Salon de Provence is known to be the“City of Soapmakers”. Indeed with more than 12 soap factories in the city at the beginning of the last century, the economy and the wealth of the city were built around its soap factories.
The Rampal Latour soap factory has passed through the generations with its good, simple and genuine products. This success is driven by the daily care given to the quality of our soaps but also by the deep desire to constantly seek to improve in order to best meet the expectations of our contemporaries. With its pioneering spirit, the soap factory has always innovated while respecting the tradition that has been handed down to us.
Today the soap factory continues to develop and innovate by opening a second factory in Salon de Provence. Visible from the highway, it is located in the Bel Air district, behind the Crau racecourse. At the end of 2021, a new extension will complete the production center, where we have transferred the manufacture of our soap flakes for laundry, and of all our scented soaps (formerly manufactured at the historic factory rue Félix Pyat in Salon).
This modern factory will honor Marseille soap since it is in these new walls that all our Marseille soaps will be produced. We have invested in a new production line to offer all the conditions necessary for the complete production of an exceptional Marseille soap: both respectful of tradition and resolutely innovative.
Always made in a cauldron according to the method"Marseille", exclusively from 100% vegetable oils, without perfumes, without dyes, without additives and without preservatives, Rampal Latour Marseille soaps respect the tradition that has been passed down to us from generation to generation. But today our Marseille soaps are also softer for the skin and for Nature.
Softer for the skin becauseafter 3 years of research, we have developed in this modern factory anew manufacturing processwhich allows us to keep the glycerin known for its protective and moisturizing properties at the heart of the soap. Kinder to Nature because this new processconsumes up to 7 times less energy and up to 4 times less water. Thus this new factory allows us to innovate and rediscover all the authenticity of the tradition of our Marseille soap.
