Sustainable Product Spotlight: South of France
Sustainable soap and foaming hand wash with a beautiful story! We are proud to feature South of France in this week’s blog. Read on to learn about how the formula was developed in France using a traditional Marseille triple-milled recipe.
Formula from a French Expatriate
South of France® Natural Body Care was founded in 1999. Since then, it has become one of the top-selling brands of all natural bar soaps and liquid hand soaps sold nationally. The original South of France soap formula was developed by a French expatriate in the US and manufactured in France using a traditional Marseille triple-milled recipe. Today, South of France® soap is manufactured in the USA, still kettle cooked in small batches using this traditional Marseille recipe with all natural vegetable ingredients.
The Owners
South of France Natural Body Care is owned by two sisters, Molly & Katherine Oliver. As mothers, with a love of Provence and a legacy in natural products, they continue to expand the collection with scents that evoke happy memories of times spent wandering through small towns, picnic-ing in the countryside and playing with their children on the beaches along the Mediterranean sea. They hope to transport you with these luxuriously experiential products, even if only for a quick daydream in your pampering morning shower experience!
