Good to know : The authentic handmade Marseille soap can present some particularities linked to its production. Here are some examples:

The weight: The weight of the soap can vary because it is measured on fresh soap which loses weight while drying. Thus, it is possible that a 300g soap weighs only 270g after drying. This does not affect the quality of the soap and the more it dries, the better it is.

The degree of drying: Soap is produced on a just-in-time basis, so its degree of drying can vary depending on the date of production. A recent soap will be wetter than an older soap. If a soap seems too soft, just let it air dry.

White film: A white film may appear on quality unrefined soaps depending on the moisture content. This is not mold, but a residue from the manufacturing process. It can be removed by running the soap under water and scrubbing it. It is a sign of quality.

Color: The color of the soap can vary depending on the oils used. Olive oil soaps will lighten as they dry, while coconut oil soaps may turn orange-yellow. These variations are natural and unique to unrefined handmade soaps.
