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.

Regardless of your choice of fragrance, these hand soaps are gentle and leave your hands feeling soft. I will order again for myself and give as gifts. I keep one by my kitchen sink, too.
