Although most tourists would visit the Philippines for its many breath-taking beaches, one popular vacation spot for most locals is located in the northern Luzon — Baguio City. Due to its high elevation, the usual temperature is a lot lower than that in the lowland area. Needless to say, it’s the climate that attracts local tourists to this city that is the heart of Benguet province. However, Baguio does not only boast of its climate and culture. It recently just became the home of what could be the most sought-after artisanal soap in the country — Soapestry Handcrafted.
Alegria Milanes, the artist behind the brand, has been working on the formula since 2016. Soapestry is a coined name from the words soap and tapestry. You see, Milanes is an artist of many things. She used to draw, paint, and write music before becoming a professional graphic designer. Obviously, the soaps cannot avoid her artistic tendencies. The pieces she makes are not only aesthetically pleasing, they are also very straightforward in terms of cleansing, nourishing, and treating the skin. She uses local ingredients that will take your senses to the Summer Capital of the Philippines, like Baguio pine needles and Benguet coffee.
