Le Moulin à Grain artisan soapmaker

Not only is Salon-de-Provence home to two traditional soap factories but there’s also an artisan soapmaker making natural soap through cold saponification.

Artisan soapmaker

Visit the artisan soapmaker in the heart of Salon-de-Provence town centre. The workshop is in a former royal factory (1747)

Plant-based oil alone is used to make the soap. No palm oil, colourants or preservatives. Handmade soap, 100% natural origin The site sets the scene for the oldest Savon de Marseille legacy in Salon-de-Provence (1882).

Savonnerie du Moulin a Grain was a hub for importing Aleppo soap until 2010. We’ve always stayed true to our roots and kept things fresh so we use the cold saponification method to showcase our craft in Salon-de-Provence.
