The exclusive composition of Fer a Cheval Pure Olive Bar Marseille Soap 2kg, made exclusively from olive oil, complies with the Edict of Colbert of 1688, according to which only olive oils should be used in the production of genuine Marseille soap.

Marseille Soap is iconic and 'probably the most versatile soap in the world', it's certainly some of the best.

Traditionally sliced from a large block to use in various sizes around the home, this is the first time a 2kg bar has been stocked in the UK.

A French family will slice pieces to use in many ways:

as toothpaste 
for laundry

for your shower
to deter moths
for shaving
to clean your mattress
to clean your bathroom
to relieve cramps and night sweats
to clean the floor
