Our Marseille soap flakes are made from traditional white Marseille soap produced through the saponification of vegetable oils.
The formula includes sodium palmate and sodium cocoate, which are soap salts derived from palm and coconut oils. The palm oil used for this soap comes from dedicated plantations specifically cultivated for soap production.
Once saponified, the oils are transformed into soap and are no longer present in their raw form.
This is a traditional, time-tested base that ensures effective and stable cleansing.
No.
Our focus is on maintaining a minimalist composition:
Just a traditional soap base, grated into practical flakes for versatile household use.
Yes.
Thanks to its simple composition and absence of synthetic fragrance or harsh additives, Marseille soap flakes are generally well tolerated by sensitive skin.
They are often chosen for baby clothes and delicate textiles.
Marseille soap flakes are incredibly versatile. You can create:
A simple base ingredient that supports a low-tox routine at home.
Yes.
According to the official Safety Data Sheet, the soap is classified as Eye Irritant Category 2 (H319), which means it may cause serious eye irritation if it comes into direct contact with the eyes.
This classification is standard for soap-based products. Traditional soaps are naturally alkaline, and like most soaps, they can irritate the eyes if not rinsed properly.
This does not make the product dangerous when used as intended. It simply means that direct eye contact should be avoided, and hands should be rinsed after handling.
As with any soap, basic care ensures safe and effective use.
No synthetic fragrance. No unnecessary additives.
Our flakes focus on essential cleaning properties without artificial perfumes or chemical boosters.
What you get is the natural scent of soap itself.
Yes.
Marseille soap is traditionally known for being biodegradable, as it is based on vegetable oils and simple soap chemistry.
It aligns with a more environmentally conscious laundry routine.
Yes.
When diluted in warm water, it can be used as a gentle floor cleaner or for certain washable surfaces. It cleans effectively without leaving a harsh chemical smell.
Always test on delicate surfaces first.
Store the flakes in a dry, airtight container away from humidity.
Soap flakes can absorb moisture from the air, which may cause them to clump. Keeping them sealed preserves their texture and ease of use.
Simple storage, long-lasting quality.
Our white Marseille soap is made in France using traditional saponification methods, where vegetable oils are slowly transformed into soap in large vats.
Only four historic soap factories in France are officially recognized for producing authentic, pure Marseille soap following this traditional process.
Our flakes are simply this time-tested soap, grated for practical everyday use.
