The Origin of Handmade Soap
Marseille soap or Savon de Marseille originated in France and is made solely from vegetable oils. It has strong cleansing and moisturizing properties. This soap traditionally contains 72% fatty acid produced from olive oil only. In the 17th century, Louis XIV of France introduced regulations on the production of Savon de Marseille. The Marseille area had a total of 90 soap factories in the 19th century, pioneering the era of the chemical industry. Production reached a peak at 180,000 tons by 1913, but had loses its appeal with the rapid growth of mainstream cleansing products since 1950.

手工皂的来源 - 马赛皂（法语：Savon de Marseille)
马赛皂源自法国，是一种清洁能力强，用于身体保湿的香皂。它是通过精炼植物油以及氢氧化钠进行皂化而成的产品。传统马赛皂的必要指标就是必须含有仅从橄榄油中制得的72%的脂肪酸。在十七世纪，法国的路易十六规定了这种香皂的制作标准。到了十九世纪，马赛地区拥有90家制皂厂，这个兴盛的产业处于化学领域的前列。1913年其产量达到18万吨，攀上巅峰。1950年以后，主流清洁剂的迅猛发展则加速了马赛皂的衰败。
