A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
HERITAGE
The tradition of crafting this hard soap made with 75% vegetable oils, started over 600 years ago in Marseille, France. The first soapmaker recorded goes back to 1370. The soap is made by mixing sea water from the Mediterranean Sea, olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, and alkaline components into a large cauldron which is then heated for several days, stirring constantly. There is no Lye in our products. The whole process of one batch of savon can take up to one month, and this is what makes Savon de Marseille so authentic.
WHY WE ARE THE BEST
The Soaperie Bar soaps are crafted in Le Serail, Marseille, France which is the last artisanal and traditional soap factory of Marseille-based in "La Cité Phocéenne". We pride ourselves in conserving tradition and excellence in every batch of soap, following the original saponification process which is compromised of five main stages: mixing components through saponification, sea salt reaction, cooking, washing or refining the soap removing impurities and fatty acids, and last is liquidation where the soap undergoes a second wash with spring water to purify and smooth its texture. Our soapmaking facility was awarded the "Enterprise of Living Heritage" by the Marseille Chamber of Commerce.
