The Le Chatelard 1802 Marseille almond soap is a true Provençal classic that brings centuries of French craftsmanship into your home. It is produced in the scenic workshop of Saint-Auban-sur-Ouvèze, where artisans still follow the traditional recipe and shape each bar with careful manual work.
The gentle care of almond
The soap contains sweet almond oil and almond milk, ingredients that have been favoured for delicate skincare for centuries. The natural softness of almond is especially kind to dry and sensitive skin. When you pick up this soap in the morning or evening, you will also enjoy its fine floral aroma, which remains discreet and reserved while still leaving a pleasant trace.
72% vegetable oil content – what this means for you
The high 72% vegetable oil content represents the classic Marseille soap standard. This means the bar does not dry out the skin; instead, it forms a rich, creamy lather and leaves a thin protective layer on the skin surface with each wash. The neutral pH value adapts gently to the natural balance of your skin.
A clean formula with a clean conscience
You will not find parabens, animal fats, synthetic antioxidants, glycol ether derivatives or PEG substances in this soap. The colouring is achieved with natural mineral pigments, and animal testing has been completely renounced. The full formula is 100% biodegradable, so your daily washing routine does not burden the environment either.
How you can use it day to day
It works equally well as a hand soap and a body soap. Suitable for the morning shower, evening washing, or simply for cleaning the hands after kitchen or garden work. A single bar lasts a long time, up to 4-6 weeks, if you let it dry standing after each use. It is also a lovely gift choice, as its elegant appearance and reserved scent suit any home.
Origin and quality
The soap is produced in France, in the Provence region, where the mild climate and clear mountain water have provided ideal conditions for Marseille soap-making for more than two hundred years. The 100 gram bar feels comfortable in the hand and arrives in plastic packaging that protects the fragrance until first use.
