For centuries, Savon de Marseille has been a trusted staple in homes across Provence and beyond. Handcrafted from natural vegetable oils, often olive oil, this iconic French soap has earned a reputation not only for its purity and gentleness but also for its sheer versatility. If there’s one product that truly does it all – for body, home, laundry, and even pets – it’s Savon de Marseille.

100% natural & hypoallergenic - Formulated with 100% olive oil, without preservatives, colouring, perfume or animal fats. Our product does not contain palm or coconut oil.

An old-fashioned saponification in cauldrons -10 -14 days are taken to 'bake' the soap in a cauldron. This traditional know-how, preciously passed down from generation to generation of Master Soapmakers, results in a 'living' product that will change as it ages and according to the weather.

A 100% authentic from the oldest surviving Savonnerie in Marseille, this soap is often copied but never matched!

Long-lasting – A single block lasts much longer than modern synthetic soaps or bottled detergents.

Zero waste – Traditionally sold unpackaged, it is one of the most sustainable cleaning and body care products in the world.

Easily biodegradable and non-polluting, it is environmentally friendly healthy and effective product for your whole home.
