Savon de Marseille, or Marseille soap, is a traditional French soap known for its purity and versatility. Originating in the city of Marseille in the 16th century, it is crafted from natural ingredients without any artificial fragrances or preservatives.
The production process adheres to stringent guidelines, often involving a specific technique called saponification, where the oils are combined with lye and cooked slowly in large cauldrons. Authentic Savon de Marseille must contain a minimum of 72% vegetable oil and is often free from synthetic additives, making it an environmentally friendly choice. This soap is celebrated not only for its gentle cleansing properties but also for its hypoallergenic nature, making it suitable for sensitive skin and even babies. Its uses are diverse, ranging from personal hygiene to household cleaning, illustrating its practicality as a staple in French homes.
