For more than 110 years and four generations running the Marius Fabre soap factory, our family has kept the original Marseilles soap-making process alive, making Marseille soap to traditional methods based on cooking it in a cauldron. Made from a rigorous selection of vegetable oils, it contains no coloring and no synthetic additives. It is free of petroleum-based products and animal fats, unlike most of the other soaps and shower gels on the market. Gentle on the skin, natural and effective The traditional Marseille soap manufacturing process is a guarantee of "Extra Pure" soap that is entirely free of impurities. It is gentle on all types of skin, even the most sensitive ones (babies, people with allergies, etc.). Thanks to the nourishing properties of olive oil, Marius Fabre Marseille olive oil soap helps your skin keep a more natural moisture balance*.
