Hands down, good all around.
Fresh from Marseille’s oldest soap factory: this liquid hand soap that has all the benefits of traditional bar soap, with a useful hand pump for a tidy sink space. Hypoallergenic? Check. Certified organic? Of course. Free of petrochemicals, parabens, allergens and preservatives? You bet. It’s great for your skin—even sensitive types—and it smells nice, too. Choose your fragrance: Lavender, Honey & Almond, Aqua Tangerine, White Tea & Yuzu, Seaside Citrus, Fig Leaves, or Olive Blossom. Oh, and fun fact! The name “Marseille Soap” is a protected designation—to qualify for this highly-coveted label, soap must be made in Provence with natural oils and just a handful of other ingredients: seawater, ash, and lye. At Fer à Cheval, it’s a labor-intensive process that takes 10 days and starts with boiling the ingredients in cauldrons, all overseen by a soap master and team of artisans.
