Savon de Marseille is one of the emblematic products of Provence's heritage. Recognized the world over for its quality and authenticity, it is one of those timeless treasures that has survived the generations without ever losing its lustre. While its solid format is the oldest, its more modern liquid version has won over a public in search of practicality, sensoriality and naturalness.
At Panier des Sens, we've chosen to perpetuate this tradition while reinventing it. Our Liquide Marseille Soaps are saponified in a cauldron, according to the ancestral process used by master soapmakers. Each bottle combines traditional heritage with contemporary innovation.
The tradition of Marseille's master soap-makers
The history of Marseille soap dates back to the Middle Ages, but it was only in the 17th century, with Colbert and the royal edict of 1688, that its manufacture was codified. At the time, only olive, copra or palm oils could be used. This know-how, handed down from generation to generation, has contributed to the worldwide reputation of Marseille soap.
The process remains unchanged: saponification in a cauldron, requiring patience and expertise. Vegetable oil is mixed with an alkaline solution, then slowly heated to create a pure soap, rich in natural glycerine, recognized for its softening and cleansing properties.
Panier des Sens continues this tradition, combining it with the art of perfumery from Grasse, the world capital of fragrances. Our master perfumers create refined scents that transform an everyday gesture into a moment of sensory pleasure.
Why choose Liquid Marseille Soap ?
While solid soap remains a must-have, the liquid version is seductively practical. Packaged in a pump bottle, it's easy to dose, hygienic and suitable for family use. Its gentle cleansing power makes it an ideal ally for frequent hand washing, especially in our modern daily lives where hygiene is paramount.
But where our Liquid Marseille Soap stands out is in its formulation:
96% minimum of natural ingredients,
100% vegetable oils,
an ultra-greasy texture that respects the hydrolipidic film,
exclusive fragrances created in Grasse.
The result: effective cleansing without drying, even with repeated use, leaving skin enveloped in a veil of comfort.
