Marseille is the oldest City in France plus enjoys over 2900 hours of sunshine per year making it the most in the country hence one of the most visited by tourists |
Found the area of one of seven factories (1660) that produced 20,000 tons of soap annually
The paste then was made by mixing beechwood ash and goats tallow which besides washing clothes, dye hair red it was recognized as having certain medicinal properties
KeyTip; to present day, Marseille Soap are marketed as such, but the name/brand is not protected so beware
The first thing to do is look at the color of the soap; if red, pink, yellow or blue they are knock offs
Marseille Soaps are either green (made from olive oil) or white (peanut oil, palm & copa)
There is your shopping tip for today jajajajjaja 😅
