Description
An authentic cube of Savon de Marseille. This soap is handcrafted in the French city of Marseille by Le Serail, one of the very few traditional soap company still remaining in activity in Marseille. I had the chance to visit the factory during my last trip to France where I could truly appreciate the artisan production process. The vast majority of soap called "Savon de Marseille" are not produced in Marseille, & a lot are made outside France. The Serail is a family owned business, which has been operating since 1949. It is the most traditional soap maker I found in the city. Each batch is mixed & cooked in large cauldrons while being under the watch of the soap master {Maitre Savonnier} & a Virgin Mary statue. All the equipments are also quite unique & old, & were made in Marseille specifically for the production of Savons de Marseille. The overall process including the curing phase can take up to 1 month, making each cube a true piece of French heritage Because of its hypoallergenic & anti bacteria property, le Savon de Marseille is still been recommended by dermatologists in France for cleaning sensitive skin or shaving. These soaps are also so beautiful, they can just be left on a shelf as decoration. With time, they will dry out even more & develop an amazing patina. Perfect also for a gift. Le cube is sold Individually 1000 gr Green Cube - 4" (9.5 cm) cube - Olive Oil These soaps are made with 72% extra pure olive oil & are easily recognized by their green color. Because these soaps are not milled, these soaps lose moisture & turn brown with time. This color change does not affect the cleansing properties of Marseilles soap. They are free from added perfume & recommended for personal care, especially dry skins. Regarding the appearance of the soap - Please note These soaps are done in a true artisan way so they won't be perfectly square or may present some cosmetic defects. They already have a patina because of the long drying process. Because these are not milled, they will shrink with the curing process, as they loose some water content so their weight will be less than 300 gr. 600 gr. or 1 kilo. Some soaps may have a white film made of salt created during the drying process. This will go away after the first wash. in the pictures, you can see the difference between a "fresh" soap & one that is cured. The cured soap will always last longer than a fresh one. in this composition, I also have: 300 gr cube - 10.5 oz - 2¾" (7 cm) cube 600 gr cube - 1 lb 5 oz - 3¼ (8 cm) cube Check our other Savons de Marseille: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ScrumptiousVenus?section_id=22772294 Ref: SOAP Vert - 1000Gr SHIPPING: We combine Shipping.
