Le Pere Pelletier Marseille French Soap Flakes in Tin
Zoom ViewDescription: Savon de Marseille is the most famous French soap in the world, crafted by true artisans from pure ingredients. These delicate soap flakes are perfect to use in the bathroom as guest soap petals or to gently hand-wash fine linens.
| Did you know? The traditional 19th century method of French milled soap making results in a bar of soap that has a finer consistency and lathers up better than non-milled soap. After the soap is cooled, the soap is fed through several sets of heavy rollers (mills), which crush and knead it. Perfumes are incorporated at this time because their volatile oils do not evaporate in the cold mixture. After the soap emerges from the mills, it is pressed into a smooth cylinder and extruded. The extruded soap is cut into bar size, stamped and wrapped. |
