Craft soap factory
Discover the Artisan Savonnier located in the heart of downtown Salon-de-Provence.
Discover the Artisan Savonnier located in the heart of downtown Salon-de-Provence.
The workshop is located in a former royal factory (1747)
The soaps are conceived only with vegetable oils. No palm oil, no coloring, no preservatives. Handmade soaps, 100% natural origin. In this place, we find the oldest history of Marseille soap in Salon-de-Provence (1882).
The Moulin a Grain Soapery was also a hub in the import of Aleppo soap until 2010. Today and always in an approach of authenticity and renewal, we introduce the method of cold saponification as a signature of our true craft in Salon-de-Provence.
