Marseille Olive Oil Soap Cube, Traditional French Clean Scent Multi-Purpose use on Hands, Body, Laundry or Dishes, Natural, 300 Gram

I ordered one back in May and am just getting to the bottom of it. Yes it did break eventually. No, it wasn't a problem. At first I just used the big pieces. When it got down to only small ones I put them all in old mini dishwasher cup with the spring loaded base (for liquid detergent). It works great. This soap is the real deal and cleans better than any soap I've ever used including Dawn liquid.

I stumbled upon this soap and my intrusive thoughts got the best of me thinking it would be a great idea to have a giant cube as my bar soap for when I shower. Now, I have small hands and this bar of soap is actually like twice the size of a regular bar of soap, because it's a cube. I drop it all the time, but I love using it because it's so unwieldly to use. It's got a nice tactile feeling to roll around in your hands, and you can survey guests to see how they approach the soap bar which makes for a great social experiment. Some people, such as myself, will roll the cube around like a ball, slowly wearing down the corners. Some people will wet their hands and kind of just rub the top, or they'll sandwich it between their two hands and rub the sides with both hands. It's kind of fun. Also since it's so large, I feel like it will last quite a while. Now the soap itself is gentle and cleansing; it feels like it cleans really thoroughly without actually drying out my skin. I have sensitive skin and it seems to really love this soap, both for body and face. There isn't much of a scent to it besides what I can describe as just a "light, clean scent" which is great for people who may be sensitive to fragrances.

Price and quality are unbeatable! Don't dry sensitive skin, has neutral scent and no chemicals.

Suds up great, cuts grease really well. Makes my dishes sparkly clean. I pair this with a bamboo brush! My photo is a week or two after using it. Wooden base is from a different soap company. Works great

One star removed for bad packing. I read the reviews, so expected a banged up block of soap. It's so unfortunate that they refuse to protect this very expensive soap. I bought it for dish washing, so don't care about the dents, and it wasn't too dented to use so I kept the bar. My initial thought regarding the scent was that it smelled like old cooking oil. Unpleasant. However, I let it air out for a while outside of the plastic and it ends up smelling like Dr. Bronners or other unscented soaps. It works remarkably well. I have soft water so your results might be different. I put it in a soap dish, I rub the washcloth, or glass sponge directly on the soap block, and just one swipe washes several dishes. No soap residue left on the dishes. To soak dishes in bubbly water, just hold the block under hot running water and it will give you a sink full of soapy water. The bubbles don't last as long, but the dishes still get a soapy soak. It's a very hard block so I'm hoping it will last a long time and I'll update after it runs out. It's made in France. Comes in a plastic wrap, and a paper box.

Lasts forever! Works really well and hypoallergenic. I have a betaine allergy so I can’t use most dish soaps but this one is safe and gentle and does the job! I’ve had the same one for 3 months and it’s nowhere near empty; very good value for the money.

Using dish soap without buying into plastic holding mostly water is a win in my world. It takes a little getting used to but as I am trying everyday not to purchase plastic when it's NOT necessary...this is a great option. Lather is good, has a light clean smell and lathers well.

I wish I saw the other reviews prior to purchasing. It’s listed as “olive oil soap” however it contains zero olive oil. The ingredients are palm oil. It also smells absolutely awful like burning tar or oil. Will be returning and reporting to Amazon for false advertising.

Lovely soap! Great size and oh so kind to my hands!!

Not only is this beautiful, it can be used to clean almost everything! With no fragrance, this is gentle and smells just clean. An economical and waste-free choice, it has replaced all cleaners in plastic bottles in our home. Don't hesitate trying it!

Très très bien!

This soap is nice. It arrived this morning and have not had a chance to do anything with it other than wash my hands but it left a nice moisturized feel. HOWEVER - on my quest to find the most authentic "savon de marseille", I don't think I found it here. Brand name and manufacture contact are in washington USA. Confusing stuff to be sure. My hunt continues.

Will buy over and over, works great!
