The benefits of olive oil in liquid Marseille soaps
For centuries liquid Marseille soap has been a natural cosmetics staple, recognized for its purifying, moisturizing and protective properties. But what makes it truly unique is one of its star ingredients: olive oil.
Used in the traditional formulas of this iconic soap, it provides incomparable softness, deeply nourishes the skin and protects it from drying out. At Panier des Senswe're committed to perpetuating this Provencal heritage by offering natural liquid Marseille soaps, enriched with virgin olive oil and made using the traditional methods of master soap-makers.
Let's discover why olive oil is a natural treasure for your skin, and why it's at the heart of our surgras liquid soaps.
History and benefits of liquid Marseille soap with olive oil
The history of Marseille soap dates back to the 14th century, when the Provence region became a major soap-producing center thanks to the exceptional quality of its olive oil. Inspired by Aleppo soaps made from olive oil and laurel, it became a staple in French households.
As early as the 17th century, under Louis XIV, Colbert's Edict regulated its manufacture, imposing a 100% vegetable composition, with no animal fats. This guarantee of quality is based primarily on the use of olive oil, which gives Marseille soap its nourishing and protective properties.
Even today, this precious oil is at the heart of the recipe for liquid Marseille soaps, providing gentle , respectful cleansing for the skin.

An ingredient with multiple benefits for the skin
Olive oil is a true source of skin benefits, thanks to its richness in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants. When added to a superfatted liquid soap, it works deep down to nourish, protect and soothe the skin on a daily basis.
Intense, long-lasting hydration
One of the main benefits of olive oil is its moisturizing power. Thanks to its concentration in essential fatty acids, it helps the skin maintain its hydrolipidic film and prevents dehydration.
✔️ Preserves skin's natural moisture
✔️ Softens and softens
✔️ Reinforces the skin's barrier to limit external aggression
Unlike some industrial soaps, which can dry out the skin, a superfatted liquid soap enriched with olive oil protects it and leaves it feeling comfortable after each wash.
An ally for sensitive and reactive skin
Olive oil is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an ideal ingredient for sensitive and delicate skin.
Our liquid hand and body soaps are formulated without sulfated surfactants or irritants, so they gently cleanse without causing redness or tightness.
✔️ Ideal for skin prone to allergies, eczema or irritation
✔️ No artificial colorants or synthetic fragrances
✔️ Suitable for the whole family, including children
Thanks to its emollient action, olive oil helps calm feelings of discomfort and restore skin balance, for softer skin day after day.
A powerful antioxidant that protects the skin
In addition to its nourishing effect, olive oil is a powerful natural antioxidant, thanks to its vitamin E and polyphenol content. These active ingredients play a key role in protecting against skin ageing:
- Neutralizes the free radicals responsible for premature ageing
- Helps maintain skin'selasticity and firmness
- Promotes cell regeneration for radiant skin
By using a natural liquid Marseille soap enriched with olive oil, the skin is better protected from external aggressions (pollution, stress, UV) and retains all its youth and vitality.
