In 1900, Marius Fabre founded his soap company in Salon de Provence. Today, the third generation of his family is carrying on the tradition of real Marseilles soap with the same passion.


Using carefully selected vegetable oils – olive, palm and copra, the Marius Fabre soap company still produces according to the rules laid down by Louis XIV.

This know-how, handed down through generations, guarantees that Marseilles soap has kept its peerless quality over centuries …

The Marius Fabre soap company opens its doors to show you the secrets of its methods.
