Savon de Marseille
The real Savon de Marseille soap can be recognized by the logo of the 'Union des Professionnels du Savon de Marseille' (enclosed between the photos). This logo guarantees that the soap is made by boiling the natural vegetable oils in a traditional artisanal large cauldron in the Marseille region; without perfume, dye and preservatives.
