Ingredients

Olive Marseille Soap – Ingredients

🫒

Olive Oil

Protective · Nutritious · Nourishing

The perfect skin food. Rich in vitamins A, C, D and E, minerals and fatty acids, olive oil protects the skin from the elements and environmental stressors while deeply nourishing every layer.

💧

Glycerin

Suppleness · Hydration

A natural humectant that retains moisture in the epidermis, preventing dehydration and leaving skin visibly supple and smooth throughout the day.

🌊

Sodium Chloride

Texture · Hardness

Natural salt that gives the soap its characteristic firm cube form and contributes to a stable, long-lasting bar.

⚗️

Sodium Hydroxide

Saponification

Used in the traditional cold-process method to transform olive oil into soap. No sodium hydroxide remains in the finished bar — it is fully converted during saponification.

Full Ingredient List (INCI)

Sodium Olivate, Aqua, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide.

A minimal formula — nothing unnecessary, nothing hidden.

Use

Olive Marseille Soap – How to Use

🚿 Personal Care

01

Wet Your Skin

Dampen hands, face, or body with warm water to open pores and prepare skin for cleansing.

02

Lather the Cube

Rub the cube between your palms or directly onto skin to build a rich, creamy lather.

03

Cleanse & Rinse

Apply with gentle circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a soft towel.

👕 Stain Removal

01

Wet & Rub

Wet the stained area and rub directly with the moistened soap bar to work up a foam on the fabric.

02

Let It Sit

Spread the foam over the stain and leave it to work for 10 minutes.

03

Rinse or Machine Wash

Rinse with clean water. If the stain persists, repeat and then put the garment in the washing machine.

🫧 Laundry Detergent

01

Grate the Soap

Using a grater, shave approximately 20g of the soap cube into fine flakes.

02

Dissolve in Hot Water

Dilute the flakes in 1L of hot water. Shake and let sit for 24 hours until fully dissolved.

03

Add Cold Water & Mix

Stir again and add 1L of cold water. Use an electric hand mixer for a smooth result. Add a few drops of essential oil (lavender, citrus, lemon) if desired.

04

Use & Store

Shake well before each use. The mixture may thicken into a paste — this is normal. Add water and stir as needed.

👗 Delicate Clothes

01

Make Soapy Water

Grate a small amount of soap into warm to hot water and stir until dissolved, making the water lightly soapy.

02

Soak in Cold Water

As a vegetable oil base soap, it dilutes best in cold water. Soak delicate items gently without agitation.

03

Rinse & Finish

Rinse with clear cold water, then air dry or put in the washing machine on a delicate cycle.

One cube, endless uses — from personal care to laundry, this is truly the only soap you need.

✦ Store in a cool, dry place. A well-draining soap dish extends the life of your cube significantly.

Your Questions Answered

How long does one bar last?

One 300g bar lasts 3-4 months with regular laundry use. A 1kg block lasts 12-15 months.
It's equivalent to 6 bottles of liquid detergent. The drier you keep it between uses,
the longer it lasts.

Does it work in washing machines?

Yes! Two ways: (1) Grate 2-3 tablespoons directly into the drum, or (2) Make liquid
detergent by dissolving shavings in hot water. Works perfectly in both hand-washing
and machines.

Can it really remove tough stains without bleach?

Absolutely. Rub the soap directly on wine, blood, grease, or grass stains before washing.
The olive oil formula breaks down stains naturally without harsh chemicals. Safe for all colors.

Is this authentic Marseille soap?

Yes. Made in Marseille, France using the traditional 600-year-old hot cauldron method.
Look for the "72%" stamp on the cube - this guarantees 72% pure olive oil with no palm oil
substitutes. Certified authentic.

Will it dry out my skin?

This is the laundry/cleaning version (72% olive oil formula). It's designed for fabrics
and surfaces, not direct skin use. For body/face soap, see our gentle Marseille personal
care collection.

What can I clean with it?

Everything! Laundry (whites & colors), dishes, floors, countertops, bathrooms. It's the
original all-purpose cleaner. French households have used one bar for all cleaning tasks
for generations.

Does it work in cold water?

Yes, though warm water creates more suds. The soap still cleans effectively in cold water.

How much does it cost compared to detergent?

€0.15 per load vs €0.40 for liquid detergent. One 300g bar (€X) = 3-4 months.
You'll save €50-100 per year plus reduce plastic waste.

Why is it green?

The natural olive oil gives it this green color. No dyes added. It may fade slightly as

it cures - this is normal and means it's authentic.

Can I use it for blood stains?

Yes! Use cold water + direct soap application. Extremely effective for period stains,
nosebleeds, etc. Many customers specifically mention this benefit.
