Savon de Marseille Olive Oil Soap Block | 300g

Marseille olive oil soap dates back to the 12th century when soap-making in the Mediterranean region flourished due to abundant olive oil and sea salt. Inspired by Aleppo soap from Syria, Marseille soap production became standardized in the 17th century when King Louis XIV issued an edict requiring authentic Marseille soap to contain only pure vegetable oils, primarily olive oil. Traditionally crafted in large blocks and aged for weeks, this soap became a household staple across France and beyond for its purity, versatility, and gentle cleansing properties. Today, authentic Marseille soap remains an iconic, eco-friendly product with a rich artisanal heritage.

5 Common Uses of Marseille Soap:

• Hand and Body Wash – Its gentle, moisturizing formula makes it ideal for daily cleansing, especially for sensitive skin.
• Laundry Stain Remover – Rubbing the soap directly onto fabric stains before washing helps lift dirt and grease naturally.
• Dishwashing Soap – A sustainable alternative to liquid dish soap, it effectively cuts through grease while being gentle on hands. Pair one of our bar of soaps with a matching scrub brush!
