Discover the Authenticity of Savon de Marseille - A Timeless Tradition of Purity and Wellness
This iconic soap has been a staple in French households since the 17th century, when it was first crafted in the bustling port city of Marseille. The origins of Savon de Marseille can be traced back to ancient times, but its distinctive formula was officially established by King Louis XIV, who enacted the "Edict of Colbert" in 1688. This decree regulated soap production in Marseille, mandating that it be made exclusively with pure olive oil, setting the standard for quality that endures to this day.
The art of soap-making in Marseille draws from the expertise of master soap makers who refined the traditional process over centuries. These artisans, known as "savonniers," became renowned for their skill in crafting soap using large cauldrons and natural ingredients. The method involves a lengthy cooking process, taking up to ten days to transform a blend of olive oil, alkaline ash from sea plants, and seawater into the distinctive, gentle soap beloved worldwide. This meticulous process, passed down through generations, ensures that each bar retains the authentic characteristics of the original Savon de Marseille.
Our Savon de Marseille goes beyond being just soap; it is a journey back to the roots of artisanal craftsmanship. Handmade with meticulous care, each bar is a unique piece, embodying the dedication and skill of our local artisans. The secret to its unmatched quality lies in its simplicity: just a few natural, organically sourced ingredients coming together to create a luxurious experience. The use of vegetable oils, such as olive, ensures a product that is not only gentle on the skin but also eco-friendly.
