In 1928, Walter Rau, the son of a family-owned soap manufacturer based in Stuttgart, decided to create a gentle natural soap for body care, taking advantage of the unique properties of alpine spikes. The salmon-colored soap with spike's signature aroma and herbal extracts has made a revolution. Spike Soap was the first soap to not only cleanse the skin, but also contain plant extracts for care. (At that time, soap was laundry soap and was not used on the body.)
He was amazed by the special properties of spikes, which have been handed down since ancient times. People have appreciated the relaxing and at the same time refreshing effect of spikes for centuries.
Walter Rau wanted to apply the qualities of this excellent spike to other products, and he created many of them. Over the years, many products have joined the original legendary Spike Original Soap, including the face, body, hair and lip care series. Today, this innovative idea lives on in all of our spike products.
However, the founders of the 1920s could not have predicted that the idea of natural cosmetics would become more important than ever. It is now laying the groundwork for the success story of the third and fourth generation of the family-owned Spike Company.
Made by Spike products do not contain spike extracts, but we do introduce natural soaps that are good quality and raw materials.
