Marius Fabre
Slice of Olive Oil Marseille Soap
This slice of authentic Marseille Soap ("Savon de Marseille") comes with a pretty ribbon which makes it perfect for hanging in the shower. Rustic yet elegant, it also makes a truly unique gift!
It is made from 72% vegetable oils and contains no coloring, no added fragrances and no synthetic products. It is also free of petroleum-based products and animal fats, unlike most soaps and shower gels on the market.
Natural and effective, it is gentle on the skin which makes it ideal for people with sensitive skin and allergies.
This will be a totally new experience for some as the oils it contains give it a particular aroma which dissipates when wet. Very earthy and soothing, it takes me back to the beautiful olive tree groves of Provence.
