A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
With raw materials in abundance, such as olive oil, soda and salt from Camargue, the region of Provence became famous for its excellent quality soap in the Middle Ages.
In 1688, by the Edict of Colbert, Louis XIV institutionalised soap, establishing manufacturing rules: In addition to cooking in large furnaces, only pure olive oils must be used as vegetable oils, prohibiting any animal fat. This decree allowed Marseille soaps to acquire a reputation that will stay with them forever.
