The natural resources of Provence are ideal for soap making: abundant olive oil, soda and sel de mer from the Camargue salt flats”, says Laurence Clavier, the head of marketing and communications for Marius Fabre. “The local Savon de Marseille has been manufactured in Provence for a thousand years, but it was only during the time of Louis XIV that soap-making became a protected French heritage product.” That’s why Julie and Marie, along with the three other remaining authentic manufacturers of true Savons de Marseille, have instigated a movement to win the right to add an IGP ( Indication Géographique Protégée) label. This would guarantee that the soaps bearing the label have no added fragrance, colour or additives; follow the specific 1673 manufacturing process; and that they’re made in or around Marseille. Although Marius Fabre already carry the prestigious EPV (Enterprise du Patrimoine Vivant, or Living Heritage Company) designation, the company have no way of educating the public about their products, except through their factory museum and tours of their original Salon-de-Provence facility.
