Marius Fabre is as emblematic of the country's southern Provence region as lavender fields and cicadas, and their all-natural and sustainable olive oil-based Marseille soap products are suitable for a host of daily uses. Palm oil free, the 100% vegetable-based natural biodegradable Marseille soaps are environmentally friendly, and the packaging is entirely recyclable. Some of the range is also Ecocert* certified and organic. Based in Salon de Provence, Savonnerie Marius Fabre makes traditional Marseille soap that can be used on the body, as well as being a highly effective cleaning product for laundry and all around the home. The soap contains no colourings, no synthetic additives, no petroleum-based products and no animal fats, unlike most other soaps, shower gels and shampoos on the market. The traditional Marseille soap manufacturing process is a guarantee of "extra pure" soap, which is entirely free of impurities. It is gentle on all types of skin, even the most sensitive. The Fabre family have been making the traditional Marseille soap since 1900, and the company today is run by Marius Fabre's great-grandaughters, Julie and Marie Bousquet-Fabre, who continue the artisan tradition of Marseille soap-making. The company has prestigious EPV status, which means it recognised in France as a "living heritage" company. |
Made from vegetable oils (no palm oil), Marius Fabre Marseille soap is biodegradable, phosphate free and additive free, it does not pollute rivers and so helps protect the environment. It requires very little packaging and lasts a long time, especially when allowed to dry out, so is very durable and makes for a quality yet thrifty purchase. |
