La Maison du Savon de Marseille Shea Butter Soap - Rose

A tribute to the timeless elegance of the rose. Handcrafted in Provence and enriched with organic shea butter, known for its deeply moisturising and protective properties. Its soft floral fragrance—expertly developed in Grasse, the world’s perfume capital—wraps your skin in a refined and romantic scent for a gentle, soothing self-care moment.

Made using traditional hot-process saponification, this French bar soap produces a rich, creamy lather that cleanses while nourishing the skin. Composed of 97% naturally derived ingredients, it’s gentle enough for daily use on both hands and body. Certified RSPO, this natural bar soap supports responsible sourcing of ingredients such as glycerin and soap flakes, making it a skincare choice that’s both luxurious and environmentally conscious. Made in France.

Can this soap be used on the face?
Yes, this soap bar is made with gentle, natural ingredients and can be used on the face. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it’s recommended to do a patch test on a small area before incorporating it into your regular facial routine.

Why is RSPO certification important for a soap bar?
RSPO certification ensures that the ingredients used in the soap—like palm-based glycerin and soap flakes—are sourced responsibly and sustainably. This protects the environment and promotes ethical practices throughout the supply chain, making the product respectful of both the planet and local communities.

Can I use this shea butter bar soap to perfume drawers or closets?
Absolutely! Thanks to its natural aroma, this French bar soap works beautifully as a drawer or closet fragrance. It subtly releases its scent, infusing your linens.

What’s the difference between scented soap and traditional Marseille soap?
The main difference lies in their composition and intended use. Traditional Marseille soap is made from vegetable oils—especially olive oil—and contains no added colours or fragrances, making it ideal for sensitive skin and a wide range of uses, including laundry. In contrast, our scented soaps, while still made with natural ingredients like plant-based oils, are enriched with nourishing actives and fine fragrances from Grasse to create a luxurious sensory experience. The purpose of each soap is different—Marseille soap is more functional and minimalist, while scented soap focuses on pleasure and skin care. You can even alternate between the two depending on your needs and mood.

How long does a 250g solid soap bar last?
On average, a 250g soap bar lasts up to two months (6 to 8 weeks), depending on usage frequency and storage. To extend its lifespan, allow the soap to dry completely between uses, ideally on a ventilated soap dish.
