I will be ordering larger bar of this.
Wonderful at getting greasy stains out of clothes and also foundation stains. Great degreaser in the kitchen. Used to clean over and stove. I love it. It has a very unique smell. I like it, reminds me of childhood as my dad always used a large green block of soap in kitchen to wash his oily hands after work and my mum used it on his dirty work clothes.
By far the most moisturising and cleansing soap I have ever tried. Very gentle , highly recommended. All natural and safe. Will buy again .
I use this primarily for washing dishes, it removes grease and will last for ages, and its lovely for washing hands in the kitchen too. Fantastic soap, much better for the environment and water table than chemical-laden washing up liquids. I also bought the version with baking soda but the Pure Olive Savon de Marseille Cubes work just as well and come in bigger sizes = win-win!
love the soap quality it is great but can we have a different animal if possible ?
The black soap cleans better than anything I have tried beforehand- just a teaspoon in a wash load.
So this is just the bigger version of the soap we love. We ordered these by mistake. However we were fascinated by the information sheet and have grated some of this large block ready to be used. And will definitely use it in the ways suggested.
Lovely soap and excellent service. This is the place for good quality soap! I am so pleased that I have found you.
Love this soap.
