A new factory for the production of Marseille soap, both traditional and innovative.
This modern factory highlights Marseille soap, as it is within these new walls that all our Marseille soaps are produced. We have invested in a new production line to provide all the necessary conditions for the integral manufacture of an exceptional Marseille soap: both respectful of tradition and resolutely innovative.
Still made in cauldrons according to the "Marseillaise" method, exclusively from 100% vegetable oils, without perfumes, without colorants, without additives and without preservatives, Rampal Latour Marseille soaps respect the tradition passed down to us from generation to generation. But today our Marseille soaps are also gentler on the skin and nature.
An innovative process
Kinder to skin because, after 3 years of research, we have developed in this modern factory a new manufacturing process that allows us to retain glycerin, known for its protective and moisturizing properties, in the heart of the soap. Kinder to Nature because this new process consumes up to 7 times less energy and up to 4 times less water. Thus, this new factory allows us to innovate and rediscover all the authenticity of the tradition of our Marseille soap.
A new factory offering self-guided or guided tours.
It is in a spirit of openness and exchange with our consumers that we open our doors for visits. We will be delighted to welcome you with family or friends. Our factory store will offer all of our products for direct sale. We are open Monday to Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. You will discover Marseille soaps, shampoo-showers and black soaps made on site, as well as our perfumed soaps and laundry flakes made in the historic factory, still in operation, located in the city center of Salon de Provence.
You can also freely explore our interactive visitor's path to discover "the world of the master soap maker". Vintage stamps used to stamp soaps, videos, and a discovery zone for Marseille soap will immerse you in the history of Marseille soap.
