Our Marseille soaps are made in Marseille according to the traditional manufacturing process of cooking in cauldrons. They are proposed naked in order to limit the overproduction of packaging.
100% natural origin, based on exclusively vegetable oils, without coloring agents, perfumes or preservatives. The color of the soap can vary, from white to dark beige for the extra pure and from soft green to dark green for the olive, depending on the production batches because of the vegetable oils used from one cauldron to another. This gives our soaps the authenticity of a product made from natural materials and does not alter the quality of the finished product.
Marseille soap is gentle on the skin, and its hypoallergenic formulation is highly appreciated by allergic, sensitive or irritated skin, and is suitable for the whole family! Used for personal hygiene or as a cleaning product for laundry or the home, Marseille soap is a traditional, effective and economical product with a long shelf life.

Our Marseille soaps contain a very small amount of glycerin. This one is of course not added to the soap. It is naturally contained in the vegetable oil. However, it is removed during the washing stages of the Marseille process. However, there is still a trace of it and regulations now require us to indicate it on our ingredient lists.
