Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) pure olive oil soap from the South of France.

I love this soap. It is perfect for travel since it has so many uses. It is gentle enough to use on the face. It leaves the body soft and clean. You can even hand wash your clothes with it. You can slice it to the perfect size you desire using a hot knife. Everything about this soap is so pleasing, natural, and crudely elegant. It is perfect and simple. I highly recommend.

Ever since I discovered these beautiful blocks of olive oil soaps from this company "French Soaps" my skin is not dry and chapped. I don't have to use body lotion or hand cream. In the shower it has a creamy feel unlike regular soap, leaving skin soft and clean. Savon de Marseille olive oil soaps are unfragranced, but they have a clean, olive oil scent that I love.

By the way, there are other companies that sell "Savon de Marseille" but if you pay close attention you'll see that they don't have the rustic, irregular look of the ones from French Soaps. I learned that French Soaps is the only ones still making Savon de Marseille by hand (as it has been for centuries). They are poured and cut (resulting in a softer soap -- and softer skin). The others you see are actually machine-made replicas of the real deal and I'm told that in France these replicas are strictly for export -- they know the hand-crafted ones are the true originals and the best.

I LOVE these soaps.

This soap is a must have for anyone with dry, sensitive skin. I was introduced to this soap after a surgery two years ago when my skin was quite dry. Plus, I live in a harsh Winter climate and this soap heals my poor dry, scaly skin. I love this soap! Since then I have purchased this type of soap in Paris and through this vendor and the vendor product is identical to what I have purchased over there. I don't get to Paris often enough so I am thankful that I have found this vendor.

This company continues to win me over. I love this cube soap. I bought the smaller cube and it fits perfectly in my soap dish in the shower. It leaves my skin moisturized but not greasy. The scent is really nice. I will buy bigger next time. If you have sensitive skin or just love organics you have to try this soap. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!!!!!

I have been searching for a product to clean my oily, yet often dehydrated face, and have finally found a good one in this olive oil based soap. It is gentle, yet removes every trace of makeup and excess oil. I bought the larger bar and cut off a more managable piece. It is easy to slice through with a sharp knife yet seems to be very long-lasting.
