Marseille soap is a product renowned worldwide for its many uses in personal hygiene, laundry, and household cleaning. It's a daily essential and can be sufficient on its own in many situations.
Although its qualities have made it famous, Marseille soap continues to have a reputation for being too harsh and unsuitable for repeated use on the skin.
Let's take the time to review this essential product to see if it is suitable for sensitive skin.
The benefits of Marseille soap
Marseille soap Authentic is a product with a very simple composition: vegetable oils, soda, salt, and water. Free of chemicals, dyes, and endocrine disruptors, it is perfectly biodegradable and hypoallergenic. As such, it is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
For hundreds of years, it has been valued for its many properties: stain remover, degreaser, soothing, and antiseptic. It is an indispensable ally for household cleaning and easily replaces dozens of chemical products without compromising its effectiveness.
For a healthy and effective hygiene routine, Rampal Latour Marseille soap is Cosmos Natural certified by Ecocert, guaranteeing the quality of our product. It perfectly cleanses the body and face, removing all makeup residue to leave your skin clean and healthy.
Its properties allow it to regulate sebum production in oily skin. Furthermore, Marseille soap is non-comedogenic and won't clog pores. It's a major asset for acne-prone skin.
However, it is not uncommon to hear that Marseille soap is harsh and irritates the skin with repeated use.
Respectful of tradition, but keen to offer innovations to stay in line with your needs, our master soap makers have developed a patented technique to give their Marseille soap the softness you need.
Our Marseille soap: a patented formula to soothe sensitive skin
Too harsh, irritating, and unsuitable for repeated use: despite its many advantages, traditional Marseille soap also has drawbacks. Those with dry and sensitive skin should avoid this product, which can cause irritation and redness.
Indeed, the alkaline pH of Marseille soap can disrupt the skin's pH, and cause dermatological problems for people with sensitive skin.
Heirs to a know-how dating back to 1828, our master soap makers are receptive to innovations that allow us to best meet your needs. It is with this in mind that they have succeeded in developing a unique manufacturing technique to make our Marseille soap an ally for sensitive skin.
Traditionally, the glycerin naturally produced during saponification was extracted from the mixture. Using modern analytical methods, our master soap makers have developed a process that preserves the precise amount of glycerin in our products.
Thanks to this patented manufacturing technique, our Rampal Latour Marseille soap acquires the protective and moisturizing properties of glycerin without the need for any additives. Furthermore, this unique characteristic also gives it a particularly pleasant, creamy lather.
Glycerin to protect even the driest skin
Glycerin is an important ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products such as soaps, shaving foams, and skincare creams. Its popularity stems from its ability to improve skin properties through various actions:
Hydration: Glycerin is a humectant that increases skin hydration. It is capable of retaining several times its volume of water, significantly reducing cutaneous water loss.
Skin barrier repair: The glycerol contained in glycerin strengthens the functions of the skin barrier to increase its protective potential.
Anti-irritant: Studies have shown that glycerin is better tolerated than other moisturizers in people with sensitive skin and prevents irritation.
Acceleration of the healing process and thus a reduction in the risk of permeability to viruses and bacteria.
Given the numerous benefits of glycerin, it's important to choose a high-quality product. Conventional cosmetic products often contain synthetic glycerin derived from petroleum. Its impact on your health and the environment is significant. In contrast, the glycerin in Rampal Latour Marseille soap is produced naturally during saponification.
Thanks to its high glycerin content, our Rampal Latour Marseille soap is perfectly suited to sensitive skin. It protects and moisturizes while leaving a pleasant feeling on the face.
