Most fabric softeners work through cationic surfactants that coat fibres.
This one works through acid neutralisation and mineral balance (vinegar + bicarbonate).
Vinegar & Bicarbonate Laundry Rinse
This fabric softener from Mas du Roseau follows a simple household principle long used in traditional laundry: restoring the natural balance of fabrics after washing.
Instead of coating fibres with synthetic softening agents, the formula relies on vinegar and bicarbonate to neutralise detergent residues and help fabrics rinse cleanly. This leaves textiles feeling softer while preserving their natural texture.
Produced in Provence in small batches, the formula is biodegradable and suitable for everyday laundry.
A Traditional Laundry Rinse
Vinegar has long been used in laundry as a natural rinse aid. Its mild acidity helps dissolve alkaline detergent residues and mineral deposits that can make fabrics feel stiff.
When used during the rinse cycle it can:
• soften fabrics naturally
• reduce detergent residue
• help restore fabric balance
• improve rinse clarity
Bicarbonate complements this process by helping regulate pH and support freshness.
Lightly Fragranced
The formula contains a delicate plant-derived fragrance used in low concentration, leaving laundry lightly fresh rather than heavily perfumed.
Suitable For Everyday Laundry
This softening rinse can be used for:
• everyday clothing
• bed linen and towels
• general household laundry
Because it works by improving the rinse stage rather than coating fibres, it helps maintain the natural feel of fabrics.
Simple Composition
The formulation is intentionally minimal and biodegradable.
Key components include:
Acetum (Vinegar)
Helps dissolve detergent residues and restore fabric softness.
Sodium Bicarbonate
Balances pH and contributes to overall freshness.
Plant-Derived Fragrance
Used in very small amounts to provide a light scent.

"As an artisanal, family-owned company, we believe products should be effective without being overpowered, and carefully adapted to individual needs. Our approach encourages conscious use, respecting physical integrity while minimising environmental impact."
Every formula reflects a guiding principle:
eco-responsible products should be handcrafted and reduced to the essentials.
Mas du Roseau is a French, family-run brand crafting natural soaps for home & body inspired by the traditions of Provence. Founded in 1983 by Pascale, and Alsatian lady living in Provence, the brand is committed to artisanal production, ethical formulation, and a more authentic, healthier approach to everyday care.
Rooted in heritage yet guided by modern responsibility, Mas du Roseau creates simple, effective products designed to be used daily — essentials that respect both skin and environment.
Living with her husband in a traditional Provençal farmhouse, surrounded by reeds, fields, and the natural rhythms of rural life inspired Pascale to create her products.
Firmly committed to manual and artisanal production methods and traditional marseille soap making, preserving the human expertise at the heart of her products. With a slower, more considered approach to creating products that are gentle, reliable, and honest.
The formulas are all developed and produced in her own workshop in St Chamas, and are reviewed annually with a focus on quality, ethics, and continuous improvement.
Actively prioritising healthy components and raw materials — not only to respect your skin, but also to protect the wellbeing of the people who manufacture our products. All raw materials are also sourced locally where possible with 80% or these for product and packaging coming from France.
Mas du Roseau formulations are built around naturally derived ingredients selected for performance, skin compatibility, and environmental profile. Avoiding unnecessary additives and with a focus on clarity, balance, and purpose.
All Mas du Roseau perfumes are sourced exclusively from Grasse, chosen for their quality and created with as few allergens as possible. Where colour is required, this is created French mineral and plant-based dyes, favouring natural origin and visual restraint.
Nothing is added without reason.
Sustainability is embedded in every stage, from sourcing and formulation to packaging and partnerships.
Where Palm Oil is used it is certified sustainable by RSPO, supporting responsible practices and biodiversity protection.
