This talcum powder is perfumed with that great Heno de Pravia scent - a Spanish classic.

Perfumería Gal has been making Heno de Pravia, Spain's best selling soap, since 1905 and its name has become a household word. Heno de Pravia is an "old friend" of many of us.

I remember when I visited my first parador. I think it was the castle in Olite back in the 1960's. I was of course very impressed by the building and the lovely town. But equally memorable was relaxing in a grand bathtub with a cake of Heno de Pravia filling the room with a clean natural aroma. (more info)

It is a pure, honest, long lasting soap - without any drying detergents. Somewhat similar to the classic Palmolive soap with which you may be familiar.

About 1899-1901 one of the company's founders was passing by coach through the village of Pravia, in Northern Spain. At the time the local farmers were busy cutting heno - hay, a grass used for livestock. He loved the aroma so much that when he returned to Madrid he reproduced the fragrance of the fresh mown grass and blended it with geranium, lavender and a hint of sandalwood. He made the bar mossy green and wrapped it in yellow, the color of heno when it dries.

This formula is based on real talc and calcium carbonate as a base. (close)
