The Ancestral cauldrons saponification process

Nearly 10 days are necessary for the elaboration of our cauldron-cooked soap according to the Marseille process. This ancestral know-how transmitted by Master soap makers through generations is still used to this day.

A Natural, Hypoallergenic Soap 

This soap is exclusively plant-based. It does not contain any preservatives, dyes, additives or animal fat. No palm oil.

Biodegradable and environnementally friendly, it represents an ecological alternative to chemicals found in most skin care and housekeeping products.

This label guarantees a soap made:

- exclusively from plant-based oils, without chemical additives, preservatives, or fragrance

Direction For Use and Tips

Marseille soap suits every skins types and can be used by the whole family.

It is also an effective multi-purpose household cleaner. It cleans, removes grease marks and efficiently detaches even the most delicate surfaces and clothes.

For Laundry Care

On difficult stains, lather the soap then scrub the stain before using the washing machine.

On delicate textiles (lingerie, silk, lace, baby clothes...), lather the soap with a wet cloth, then rub the cloth lightly on the surface, before letting it soak. Rinse off with fresh water.

Since it contains no preservatives or chemical colorants, our soap may be subject to variations in colour, and lose volume with time and according to an exposure to light and humidity.
