Christmas is coming to the French Soap Store
September 15, 2021

We’re putting the finishing touches to our festive soap bar gift sets and starting to feel all Christmassy here at the French Soap Store. We’ve got some fabulous treats in store for you!

Have you started planning your gift list yet? Our traditional French soap bars will make perfect presents to give your loved ones, friends, colleagues and neighbours.

Here are eight reasons to give our natural French bar soap gifts this Christmas.

Natural-French-soap1. Our handcrafted soap is 100% natural.

Our traditional, handcrafted soap bars contain no worrying chemicals, artificial ingredients or fillers; just skin-loving oils, therapeutic plant-based ingredients and sublime natural aromatic extracts. (Read more: What is natural soap and why should you use it?)

2. High quality bar soap is a luxurious treat

There’s something truly pleasurable about using a fresh bar of pure traditionally made soap with its uplifting fragrance and the feeling of the creamy nourishing lather it creates on contact with water. Our traditional handcrafted soaps from Provence are a real delight for the senses.

Plastic free July3. Our soap bars are eco-friendly

Our natural French soap bars are sustainable, entirely plastic free and kind to the planet. Handcrafted from natural ingredients in the traditional way, with no unnecessary waste, the solid soap bars are a perfect gift for anyone who wants to cut back on all the single-use plastic in their bathroom. (Read more: Three top reasons to switch to solid natural soap bars).

4. Natural French soap is a useful gift

Traditionally-made natural French soap is a thoughtful, original gift that will be well-received, especially as everyone is handwashing more frequently these days. Our soap bars are so gentle, attractive and deliciously-scented they are guaranteed to be used and enjoyed.

5. We have soap bar gifts for every budget and every body

Our natural and sustainable French market gift soaps are the perfect size for stylish stocking fillers and little treats; while our luxury sets of different soap bars are the ultimate pampering treat for someone special.

6. Natural solid soap is a gift that keeps on giving

Our traditional French market soaps don’t just look and smell gorgeous, they last a lot longer than ordinary, mass produced soaps. The organic shea butter in many of our soaps gives the bars extra structure and longevity too.

7. You’ll be supporting traditional artisan soap makers

By choosing our natural French soaps you’ll be supporting traditional artisan soap makers in Provence, who operate small businesses like ours. You’ll also be buying something made with loving care and passion using centuries-old ancient and natural processing methods.

Gift-box8. Have your soap bar gifts delivered for you

Simply order your natural soap bars here online and we’ll arrange the delivery for you. There’s no better way to delight friends, family and relatives than by surprising them with a gift of traditional French soaps sent straight to their door. It shows that even far away, you’re still thinking about them and sending loving thoughts and wishes.

Christmas is the perfect opportunity to introduce your friends and family to all the benefits of natural solid soaps traditionally handmade by artisans in Provence. We look forward to bringing you all our festive gift ideas soon.

#PlasticFreeJuly: switch to natural soap bars
July 1, 2021

#PlasticFreeJulyAre you taking part in #PlasticFreeJuly this year? Switching to our natural solid soap bars is a great way to reduce plastic waste.

Plastic Free July is a global annual campaign which encourages people to cut down on single use plastic and help to protect the planet.

The problem is even everyday tasks, like washing our hands, our hair or our home, can use numerous plastic bottles of shower gel, liquid soap, shampoo and detergent. That adds up to a lot of plastic, especially if you’re part of a large family.

So, how can you use less plastic? One simple step is to simply replace your plastic products with solid bars of soap, like the natural soap bars we stock here at the French Soap Store.

Our natural French zero-waste soaps are free from plastic and chemicals, which makes them better for the environment and better for your skin too.

Did you know you can shampoo with a solid bar of soap? Our organic solid French shampoo soap bars are the ideal plastic-free alternative to bottled shampoo. They last for ages too. Each one is chemical-free and handmade using nourishing natural oils.

You can clean just about everything with our traditional SAVON DE MARSEILLE. This handcrafted soap block is naturally anti-bacterial and can be used to clean everything from stone floors and delicate clothes. It’s so gentle on the skin, fabrics and the environment, we just add grated soap flakes directly to the wash.

Lose your bottle and choose solid soap

So, go on, take part in #PlasticFreeJuly and treat yourself to some natural plastic-free soap.
