Simple, scented suds.
Marseille’s oldest and largest soap factory, Fer à Cheval, has been making the Mediterranean city’s iconic soaps the traditional way since 1856: In giant cauldrons, using all-natural ingredients, overseen by a soap master with 30 years of experience. In fact (buckle up), the name “Marseille Soap” is a protected designation. These gentle, certified organic, hypoallergenic soaps are a lovely update to the classic, with the addition of enriching argan oil and nourishing shea butter for even the most sensitive skin. You’ll find absolutely zero petrochemicals, parabens, colorants or animals fats in these soaps.
Fruit & Floral includes: (1) Lavender bar, (1) Rose Petals bar, (1) Honey and Almond bar, and (1) Fig Leaves bar.
Fresh & Breezy includes (1) White Tea and Yuzu bar, (1) Olive Blossom bar, (1) Seaside Citrus bar, and (1) Aqua Tangerine bar.
