Traditional Soap Flakes from Marseille, France
Crafted at Savonnerie Le Sérail in Marseille, France, these authentic Marseille soap flakes are made from traditional olive-oil Marseille soap using the same time-honored process preserved by the soap factory since 1949.
Soap flakes offer an easy way to use Marseille soap for laundry and household cleaning without having to grate a bar yourself. Dissolve them in warm water for hand-washing clothes, use them in homemade laundry preparations, or make a simple soapy solution for everyday household cleaning.
Made from the olive-oil Marseille soap and without added fragrance, these flakes contain no added colorants, preservatives, or whitening agents. They are biodegradable and packaged in a simple paper bag.
The flakes may vary slightly in size, color, and texture—a natural characteristic of traditionally made soap.
