There is nothing proven as effective as solid soap to repel viruses and bacteria.

Viruses can live outside the body for hours or even days and can easily stick to our skin and penetrate it or even more easily get in through mucous membranes. There's no cure for the virus once it's inside us, but with something as simple as soap, you can minimize the risk of the virus infecting you.

But why is soap and water such a good combination?

Yes, the cell membrane of viruses consists of a layer of fatty lipids. Soap dissolves fat and can thus destroy the virus cell and make it unviable. So washing often and thoroughly is the key to stopping infection. Solid soap is absolutely the best as it is usually more alkaline than liquid and both viruses and bacteria do not thrive in that environment. Then comes the important part of choosing a good soap. Bad soap, both solid and liquid, dries out your skin and damages the environment. Good soap moisturizes your skin and is not harmful to the environment. So for virus-free moisturized hands and body, - choose a natural soap with us!

You may be familiar with the classic French soap from Marseille? The real thing is cube-shaped, made from olive and coconut oil, and unscented. But how can you use it? Find out here!

For the whole body: it is very gentle and moisturizing. Unscented and suitable for all skin types, even sensitive.

For the dishes: Yes it's true! The soap is really good as a dishwasher detergent. Put the whole soap on the sink and sweep the dish brush over it. Or grate and dissolve in water (read more below) and store in a pump bottle.

Grate and make liquid soap: Marseilles soap is great for grating and lathering in water. Take your bottle and measure 1/3 with soap flakes, you easily grate with a regular grater. Fill with boiling water and shake a little. After a few hours, the soap is dissolved in water and ready to use. The areas of use will of course be the same as for the solid marzipan soap.
To think about: The soap now consists mostly of unpreserved water so make sure to use it all up within a month.

Wash clothes with: For hand washing: dissolve some of the soap in the water and then wash the garments. Rinse thoroughly.

In the machine: Grate the soap and put about 2msk straight into the drum when washing. If you wash at a low temperature, dissolve the soap in water first.

For the hair: As with all natural soaps, it is great to use the soap as shampoo soap. Wet your hair thoroughly and pass the soap over your hair or soldered in your hand and massage into your hair. Rinse. Great for those who have scalp problems.

More about Marseilles soap:

Many people are familiar with the city of Marseille and know that it is famous for its soaps. In fact, the soap industry started in the city in the south of France probably as early as 1100, probably because crusaders brought the knowledge of soap making from Aleppo. The production of Marseilles soap had its heyday between 1600-1750, and in 1688 a law was even passed governing who, how and in what way the popular soap could be produced. At this time, soap was used for the body but mostly for clothes as a detergent. The soap originally consisted of olive oil, soda ash and salt, all of which were available in France, which also helped business to flourish. The ingredients are boiled together, molded into blocks and, after drying, cut into the significant cube. The 72% stamp is a quality stamp that guarantees that the soap contains just 72% oil in the total composition. Nowadays, the soap is made from olive oil and coconut. Tip.

Ingredients: sodium olivate, aqua, sodium cocoate, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide.

The solid soap is always right, good for the environment and trendy. The liquid soap, practical and supposedly more hygienic. But which one is really the best?

To sort it out, we first need to talk about soap in general whole. Anything that dissolves grease is chemically a surfactant, i.e. a soap. But we all know know that some detergents and soaps are bad for the environment and and dry out, so not all surfactants are good. So there are good soaps and bad soaps and in the same way there is good solid soap, bad solid soap - good liquid soap and bad liquid soap.

Good soap - in whatever form it comes. Is always made from oils that have been saponified into soap. Such soap, called natural soap, will never dry out or pollute the environment. Glycerine is naturally produced when making of good soap, the glycerine is present in the soap and acts as a moisturizer for the skin.

Bad soap - in whatever form it comes. Is a little more complex and can sometimes contain a certain amount of saponified oils but don't be be fooled. All the glycerine is often removed which directly makes the soap drying. Some inferior liquid soaps do not even contain oils in any form but only fat-dissolving lathering synthetic chemicals (e.g. SLS, SLES). These substances are extremely dehydrating and bad for our waters.

The first choice and most important is thus good or bad soap, then in which format is not as significant but there are of course differences worth mentioning.

Good solid soap - Purely artisanal, the genuine original soap. Better for the environment, you often save on plastic packaging and it's more economical. The feeling is also different with solid soap, the scent and lather come out in a different way.

Good liquid soap - Is like a solid soap but dissolved in water which means it needs to be preserved. Although many soap makers use a mild preservative, it is still an additive that is not needed in the solid soap.

The main thing is to choose a good soap! Then in which quickly becomes more a matter of taste. We only sell pure natural soaps and with us you can rest assured in whatever form the soap is good.
