Traditional Marseille Soap from Marseille, France

Crafted at Savonnerie Le Sérail in Marseille, France, this authentic Marseille soap is still made in open cauldrons using the traditional Marseille process. One of the last soap makers to preserve this centuries-old method, Le Sérail slowly cooks each batch through a series of time-honored steps before cutting, stamping, and curing the finished bars.

Made with olive oil and coconut oil, this fragrance-free soap contains no added colorants, preservatives, or whitening agents. It is gentle enough for everyday cleansing and has been a trusted household staple in France for generations.

A light white powder may appear on the surface of the soap. This is a natural result of the traditional manufacturing and curing process and rinses away with use.

Ingredients: Olive oil, coconut oil, water, sodium hydroxide

Traditionally sized bar: Each bar is hand-cut, so weights and dimensions may vary slightly. Variations in color, texture, and surface appearance reflect its handmade nature.

Weight: 300 g (10.6 oz)

Packaging: Sold exactly as it leaves the soap factory—with no individual packaging, just the traditional maker's stamp impressed into the soap itself.
