Savon de Marseille Soap Tin with Soap

A single 100g bar of genuine Savon de Marseille, presented in an aluminium tin for keeping the soap in good condition when travelling etc. This Savon de Marseille is 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.
