At the heart of Le Marais lies a little Marseille gem; one of the oldest soap manufacturers still producing this precious soap. For four generations, the Fabre family has been working to develop their product range while respecting traditional manufacturing methods. Environmental sustainability, high-quality raw materials, and craftsmanship are the beautiful values of this soap factory and its boutique in the center of Paris.
In 1900, at just 22 years old, Marius Fabre established his soap factory in Salon-de-Provence. He set up shop in the warehouse at the back of his garden, which he converted to accommodate two cauldrons and a few shelves. 120 years later, Marius' great-granddaughters, Julie and Marie, continue the adventure while adapting to their times.
Perfect for sensitive skin, the various ranges of 100% natural and biodegradable soaps proudly grace the wooden shelves.
Welcome to this warm and refined boutique, whose design was inspired by the soap-making profession. The uniqueness of the products? They are sold in bulk, as flakes or in recyclable packaging, and they are completely eco-friendly.
Blanc, vert or noir, they are all made from vegetable oil, without any coloring or additives, using the traditional manufacturing process that has been passed down from generation to generation. "The soap is cooked for 10 days in a cauldron before being rinsed and shaped into a bar or cube," says the hostess.
These soaps, with their countless and often unknown virtues, also have the power to replace industrial detergents and all of our household products. "You can even use them to wash your clothes!"Dents or shampooing each other. The super cool little extra? Since January 1st, Marius Fabre no longer uses palm oil in its recipes!
Soaps oscillating between tradition and innovation, that we now have a hard time living without...
