April Showers: Liquid Marseille Soaps with natural Ingredients for all skin types

Marseille Liquid Soap is a beautiful evolution of the iconic Savon de Marseille — maintaining its time-honoured methods while adapting to modern lifestyles. Crafted with care in Provence by traditional soap-makers like Fer à Cheval and Savonnerie Bleu Jaune, these luxurious liquid soaps are made in cauldrons using the same authentic hot-process saponification technique that has been used for centuries.


The Power of Coconut Oil

At the heart of our Marseille Liquid Soaps is Coconut Oil – a natural cleanser known for its richness and skin-loving properties. It provides a gentle, creamy lather without the need for SLS or synthetic foaming agents , making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.


While lathering can vary depending on the hardness or softness of your local water , coconut oil consistently delivers a silky clean feel and light foam that cleanses without stripping your skin.


Made in a Cauldron: Traditional Saponification

Like their solid counterparts, these soaps are “baked” in a cauldron using a slow, artisanal method called hot saponification . This technique ensures a superior, long-lasting soap that retains its beneficial properties and is safe for regular use.

Both Fer à Cheval and Bleu Jaune adhere to this rigorous process, resulting in liquid soaps that are 96% or more naturally derived – and free from unnecessary additives.


Thoughtfully Selected Ingredients

Each bottle is formulated with minimal, functional ingredients that balance skin health, product stability, and usability. Here’s what else is inside and why:

  • Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate : A stabiliser that ensures consistency without the need to shake before each use.

  • Decyl Glucoside : A gentle surfactant that helps prevent separation when soap contacts water and skin.

  • Hydroxyethylcellulose : A plant-derived thickener that gives the soap its luxurious gel-like texture.

  • Tocopherol (Vitamin E) : A natural antioxidant that protects the formula from oxidising when exposed to air.

All ingredients are chosen not only for performance but also for biodegradability and skin compatibility , making this soap an eco-conscious choice for everyday use.


For Hands, Body, and Hair

Marseille Liquid Soap is truly multi-purpose :

  • As a hand wash : Gentle yet effective, perfect for frequent washing without drying your skin.

  • As a body wash : Leaves skin soft, smooth, and lightly fragranced.

  • As a shampoo : For those seeking a minimalist, low-chemical option that cleans without coating the scalp.
