savon de Marseille brut

Cosmia's raw Marseille soap is a 200 g traditional French cleansing bar marketed as a pure, unrefined soap. Its formula consists of saponified palm-oil derivatives (sodium palmate and sodium palm kernelate), water, glycerin, sodium chloride, and a small amount of preservatives (tetrasodium glutamate diacetate and tetrasodium etidronate) that give it a high pH but also provide basic cleansing power and a modest moisturizing boost from glycerin. While the soap offers effective cleaning and a simple ingredient list, the reliance on palm-oil derivatives raises sustainability concerns and the high alkalinity may irritate very sensitive or dry skin, making it less suitable for those with such conditions.
