A traditional, hypoallergenic formulation made with 100% vegetable oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey produce more lather than Pure Olive soap flakes and are suitable for everyday laundry, from clothing and bedding to towels and household linens. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTraditional Savon de Marseille has also long been used for washing delicate, antique and heirloom linens too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ebiodegradable\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eflakes can be used for both machine and hand washing,\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eincluding in homes with septic tanks. We recommend making them into a liquid in advance and storing it ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply dissolve 20–30g of flakes in 2 litres of boiling water and leave to cool. As a starting point, use around 50ml for a standard wash and see how you get on. For particularly dirty laundry or larger loads, you may want to use a little more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor most everyday washing, use the soap liquid on its own. For stains or particularly dirty laundry, we recommend treating the stain before washing rather than simply adding more soap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also combine Marseille soap with traditional laundry ingredients such as bicarbonate of soda or soda crystals, depending on what you're washing. We cover when — and when not — to use these in our Laundry Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAnd they're not just for laundry. Dissolved in water, the flakes make a useful household soap and can also be used to mop your floor, as the base for homemade washing-up liquid and other cleaning products. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe flakes themselves are the pieces of soap created when the traditional cubes and bars are cut to size, so nothing is wasted. If you buy one of our larger Marseille soap formats to cut at home, keep the crumbles too — they can be dissolved and used in exactly the same way. You can also grate a cube or bar to make your own flakes; plenty of our customers find grating Marseille soap strangely therapeutic, while others would much rather we did the work for them!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade in Marseille by La Corvette\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa Corvette has been making soap in Marseille since 1894. These flakes are made using the traditional Marseille process, cooking the soap in cauldrons, and are certified ECOCERT Ecodetergent. They are also made in accordance with the Union des Professionnels du Savon de Marseille specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is our recipe more diluted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn France, soap flakes are often made into a more concentrated laundry gel. We prefer a thinner liquid because we find it dissolves and distributes more reliably through a full machine load, particularly with the harder water found in many parts of the UK and the cooler temperatures we tend to wash at day to day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eExpect to get 500+ washes out of one 750g pack, because we know you will use more than we tell you to! That's just 2-3p per wash. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LA CORVETTE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44339631194335,"sku":"SFM 750 NAT LC","price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0227\/8737\/files\/marseille-soap-flakes-for-laundry-natural-750g-la-corvette-sku.webp?v=1785421086","url":"https:\/\/www.frenchsoaps.co.uk\/products\/savon-de-marseille-soap-flakes-natural-white-750g-la-corvette","provider":"FrenchSoaps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
