Ever washed your clothing and linens with Marseille soap? If you have, then you'll know that it's made from all-natural ingredients in an age-old traditional process but you might not know that it takes 10 days to make it and to qualify for the "Marseille soap" label, your soap has to be made in Provence with natural oils and just a handful of other ingredients: seawater, ash and lye. Wash your clothes with this and you'll have a vacation in your closet every day.
