And instead of fabric softener I use one tablespoon of white vinegar 😊

1. Empty bottle 2. A funnel 3. Large pan 4. 45 grams Marseille soap flakes 5. 3 table spoons of baking soda 6. 3 liters of water ❤

Interesting recipe 😊

If you put your soap in the microwave for about a minute, it will expand and get very crumbly. It is much easier to get it into small pieces and mix with your other ingredients that way. In Texas, USA, I use Fels-Naphtha soap.

Bravissima! Appena finisco il mio seguirò la tua ricetta!!

Another lovely video from my favorite KZreadr ❤ So glad to have found your channel, as I'm on my own minimalist journey & your channel helps a lot 😊 I have a question regarding your recipe, can we substitute marseille soap with castile soap ?

@louisefroideval

Thank you so much Anika for your kind words ❤️ I am really happy to help and inspire others towards a more sustainable, positive and simple life ☀️ Yes it is possible to use Castille soap, make sure that the list of ingredients is short and it’s better to buy an organic one ☺️

Hi everyone! I live in cyprus and there are no french brands here. Ordering marseille soap from amazon will destroy the whole attempt to make it cheap and eco-friendly. Can you guys describe what is special about marseille soap? Can i just find any natural olive oil soap? (We ahve lots of olive oil here, but the oil soaps that i ussualy see are like hand-made and/or super fancy. Thank you! Loved the video❤

@louisefroideval

Yes definitely agree about that sorry for only talking about Marseille soap but that is the only one I use for this recipe, but I think any 72% olive oil soap (organic would be way better) could do a great work! 😊

Hey this sounds great! I'm really curious about this ...how did you find this recipe? What do you mean by saying that it is more ecofriendly? Because of the ingredients or because of the bottle being reused? Thanks!

Hey! I found this recipe in a French book of natural diy’s ☺️ But my grandmothers used to do this recipe too. It is ecofriendly to both reasons, and especially because the ingredients are completely natural and with no endocrine disruptors or perfume to damage your health ☺️

Hi! I only found you over a week ago and am loving these videos! I had decided to sell all my belongings a few weeks before I found out that this 'ultra minimalist' lifestyle was already being lived by others :) I have a quick question about your soap-- why is green Marseille soap better? Thank you!

@louisefroideval

3 ай бұрын

Hi!! Welcome and I’m glad that you’re enjoying my videos 😃 Haha yes you are definitely not alone is this minimalist lifestyle! ☀️ Marseille soap must be green because it is made with olive oil, so if it’s not green it’s made from multiple cheap oils 😉
