La Corvette's Olive Marseille soap shavings are made from 100% vegetable oils, in Marseille, using the traditional cauldron cooking process. These shavings are guaranteed to be free of palm oil, dyes, perfumes and preservatives. This product allows to wash with an extreme softness all the delicate textiles (silk, wool, lace...). Thanks to their hypoallergenic formulation, the shavings of soap of Marseille without palm oil are particularly recommended for the cleaning of the linen of the babies. By dissolving the shavings in very hot water, this product is used to make its own laundry. It is a natural and efficient alternative to all synthetic detergents.

La Corvette - Savonnerie du Midi Marseille soaps contain a minimal amount of glycerin. This glycerin is derived from the natural saponification process and is not added to the soap. This glycerin is removed during the washing stages of the Marseilles process. However, a small trace of it remains in the finished product and the regulations require us to indicate this on our ingredient lists.
Sodium Olivate, Sodium Cocoate, Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide
For machine washing: in a 2L recovery can, dissolve 60g of shavings in 1L of very hot water. Shake. Let stand for 24 hours. Mix the resulting lye again and add 1L of cold water. Stir it all together. You can add bicarbonate of soda, essential oils to perfume it and/or white vinegar as a softener. Pour 100ml of the liquid obtained directly into your machine. Shake the resulting detergent before each use.
For hand washing: dissolve 10g of shavings in very hot water in a basin and leave the laundry

This is simply a wonderful eco all round cleaning product
I usually use the 'Natural' version but thought i'd give this a try, loving it so far.
I buy these regularly. I love the olive smell and we have it in every bathroom. Also use it to keep moths from woolens and to keep spiders at bay.
I use this for all my washing now. It works very well and I enjoy making it up! I love the smell and it cleans everything in my wash. No more persil and chemicals for me. It is good for my husband too who suffers from excema. He is much better since using this. This is my second packet.
I also use the Fer a Cheval stain remover bar for any proper stains like blood or ink and it works a treat. All ordinary dirt washes clean away with the soap flakes.
I have not needed to use these 300g bars yet as I'm still working through the small 100g bars that were sent as freebies with the order. It's obviously the same soap as the small bars, and those are superb.
I have not used it yet, but it appears to be the same green soap as in the small 100g bars, and that soap is superb. Buying the 2kg bar is very cost-effective.
Not only are these rich and luxurious the last so long whether you’re shredding them for flakes for laundry detergent grading them for mixing with water for hand soap or cutting chunks off for soap and basin bars. These are truly a fantastic and worthwhile product to buy as a bulk order.
This is first class soap. I bought it recently and have used it for many purposes but chiefly I use it in the shower. It lathers well and leaves my skin ( which is sensitive to perfumed soaps) feeling soft and moisturized. It has a clean, unperfumed smell and I've even used it to clean my teeth! I will certainly buy it again and would recommend to everyone.
