Marseille soap (Savon de Marseille) is a traditional French soap with a history of more than 300 years.
It is an additive-free olive soap that does not use synthetic ingredients and is gentle on the skin and the environment, and is made using a traditional manufacturing method that has been passed down to this day.
While removing dirt from the skin, it does not remove too much sebum, and the fine foam wraps the skin, and the foam breaks well, so it can be used not only for washing the face but also for the whole body, and can be used by the whole family, regardless of age or gender.
It is an easy-to-use palm size 100g and wrapped in a plastic-free paper package.
🔳 Comfort 🔳 of use

🔳 What 🔳 you need to know about Savon de Marseille
Savon de Marseille olives have a distinct "clay" aroma.
Since no synthetic fragrances are used, the scent is as it is.
Some people who use it for the first time say, "It smells amazing" or "It may be impossible to continue using it." On the other hand, there are also voices such as "It doesn't bother me at all," "The soap I used to use smelled like this," and "It is rather natural and reassuring."
We have been handling it in France for more than 300 years and in Japan for 20 years.
The reason why it is supported for a long time may be that people are satisfied with the comfort of use and the condition of the skin after washing rather than the scent.
Many people say that they don't care about the scent as they continue to use it, and many people even think that something that does not smell like this "clay" is not Marseille soap. Everyone has their own way of perceiving scents, so we would be happy if you could try it for yourself first.
The color does not use synthetic pigments. Therefore, over time, it will change to green ~ brown ~ white. The water contained in it also decreases and shrinks over time. Even if the color changes, the quality does not change, so you can use it. Enjoy the natural scents and colours of Savon de Marseille.
🔳 Different ways to 🔳 use it
Savon de Marseille is gentle on the skin and environmentally friendly.
Because it's simple, there are many ways to use it.
In this article, we will introduce you to the ancient tradition of how to use Savon de Marseille, tips and tricks. We have also added the recommended usage of Savonairie du Midi, so please give it a try.
(1) For cleaning the body (as the original use of soap)
"Can I use it on my face?" or "Is it for my body?" I am often asked, but Sabon de Marseille can wash your whole body, not only your body, but also your face.
Wash your skin carefully with a soft lather that has been thoroughly lathered, without rubbing it. While removing dirt, it does not wash off excess sebum, leaving the skin fresh and moisturized after washing. If you have light makeup made of natural materials, you can also use it as a makeup remover.
(2) For cleaning hair and scalp
If you have short hair, you can use it as a shampoo. Compared to strong shampoos, it does not hurt the scalp. Depending on the type of hair, if it squeaks after rinsing, some customers may use over-the-counter natural treatments or citric acid rinses.
(3) For shaving
You can also whip Savon de Marseille and use it as a shave cream.
(4) For removing stains from clothes
When removing stains that are difficult to remove with normal washing (fruit juice, oil stains, etc.), rub Sabon de Marseille directly into the stain area with a small amount of water. After that, wash it in the washing machine as usual. Most of the spots will fall off.
(5) For washing delicate materials
Add a little soap base to lukewarm water and stir well, then add delicate materials such as lingerie and leave for 2~3 hours. As long as there are no noticeable stains, do not rub it, rinse it and dry it. It will not damage your clothes more than washing it in a regular washing machine. It is easier to dilute solid soap by shaving it finely.
(6) For the care of leather shoes and sneakers
Apply Sabon de Marseille to the brush and gently and carefully scrub the shoes, focusing on the dirty areas. Rinse with cold water and repeat carefully if the stain persists. After rinsing at the end, all you have to do is dry it.
(7) For cleaning makeup brushes, sponges, etc.
Wet the brush and gently wash the Sabon de Marseille with the foam that has been carefully whipped and dry. Dirt is removed cleanly, and the brush part is also shiny.
(8) As a care for plants
When gardening, spray your plants with water in which Sabon de Marseille is dissolved to prevent pests from attaching to them. Highly biodegradable and eco-friendly, Savon de Marseille acts as a natural insect repellent.
