Marseille soap's reputation is well established... but are you really aware of its full potential? đ¤ A true ally in your daily life, it has multiple uses, and far more strings to its bow than you might think! Follow our guide to discover all its best-kept secrets đ
To care for all skin types, even the most sensitive đ
Marseille soap is ideal for all skin types, but thanks to its natural, allergen-free composition, it is especially adequate for sensitive skin.Â
Use it to cleanse your face: thanks to its antibacterial properties, it will deeply cleanse your skin and remove all impurities.
Marseille soap is also an excellent hand soap, which not only removes dirt, but also disinfects minor cuts and scratches. To clean the underside of your nails, melt a few shavings of Marseille soap in a bowl of warm water. Soak your fingers in it for a few minutes, then use a nail brush to remove any dirt.
Marseille soap is also an excellent eco-friendly alternative to traditional shower gels and soaps. Enjoy its gentle, natural scent, and let its creamy lather envelop you for unparalleled sensory pleasure, and above all, with no added chemical additives! Bonus point: it also disinfects insect bites! Â
Last but not least, thanks to the natural, hypoallergenic foam it forms, Marseille soap is perfect for replacing your shaving foam, for both beard and body hair. Just lather it with a little water on the part of the body you want to shave, and let the magic happen!
To clean make-up brushes and sponges đ
Thanks to its strong degreasing and stain-removing properties, Marseille soap cleans make-up brushes and sponges, removing all traces of foundation and powder, while preserving delicate brush bristles. Run your brushes and sponges quickly under water and rub them against your Marseille soap before rinsing and leaving them to air-dry.
For eco-friendly home care đż
Thanks to its high percentage of vegetable oil, Marseille soap has excellent degreasing power. This makes it one of the best eco-responsible alternatives to your dish soap and household cleaning products.
To use it as dish soap, rub your damp sponge over the Marseille soap to make it foam, then clean your dishes as usual. It's child's play!
Marseille soap can also replace most of your usual cleaning products.
To clean surfaces you can rinse off (such as sinks, bathtubs or washbasins), rub your damp sponge over the soap and run it over the surface to be cleaned, before rinsing with plenty of water. The ideal solution for degreasing, disinfecting, removing odours and shining up enamel!
To clean surfaces you can't rinse off, dissolve a few flakes of Marseille soap in hot water, then rub with a sponge dampened with the mixture. Perfect for disinfecting and shining floors, walls, ceilings and furniture! Interesting fact: this mixture can even be used to gently clean leather surfaces.
To keep your laundry clean and fresh đ§ş
Marseille soap is particularly well known for its washing and stain-removing power.
Is a stubborn stain making life hard for you? Rub it generously with a piece of Marseille soap, leave for 15 to 30 minutes, then rinse. Repeat if necessary, then finish off with a machine wash, and you're done! With this powerful ally, food, blood and perspiration stains are a thing of the past!
Marseille soap is also very useful for doing your laundry by hand, should the need arise. Slip a small piece into your travel bag before you leave for a weekend or vacation!
To get rid of the unwanted presence in your cupboards đŞ˛
Here's a lesser-known use for this all-purpose soap: Marseille soap is an excellent moth repellent and deodorizer for closets and cupboards. Dissolve a few flakes in water and use the mixture to clean your cupboards. For even greater effectiveness, place a few Marseille soap flakes in small linen bags and place them in your drawers or cupboards. This will continuously purify the air!
To keep your plants healthy đŞ´
Are your plants invaded by aphids, midges and other insects? Are you at a loss as to how to get rid of these unwanted tenants in your garden? Make a natural anti-insect solution by dissolving 20 to 30 grams of Marseille soap flakes in water. Mix well, pour into a spray bottle and spray onto your plants. Guaranteed results in 2 to 3 days of daily treatment!Â
