  What is SLS? SLS, also known as Sodium Laureth Sulfate, is a harsh surfactant which acts to lower surface tension between chemical compounds and active ingredients allowing for a more thorough cleansing. Therefore, it is used as a cleaning and foaming agent in most detergents and sadly… soap!   What’s the harm? SLS should be avoided whenever possible; especially for those with sensitive skin or specific conditions such as eczema or psoriasis for instance. Indeed, this may trigger skin reaction.   What about A La Maison? At A La Maison de Provence, we do not use SLS. It goes entirely against our core values and quality standards. Moreover, we believe that SLS is not necessary nor the only surfactant...

Today, A La Maison de Provence is one of the fastest growing body-care lines in North America.

Medieval soap makers cutting the Marseille soap by hand.   In 1370, in the throes of the Middle Ages, Crescas Davin became the first and official Marseille soap master to be registered using the ancient artisan process. By the 17th century, the Thirty Years War had caused major misery and shortages in soap for many European countries, such as Spain. Marseille had to pick...

French Milled soap is known to be the finest quality. Not only is it plant based, but it is smooth on your skin and so gentle that it lathers very easily, even in hard water! The milling process is key to achieve the level of quality and homogeneity. Other soaps may not have these properties, other soaps may be animal or petroleum-based. Step 1: Saponification It all begins with the saponification process where vegetable oils (coconut oil and/or olive oil, RSPO Palm, shea butter, argan oil) are mixed with water and various salts in a kettle and heated to get rid of excess moisture.   Step 2: Cooling The saponified mix then cools down from concentrated soap to a warm...
