Large Block of Savon de Marseille, with Cutting Wire

Large Block of Savon de Marseille, with Cutting Wire
£29.50
Ex Tax: £24.58
A 1 kg block of genuine Savon de Marseille, for cutting into slices, with the cutting wire provided. Made using 72% olive oil, from Salon-de-Provence where they have been made using the Marseille method since 1900. Batch processed in large cauldrons that are heated to 120°C for ten days allowing for a slow and thorough saponification of lye and oil, after which the curds are washed in both fresh and salted water to remove any trace impurities, before finally being allowed to cool and air dry in large flat moulds. Famously pure, gentle and emollient, the green olive oil soap is suited to facial, hand, and body use and for dry and delicate skin. 1 kilogram, supplied with a cutting wire. Best cut whilst the soap is still green.

Care Advice

It is suggested to cut the soap in the warmer seasons, for easier and cleaner cuts. In the winter It can also be placed above a radiator, or heated in the microwave or oven at the lowest setting — do not leave unattended at any point, as you do not want the soap to melt. Please store in a cool dry environment prior to use. To increase longevity during use, place soap such that it doesn’t sit in any water, ie. in a soap dish or hanging from a hook.
