Customer Reviews of Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) pure olive oil soap from France Traditional Method, All Hand-Made
Customer Review: My skin feels great after my shower...great soap
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this soap several months ago when I was experiencing some serious skin dryness even though I was using a "moisturizing" soap. I always exfoliate during my shower to get dry skin off, but I was flaky, and itchy right after my shower, and having to apply lotion multiple times in a day. I listened to the great reviews for this soap, and I'm so glad I did. I really appreciate the honest, and helpful reviews I find here on amazon.
This soap has a very mild scent of olives, because it's made from olive oil. I find the scent light and pleasant, and I don't really smell anything but clean when I get out of the shower. This works for me, because I use scented body lotions, or perfumes, so there is no clash of smells.
What I really like about this soap is that my skin doesn't feel tight, flaky and itchy after my shower. My skin feels soft and clean after using this soap, so I can skip the lotion if I'm in a hurry.
Even though the soap is made with olive oil that doesn't mean it's greasy or sticky. It lathers and feels like a glycerin soap to me, but much more moisturizing. The brick sized bar was different, but that just means that it will last forever, and it's a great value. If the bar size bothers you you could probably try heating a knife with some boiling water and try cutting the bar down.
Anyway, I really like the soap. My skin feels much better, and I've noticed since using the soap that nice skin shine to my legs even without using lotion.

Description of Savon de Marseille (Marseille Soap) pure olive oil soap from France Traditional Method, All Hand-Made
In the Middle Ages, big blocks of gentle soap were first crafted in the Mediterranean port city of Marseille with olive oil from local groves, marine ash and sea salted water. The quality of these soaps were immediately famous throughout Europe and in 1688 French law declared that only soaps made according to certain ancient methods could bear the important mark Savon de Marseille. Now the most prized of all soaps in the world, our Savon de Marseille is still crafted by hand, in Marseille, just as it has been for hundreds of years. It takes the Maitre de Savon (soapmaster) two weeks to make Marseille Soap. The purest ingredients are heated for ten days in antique cauldrons. The soapmaster knows just the right moment to pour the mixture into open pits where it slowly hardens. Cut into cubes and stamped, without machines of any kind, the soaps are then set out to dry in the sun and cool winds. Savon de Marseille ("Marseille Soap") is once again being rediscovered for its extraordinary purity, gentle skin care and ecological value. Savon de Marseille is recommended by dermatologists throughout the world for dry or sensitive skin, eczema and other ailments. In France it has been trusted for generations to cleanse everything from linens to little faces. Marseille Soap is totally biodegradable, requires little packaging and its manufacture is environmentally friendly. Authentic Marseille Soap is stamped with its weight in grams - a practice left over from years ago which allowed households to compare prices and plan their inventories. This gram weight is the weight of the soap "frais" or fresh in the factory. The soap will lose weight as it becomes drier. No soap is "greener." In France they are sold piled high on open-air market tables like produce, wrapped in craft paper. Our Savon de Marseille may sometimes arrive moist. This is because it has just arrived from France. Please just set it out and it will dry immediately. © French Soaps LTDSoaps
