Where did you grow up?
In Madrid
How long have you been working/collaborating with Såper?
Before Saper existed as it is now, I already had the idea in my head, it began to take shape in 2011, searching for premises, designing the laboratory, the store, processing the health registration, formulation of products, etc. …. The location was very important, we were looking for a place away from the big cities, surrounded by nature, and very quiet.
What is your official position at Såper?
Well, until my brother joined as partner and Commercial Director, my official position was all…
What is your actual position at Såper?
And now, I am mainly in the lab, manufacturing products, preparing orders, managing social networks, and organizing papers, papers and more papers, the folders are growing at a frantic pace!!!!
What do you like most about your work at Såper?
Freedom.
The management of my own time, since I started this project I have not had two days in a row the same, every day is an adventure.
Also the daily contact with nature (you have to see the views I have from Casa de Uceda).
What is your favorite product?
Ufffff…..the truth is that I would not know which one to choose, but if I went on a trip and I could only take one product, I would take the Skin Repair Body Butter, I love its smell, its texture and its versatility!!!!
What recharges your batteries?
Travel
What sets Saper apart from other cosmetic brands?
The soul.
Yes, I know, it has been a bit corny, but it is the truth, all our products have a very careful formulation process, we do not only think about the final properties it will have, for me it is very important the origin of all our ingredients, all of them have to be of vegetable origin, we do not use any animal derivative, and they have to come from organic farming, that guarantees that we are not only taking care of people, we are also taking care of the land, we protect it against pesticides, biocides and phytosanitary products, and also against transgenic products.
We do not use organic ingredients because they are fashionable, so we can put one more stamp on the label, no, we use them because we cannot conceive of making cosmetic products in any other way, because in this way we close a perfect circle, we take care of People, Animals and the Earth.
What is your motto, what makes you happy?
Knowing that with my daily work, I am doing my bit to make things in this world go a little better, as a Chinese proverb said: “the slight flapping of a butterfly’s wings can be felt on the other side of the world”.
