It is solid, yellowish in color and has an unmistakable intense fragrance, reminiscent of clean laundry.<br \/>It is believed that, originally, its production drew inspiration from that of the older Aleppo soap, made with extra-virgin olive oil and bay laurel oil. Whereas, the original recipe for Marseille soap calls for the use of only extra-virgin olive oil (at least 72 percent), diluted in water and lye, which is a mixture of hot water and ashes of the salicornia, a succulent plant also known as sea asparagus.<br \/>Marseille soap is a versatile product and used both for cleaning the home, dishes and laundry, and as a personal hygiene soap, as the presence of olive oil makes it perfect for skin care and more.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you want to know the secrets of soap, you can visit the La <strong>Savonnerie du Midi<\/strong> factory in <strong>Marseille<\/strong>.
