Product Description:
Absolute bliss. Pure, moisturizing Savon de Marseille soaps with the regional flowers of lavender, orange, rose and verbena. 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 - allowing 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.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Vivien, Armonk, NY
I keep a big bowl of all different colors of Doux soap in my guest bathroom. When I have a house guest they get to take one home. The only bad thing about Doux soap is that a bar lasts so long. I'm always anxious to try the next color yet even when there is only a sliver left, I can't toss it because it still smells so good. I am spoiled but can't use anything else. I used to send flowers for anniversaries, funerals, birthdays. Now I send a big glass bowl of Doux soap. It's the gift that keeps on ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Savon de Marseille lavender soap with crushed local flowers
This soap I purchased for a friend as well, and when I got it in the mail I couldn't believe how incredible it smelled. I purchased it after reading the excellent customer reviews it was given. I give this soap the highest rating possible as well. You will not be disappointed in this soap. It provides a very pleasant scent for your bathroom that lasts.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - FABULOUS
I originally purchased this soap for display in my bathroom... Crazy, I know.

A few weeks ago, I ran out of soap to use, so I grabbed a bar. It's fabulous! It leaves my skin soft and fragrant, and the little bits of lavender are exfoliating... so spa like.

I will definitely keep a stack of this soap in my bathroom, both for display and for myself!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great creamy fresh scented soap
I got the Savon de Marseille 300g Orange flower soap. It seemed like a small square of soap but it lasted for a while. Be careful when cutting into smaller blocks as it is very crumbly. The soap smelled fresh and the foaming action was very creamy. It rinsed off well and left my skin feeling very clean yet not dry. I would recommend this to anyone.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Heavenly, Heavenly, HEAVENLY!
Absolutely the best soaps I've ever used. Unbelievable pure lavender / verbena fragrance, soft creamy lather and gently-exfoliating flower petals from the South of France! I love French Soaps' Savon de Marseille with Crushed Flowers.
