How to make Marseille style soap at home.
In this video I show you how I make this Marseille style soap. Thank you for watching!
Marseille soap is a traditional vegetable oil based hard soap, produced around the Marseille region in France.
This soap is made with the hot process method. Lye is one of the ingredients used to make soap. Always remember to be careful and follow safety precautions when using lye, gloves and protective eye wear is a must.
Homemade Marseille style soap recipe:
Olive oil 432 g
Coconut oil 168 g
Water 255 g
Lye 84,8 g
(25% lye concentration, 5% superfat)
Optional additives:
Green clay 4 tsp
Sodium lactate 18 g
This recipe makes about 950 g soap.

I made this recipe without the clay and sodium lactate and it came out beautifully. So soft and gentle. More gentle than my real Savon de Marseille from France. I just cut it and used some for washing up. It’s beautiful. Thank you for the recipe!

[@takouar5611]

how long did you cure it please? as it contains a high amount of okive oil I am wondering about the best time to start using this type of soap 🙏🏻

[@lindaschouten7210]

@@takouar5611 hi there, if you cook the soap properly you can use it right after in hardens. With a cold process soap, you will need to wait longer. This soap works very well straight away, although I must say that my bars were a bit soft because there’s quite a bit of water in the recipe. That’s why they are still curing. It’s a lovely soap that foams well. I use it for cleaning in the kitchen. I didn’t add any clay or sodium lactate, so mine is white. You could cook the soap longer or add less water to get a harder bar. You could also add a little salt and baking soda to the water (1/2 teaspoon each for every 315 ml water) which will make the soap more firm.

Absolutely saved this to my soap recipes to make! I am in awe at the simplicity of your soaps that blow my mind because I want the same thing! I just started making soap about 6 weeks ago and the complex recipes and "chemistry" that I've tried so far, are overwhelming to me. I have started doing 1lb batches as of today so I can start to grasp the science behind soap making so I hope I can figure it all out because I love making soap soooo much!

I did a 100% olive oil soap which I cooked on a waterbath for hours. Turned out great, smelled lovely, and helped a friend with allergic skin. Takes forever, but it is a slow process that teaches you all the stages of hot process soapmaking so it is good.

Hi, i really love your simple recipes - 100% coconut, 100% olive and this one. I have some questions: 1. why did you cook this one and not the others? 2. What’s the purpose of measuring the temperature of they lye solution and oil solution before pouring? And what temperature should they be? I tried to look for the answers but haven’t been lucky. Hope you can help. Thank you

Cooking the soap speeds up saponification so you don't have to let it cure as long

Hello there! Great video, music was soothing and matched the process perfectly but may I ask why you cured the soap after cooking it as it looked saponified with the Vaseline texture?

Thank you so much! The curing is more about the water evaporating so that the bar gets harder.
