From the province of Castellón, in Spain’s Valencian Community, Jabones Beltrán has been producing cosmetic and laundry soaps for over a century. Its origins date back to the 1920s, during a flourishing era when dozens of soap factories emerged across the country. By consistently using high-quality natural ingredients, Jabones Beltrán creates effective, gentle, and health-conscious products based on traditional recipes and artisanal processes—bringing together heritage, innovation, and sustainability. Thanks to its expertise and long-standing experience, the century-old company has specialised in developing and manufacturing organic, effective certified products made from natural soap, solidifying its position as a benchmark in its sector within the Spanish market.
A perfect balance of tradition and innovation
Staying true to its roots, the company offers cleaning and hygiene products that are both highly effective and responsibly crafted to care for the skin, textiles, and the environment. Its formulations are made with premium natural ingredients, using traditional soap as the main active base.
The Biobel line represents its premium eco-certified range, endorsed by Ecocert, while Essabó is its solid cosmetics line developed under the Natrue standard. Building on this solid foundation, the company has broadened its portfolio to support third-party brands, helping them enhance their product offering with more sustainable and health-conscious solutions.
Many of its formulations incorporate plant-based potassium soap, an excellent, highly degreasing vegetable soap. Made from potassium salts of vegetable oils, it is a 100% natural, perfume-free, vegan, and animal-fat-free soap, traditionally used as a disinfectant and stain remover—especially for grease stains. This allows the company to deliver naturally high performance without synthetic chemicals.
Plant-based origin, certified quality
All other commonly used ingredients are 100% plantbased and sourced from sustainable natural resources. Every product is suitable for vegans, as none contain animal- derived components. The formulations avoid petrochemical substances, making them ideal for people with sensitivities or allergies, as well as for homes with pets.
Fragrances come from pure, naturally sourced essential oils, ensuring the highest levels of sustainability and performance in their innovative formulas. All products carry certifications such as Ecocert, BioVidaSana, Sohiscert, and NATRUE, guaranteeing quality, organic origin, traceability, and environmental responsibility.
Essabó and Biobel: brands that broaden the range
Within its product portfolio, the Essabó and Biobel brands stand out for their commitment to biodegradable organic cleaning, plant-based ingredients, and suitability for sensitive skin. Essabó is the company’s line of certified organic, 100% natural solid soaps and shampoos—everyday essentials for the whole family that care for the skin, including the most sensitive, and for the hair in a natural, gentle, and effective way. Biobel is Spain’s leading brand of Ecocert-certified laundry and household cleaning products, formulated with plant-derived natural ingredients suitable for vegans and for people with highly sensitive skin.
Expanding facilities and production capacity
Jabones Beltrán produces artisanal soap through cold saponification with constant agitation, later hand-cut into bars using stainless steel wire. This traditional process is made possible by its innovative production plant. Renovated at the end of 2021, the factory is powered by renewable energy sources, including solar panels and wood-fired ovens used for part of the production, always prioritising ethical consumption models.
The company has recently expanded its facilities, and with them, its production capacity— representing steady, sustainable growth without ever losing sight of its core values. Jabones Beltrán has also recently obtained ISO 14001 international environmental management certification, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability. This recognition builds on a strategy initiated in 2011, when the company launched Spain’s first Ecocert-certified organic line of soaps and laundry detergents, promoting products that reduce carbon footprint. This latest certification joins others such as ISO 9001, ISO 22716 for good cosmetic practices, and various organic seals, all of which strengthen its reputation as a manufacturer devoted to quality and sustainability.
Expanding its global reach
Thanks to its dedication and expertise, Jabones Beltrán has become a leading name in household and cosmetic soap production both in Spain and internationally. The company is currently present in several European countries and actively exploring new markets. It has recently entered markets such as Ireland, Bulgaria, and Saudi Arabia.
