For 110 years and four generations, our family has been making Marseilles soap exclusively from a rigorous selection of vegetable oils. It contains no colouring and no synthetic additives. It is free of petroleum-based products and animal fats, unlike most of the other soaps and shower gels on the market.
Gentle on the skin, natural and effective.
The traditional Marseilles soap manufacturing process is a guarantee of "Extra Pure" soap that is entirely free of impurities. It is gentle on all types of skin, even the most sensitive ones (babies, people with allergies, etc.). Thanks to the nourishing properties of olive oil, Marius Fabre Marseilles olive oil soap helps your skin keep a more natural moisture balance*.
Both our cubes and our soap flakes are recommended in the laundry for all your delicates (baby clothes, fragile fabrics: wool, silk and lace, etc.).

Gentle on the environment and economical
Made from vegetable oil, biodegradable, phosphate-free and additive-free, Marius Fabre soap doesn't pollute rivers and helps protect the environment. What's more, it requires very little packaging. It lasts a long time, especially when left to dry out. A durable, thrifty buy.

Practical hints
If your water is hard, add a cupful of white vinegar to the fabric conditioner compartment at regular intervals.
For a scented fragrance, add a few drops of essential oil to your washing liquid (e.g. lavender, tea tree or citrus).
For a whiter-than-white effect, add a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda or a small handful of soda crystals.
