__t5__ or __t6__, also known as savon de marseille, is a traditional solid soap made from vegetable oils that has been produced in the region for around 600 years. historical records suggest the first soap maker in the area was likely active around 1370. in 1688, under the edict of colbert, regulations were introduced stipulating that the name savon de marseille could only be used for soaps made with olive oil. following this law, the regulations were subsequently revised to allow the use of other vegetable oils. __t7__

In 1913, production reached 180,000 units, and by 1924, there were a total of 132 soap manufacturers operating in the marseille and salon-de-provence regions.

Production [ | ]

Within the traditional production framework, this soap is made by mixing the received olive oil and alkaline chemicals with soda ash ( ) and lye ( ) in a large cauldron (which usually results in approximately 8 tons of production). after this mixture is continuously stirred and heated for several days. the mixture, which is kept until it is ready, is then poured into a mold to allow it to settle a bit. the soap, which is still in a soft structure, is divided into pieces and stamped, and then left to completely solidify. all this process can take up to a month.
