Marius Fabre Marseille Olive Oil Soap Slice

A classic Marseille soap with olive oil from Marius Fabre, hand cut and with ribbon for hanging

The rustic bar of soap is cut by hand and stamped according to tradition, just like in the past. The hole and ribbon allow the soap to be easily hung by the sink, in the shower or on a hook to dry between uses. Each record gets its own unique and genuine expression.

Made in Salon-de-Provence in the south of France according to the traditional Marseille method where the soap is boiled in cauldrons. Marius Fabre has been making soap at the same location since 1900 and the craft has been passed down through four generations.

The base of vegetable oils, mainly olive oil and coconut oil, provides a mild and gentle cleansing for the face and body. The olive oil has nurturing properties and helps the skin maintain its natural moisture balance. The soap is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Made without palm oil, perfume, dyes, preservatives or synthetic additives. The ingredients are of natural origin and the soap is biodegradable.

A real everyday classic that is both robust and versatile. Feel free to let it hang and dry between uses and it will last even longer.

Usage

Use for cleaning the face, body and hands. Moisten the soap, lather up with water and rinse. Feel free to hang up the soap bar after use and let it dry, so it lasts longer.

The soap can also be hung in the wardrobe where Marseille soap is traditionally used to help keep moths off clothes.

And then there's a slightly more unexpected French housewife trick: putting a piece of Marseille soap under the sheets at the foot of the bed to counteract nocturnal cramps. If it actually works? You simply have to test it yourself and decide. We like the tradition regardless 🇫🇷
