First of all, what is soap and what does it contain?

Soap is the result of a chemical reaction called "saponification".

Traditionally, caustic soda is added to vegetable oil, and the oil is transformed into a detergent naturally rich in glycerine: soap.

This is an ancient process. And it couldn't be more natural!

Most commercial soaps contain additives, each with specific properties: preservatives, colourings, perfumes, essential oils, antiseptic, antibacterial or antifungal substances, and moisturisers.

Many brands, in order to offer an attractive price, do not hesitate to add fats such as animal fat...

At Rose et Marius, we advise you to carefully read the ingredients of the soap you are going to buy! 

Our company has decided to use only natural vegetable and vegan ingredients.

We also decided to create our own recipe by adding poppy oil and olive oil for their moisturising properties.

This also provides a creamy lather in which our perfume from the Haute Parfumerie de Grasse can develop harmoniously.

How do I store my soap?

Before using it, store it in a dry place, away from light and use it within a year of your purchase.

Indeed, even if it can in principle be kept longer, don't forget that it is a product without preservatives.

In addition, the smell of the plants and flowers and the colour obtained from the vegetable dyes will fade over time.

When you start using your soap, the important thing is to encourage it to dry between uses (using a soap dish with holes in it) and not to let it soak in water.

Soap will soften much faster if it is not dried properly and if many people use it. 

Why are cold process soaps more expensive than supermarket soaps?

These are actually two products that should not be compared!

Industrial soaps are mass-produced in a "hot" process that produces a usable soap in a very short time.

The oils used are denatured by heat and the glycerine is extracted in the liquid phase and sold for use in various cosmetic products.

The volume of handmade production cannot be compared with that of the industry and this obviously has an impact on the price.

At Rose et Marius, our soaps and shampoos are made by hand using a cold saponification process.

They retain their natural glycerin and contain vegetable oils that help the skin to rebuild its natural protection.  

Also note, if you are comparing prices with soaps available in organic shops, that just because a soap is organic does not mean it is necessarily a cold process.

A soap labelled organic may well have been made by an industrial process, which may explain the price difference.
