small batches with great attention to detail, blending traditional methods with a purist approach to skincare. My goal has always been to create products that feel refined, comforting, and luxurious — deeply inspired by the traditions and memories of my childhood in the South of France.”
