Gentle on your skin
Your skin doesn't need colorants, fragrance, or preservatives to get clean. Genuine Marseille soap contains none of these ingredients, nor any animal fats. That's why it's gentle on sensitive skin. Dermatologically tested.
That gentleness is the result of craftsmanship. At Savonnerie du Midi in Marseille, La Corvette, one of the last four official makers of genuine Marseille soap, has been making soap the same way since 1894. Together, we molded that soap into the shape of Lesseau, so it fits in the dispenser and you can use it down to the last gram.
The recipe, unchanged since 1894
Authentic Marseille soap consists of plant-based oils (72%), natural soda, sea salt, and water, and nothing has changed since 1894. The craftsmanship lies in its preparation: the mixture is slowly cooked, washed, and dried into a pure, hard soap.
