The art of preserving health through hygiene and care

Authentic and ecological Marseille soap

Since 1828, Rampal Latour has had the know-how of making real Marseille soap. Our Marseille soap with olive or white oil is cooked in our cauldrons in Salon de Provence, respecting the traditional and authentic “Marseillais” process. Anxious to improve the quality of our soap and the ecological footprint of our soap factory, we have developed, after 3 years of research and 2 patent filings, an improved manufacturing technique, allowing to use 4 times less water and 7 times less energy for its manufacture. In addition, this patented process improves the moisturizing and protective properties of our Marseille soap, thanks to the natural glycerin that it now retains during saponification. A Rampal Latour exclusive. And all this, while keeping our traditional way of manufacturing.
