Our Founder: An architect with the soul of a perfumer 

Johana Sanint was born in Bogotá, in an atmosphere of architecture and perfumery. Her great-grandfather, representative of the PFW fragrance house, passed on the family a taste for perfumes and a refined nose. Her childhood was marked by memories between aromas and travel stories. Her father, an architect and thinker, transmitted to her the passion for architecture, the love for nature, the search for balance between man and the space he inhabits, and a deep reflection on the American continent, as an invitation to rediscover it. 

Soon after she graduated from Architecture, Johana traveled to Italy and France where she learned the traditional methods of extracting perfumes and making vegetable soaps. It was there that she discovered her true calling. Back in Colombia, she decided to continue the family tradition and found La Jabonería in 1999, a brand of botanical soaps that used ancestral manufacturing processes. Those were The first steps of what is now Loto del Sur.  

At Loto del Sur we believe that good design can considerably transform the way we enjoy life. We believe in all the power of plants and we rely on a rigorous scientific research process. We cultivate simple pleasures by putting effort and dedication into every detail.
