Product reviews of Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) pure olive oil soap from the South of France (Original Method, All Hand-Made)
Review: I am in love
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I love the olive oil Savon de Marseille. I use it for everything. There is no waste, a tiny bit cleans the counter or washes my hands. I feel like with liquid soap I am pouring out so much more than is necessary but not so with this. The texture is silky and solid at the same time. I am shocked at how well it cleans and how good I feel about using it. Though it lasts incredibly long, I am a bit of a miser with it, I am afraid. I am terrified of one day running out. Perhaps I should order a few extra bars just in case, though I've had my original cube for at least three months. My hands aren't destroyed after washing-up. I can clean a paintbrush with it beautifully. It is my absolute favorite cleaning product and I had no intention of ever having a favorite cleaning product. I recommend the olive oil Savon de Marseille highly. (I think we should go on a field trip to Marseille to get more, don't you?)

Description of Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) pure olive oil soap from the South of France (Original Method, All Hand-Made)
In the Middle Ages, big blocks of gentle soap were first crafted in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille with olive oil from local groves, marine ash and sea salted water. The quality of these soaps were immediately famous throughout Europe and in 1688 French law declared that only soaps made according to certain ancient methods could bear the important mark Savon de Marseille. Now the most prized of all soaps in the world, our Savon de Marseille is still crafted by hand, in Marseille, just as it has been for hundreds of years. It takes the Maitre de Savon (soapmaster) two weeks to make Marseille Soap. The purest ingredients (mentioned above) are heated for ten days in antique cauldrons. Know-how passed down through the generations will reveal to the soapmaster the right moment to pour the mixture into open pits where it slowly hardens. Cut into cubes and stamped, without machines of any kind, the soaps are then set out to dry in the sun and cool winds. Savon de Marseille (also known as "Marseille Soap") is once again being rediscovered for its extraordinary purity, gentle skin care and ecological value. Savon de Marseille is recommended by dermatologists throughout the world for dry or sensitive skin, eczema and other ailments. In France it has been trusted for generations to cleanse everything from linens to little faces. Marseille Soap is totally biodegradable, requires little packaging and its manufacture is environmentally friendly. Authentic Marseille Soap is stamped with its weight in grams - a practice left over from years ago which allowed households to compare prices and plan their inventories. No soap is "greener." In France they are sold piled high on open-air market tables like produce, wrapped in craft paper. Your Savon de Marseille will be delivered without plastic packaging, carefully wrapped in paper stamped with the famous marks to prove its authenticity. ? French Soaps LTDBath & Shower
