MARSEILLE UNICORN SOAP FACTORY
Go there and contact
This beautiful museum dedicated to Marseille soap and its manufacture will plunge you into the history of this Marseilles heritage.
Not to be missed: the Musée de la Savonnerie de la Licorne on the Old Port (Criée side), where you can take part in the production process by appointment. La Savonnerie de la Licorne soaps are 72% pure olive oil, as tradition demands. Dermatologically tested for sensitive skin. Real Marseille soap, because Serge Bruna, grandson of a soap-maker, has always been passionate about the ancestral production of real Marseille soap. Prepared the old-fashioned way in a small factory on the Cours Julien, using machines from the last century, you'll discover all the steps and secrets involved in soap-making as you take part in a guided tour of the workshop (offered several times a day). To make your own washing powder, there's a simple recipe: grate the soap into shavings, about 3 tablespoons for 2 liters of water (washing powder shavings also on sale in the store). An ecological and economical plus. La Licorne soaps come in a wide range of fragrances, shapes (pétanque ball, sardine, etc.) and sizes. A number of related products are also available, such as a pretty soap dish that will undoubtedly grace your bathroom. Conveniently, there are a total of 4 boutiques in the city, giving you maximum opportunity to get your hands on the sesame (one of them is even very close to the MUCEM and the Panier). La Savonnerie de la Licorne, an unmissable institution in Marseille!
