Marius Fabre soap flakes are a true embodiment of authentic Marseille soap, crafted in flake form at the Marius Fabre soap factory according to time-honored Marseille soap traditions.

These highly versatile soap flakes are primarily used to make your own ecological laundry detergent at home. Beyond laundry, their uses extend to general household cleaning, washing dishes, and even personal care or pet washing.

One 750g box of flakes can yield enough detergent to last you up to a full year, and the entire production process takes just a few minutes! Detailed instructions are available in our "Usage" section.

Notably, this product is formulated without palm oil. We instead use sunflower oil, which is abundant in oleic acid, Omega 9, and Vitamin E. Its composition closely resembles olive oil, making it exceptionally pleasant for the skin. The sunflower seeds themselves are refined in France, within a 200 km radius of Provence.

Composition

100% vegetable oils (Oleic sunflower oil, coconut oil)

Free from artificial colourings, fragrance and preservatives

Without chemical additives

Without palm oil

Soap 30% and over (Sodium Sunflowerseedate, Sodium Cocoate)

Also contains: Aqua, Glycerine, Sodium chloride, Sodium hydroxide

The glycerine in our Marseille soaps has not been added, it is the one that is naturally present in vegetable oil. After a 10 day cooking period and many rinses, only a small amount remains. Authentic Marseille soap, when it is made according to traditional processes, is actually glycerine free.

“Glycerine” is, however, listed in our soaps’ ingredients because some traces remain. The new cosmetic regulation requires all ingredients, even in small quantities, to be stated in the list of
ingredients.

Instructions for use

With our new "palm oil-free" formula, we advise you to proceed as follows to make your laundry:

put 30g of soap flakes at the bottom of your bottle
pour very hot water on it, to melt them (start with approximately 200ml)
shake well
pour in about 200 ml of very hot water again
shake well
let stand if necessary, then top up again with very hot water to reach 1 liter of detergent.
A phase shift can occur in laundry, due to its natural formula. You just need to shake the bottle vigorously to mix well again.

When you make your laundry with our new formula Marseille soap flakes, you may notice a difference in appearance, color or viscosity compared to the old formula (with palm oil). This is quite normal, as oleic sunflower oil which replaces palm oil is a fluid oil (like olive oil), and slightly darker. The quality of the detergent and its washing power are unchanged. It is just as efficient and even more ecological.
Over time, if you prepare your laundry in advance, it will thicken. You just have to add hot water and shake it, to dilute it again.
