Savon de Marseille Olive-600g |
| ReviewsMy entire family is addicted to this olive oil soap, from senoirs to teens, everyone comes out of the bath thanking me that they feel so smooth. Great for anyone with dry skin in summer or winter. I have even tried lathering it with a shaving brush the old fashioned way and it works. You'll wish you bought more.
I love the olive oil Savon de Marseille. I use it for everything. There is no waste, a tiny bit cleans the counter or washes my hands. I feel like with liquid soap I am pouring out so much more than is necessary but not so with this. The texture is silky and solid at the same time. I am shocked at how well it cleans and how good I feel about using it. Though it lasts incredibly long, I am a bit of a miser with it, I am afraid. I am terrified of one day running out. Perhaps I should order a few extra bars just in case, though I've had my original cube for at least three months. My hands aren't destroyed after washing-up. I can clean a paintbrush with it beautifully. It is my absolute favorite cleaning product and I had no intention of ever having a favorite cleaning product. I recommend the olive oil Savon de Marseille highly. (I think we should go on a field trip to Marseille to get more, don't you?)
Savon de Marseille is an elegant soap that leaves you clean, without residue and does not overpower with the stench of heavy perfume that cheaper soaps leave behind. Contains real crushed flowers. Light and clean.
This soap is amazing! I bought this soap in the 1000 gram block size, and I cut it up so it's easier to use. Normally when I use body wash, it leaves my skin soft, but feels greasy and heavy after I shower. With this soap, my skin is soft and also natural feeling. It smells wonderful: it's light and refreshing. I don't even have to apply lotion after I shower with this!
I found out about this soap after my girlfriend and I got into a discussion about how soap was made historically, a few clicks around Wikipedia and I had found out about this soap. I ordered the 1000 gram block as well as a verbena flower one. After reading the reviews here I decided to come up with a way to successfully cut the soap into block from the 4 X 4 X 4 cube it came in. Most soap cutting tools are narrow wires, so with this in mind and only kitchen knives on hand I laid my block on the cutting board and got out a serrated blade and traced a line around the block on all four sides and then began cutting at the corners holding the knife at a 45 degree angle with respect to the block. after I had made some good cuts I rotated the block and repeated. I got a large knife with a narrow blade and laid it in my traced lines and cut back and forth putting some weight on top of the blade until the block was cut. I repeated this process until I had turned the block into 6 small bars, and had no issues. You want the blade to be very narrow, otherwise you risk the block crumbling into many pieces.
