Unveiling the Legacy: The History of Authentic Marseille Soap

  For nearly seven centuries, Marseille soap has been a treasured household staple, dating back to the late 1300s. By 1660, Marseille had become a bustling soap-making center, with seven factories producing close to 20,000 tons of soap each year. In 1688, legislators mandated that only soaps crafted with traditional methods could earn the esteemed label "Savon de Marseille". This regulation preserved the authenticity and superior quality of these cherished artisanal creations.

  In 1786, Marseille's soap industry flourished, boasting 48 factories that churned out 76,000 tonnes of soap, employing 600 workers and 1,500 convicts. However, during World War I, production dropped significantly because of disrupted supply chains.

 Fortunately, after the war, advancements in machinery helped the industry bounce back. By 1938, production had rebounded to 120,000 tonnes. Despite the challenges of World War II, Marseille remained a vital player, contributing half of France's soap output.

  Today, only a few soap factories in and around Marseille still make this famous soap using traditional methods. However, Marseille Soap is enjoying a global revival, celebrated for its pure simplicity and gentle care.
