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.
