Our Story: A Craft Adventure
When youth entrepreneurship meets authentic care.
Welcome to Les Savons de Zachary. Our mission is to offer an authentic and natural alternative to industrial products, an adventure led by two young entrepreneurs: Zachary and Henri.
Our soaps are created using cold process saponification, an artisanal method that preserves natural glycerin. Unlike commercial soaps that can dry out the skin, ours moisturize and nourish it.
Every year, we participate in The Great Day of Young Entrepreneurs (LGJDPE) to share our passion with the community.

Our Mission: Authenticity Rediscovered
In a world saturated with industrial products, our mission is to return to the essential: offering authentic and caring body care. Born from a passion for science and a respect for nature, our company is led by Zachary Marcotte (12) and Henri (12). We believe in the power of simple ingredients and the value of handmade work to create products that are a true gift for the skin.
The Secret of Cold Process Saponification
Our method, cold process saponification, is an art that requires patience and preserves natural glycerin. Where industrial manufacturers remove it, we leave it entirely in our soaps, giving them incomparable softness. Each soap goes through a curing period of four to six weeks to achieve optimal quality.
Our Commitment: Exceptional Ingredients
Our formulas are guaranteed palm oil-free. We prioritize organic and fair-trade ingredients, like shea butter and coconut oil. Our bath salts are 100% Canadian.
A Journey Guided by the Community
Our annual participation in The Great Day of Young Entrepreneurs (LGJDPE) has been the engine of our growth since we were 9 years old. Each event is a unique opportunity to share our passion, gather your feedback, and refine our creations. Your support is what drives us to improve.

Part I: The Origins
Chapter 1: The Trigger
The story of Les Savons de Zachary doesn't begin in a factory, but in the frustration of a teenager. Faced with the eczema that affected his family, Zachary refused the status quo and turned to nature.
Chapter 2: The Birth of a Passion
His quest led him to the family kitchen. There, with chemistry books as his guides, he began to experiment, transforming simple oils into promises of well-being.
Chapter 3: A Family Legacy
This business is not just a commercial project; it's a legacy. The support of his family was the fuel that turned a dream into reality.
Part II: The Craft
Chapter 4: Cold Process Saponification
We use cold process saponification, a method that honors ancestral wisdom. It preserves the integrity of the oils, guaranteeing a superior quality product.
Chapter 7: The Curing Period
Once poured, our soaps begin a long curing period of six weeks. This waiting is crucial to develop their softness and creamy lather.
Part III: The Philosophy
Chapter 9: The Purity Manifesto
We refuse harsh chemicals. Les Savons de Zachary are a manifesto for purity, a return to the source, a conscious choice for our body.
Chapter 12: Ecology in Action
Our commitment is not limited to our product. We use minimalist and recyclable packaging to minimize our impact on the planet.
Part IV: The Future
Chapter 13: The Expanding Dream
