Fer à Cheval
Marseille, France
French for “horseshoe,” Fer à Cheval was founded in an era when it was customary to choose names associated with good luck. And good luck they’ve had—Fer à Cheval has been operating since 1856 and is now the oldest soap company in Marseille to continuously use traditional, age-old methods. These hard soaps are crafted using four simple ingredients: sea water, vegetable oil, ash, and lye. The result is natural, certified organic, gentle products beloved for their simple goodness.

Love this soap!
This has become my favorite soap.. the fragrance is light, it lathers nicely.and best of all it is so gentle.. does not leave my skin dry, Which is important as I wash my hands so frequently now; my sister has extremely sensitive skin, and is amazed that she can use this soap without a reaction!
Love them!
