Savon de Marseille Soap on a Rope, 290g

An oval soap on a rope, made with genuine Savon de Marseille, from Salon-de-Provence where this soap has 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. 290 grams.
