Marseille soap is one of the best soaps that exist, word of Marseillaise ;-)

It is used for washing, cleaning, washing clothes, relieving cramps ...

But because of the many counterfeits, many users are deprived of the yet so precious benefits of this soap, because they do not know how to recognize it.

Here are my 5 Marseillaise tips to recognize the true from fake Marseille soap.

1. At least 72% vegetable oil

the real Marseille soap does not contain less. The authentic soaps carry the mention 72% stamped on one of their faces.

Traditionally, Marseille soap was made from olive oil. Sometimes traditional artisans also use coconut or palm oil.

2. Absence of animal fats and chemical additives

Artisanal Marseille soap does not contain animal products or chemical additives such as dyes, unlike those that can be found in supermarkets. Tradition has it that it is made from vegetable oil, bay leaf and soda.

3. Color and shape

Olive oil soap is a green that can tinge on brown.

Marseille soap is white when made from palm oil, copra or even peanuts.

It is found in the form of cubes or glitter.

4. The smell

If your soap does not have the characteristic smell of olive oil when it is supposed to contain it, it is not a real one. Pure Marseille soap does not contain no perfume.

The soaps made from Marseille soap are generally scented with lavender, honey, almond ... but they are derived products.

5. The consistency of the soap

Upon purchase, the Marseille soap cube must to be closed, even hard.

Marseille soap, when it has been used and wet, dries crisply. Crevasses form. It keeps for a very long time and keeps its properties intact.

Soaps imitating it, when wet, melt and become pasty, while the real one hardly melts at low temperature.

Where to find real Marseille soap and at what price?

You are going to tell me: "In Marseille" and you are right! However, Marseille soap does not benefit from a controlled designation of origin, 90% of products sold in commerce are imitations from abroad.

If you are in a remote area, you will be able to find these products on the Internet as well.

Real Marseille soap costs 15 to 20 € per kg, the price being more interesting when the quantity increases.

As has already been mentioned here, Marseille soap, hypoallergenic, bactericidal, biodegradable, is also very useful for washing clothes or the house, washing, treating night cramps ... In short, I use it for all !
