Our range includes several different styles of French soap, each with its own character, ingredients, presentation and retail appeal.
If you’re new to French Soap Wholesale, this guide will help you understand the main differences.
125g French Soaps
These are our colourful, fragranced everyday soaps and one of the easiest ranges for retailers to sell.
They offer:
- a wide choice of fragrances
- attractive colours
- traditional embossed presentation
- strong gift-shop appeal
- easy mix-and-match merchandising
Many retailers start here because customers enjoy choosing soaps by fragrance, colour or simply by picking up something that smells wonderful.
Savon de Marseille Cubes
Our traditional 300g Savon de Marseille cubes are very different from the fragranced 125g range.
They are classic Marseille soaps made in the traditional style and are particularly suited to customers looking for:
- traditional French soap
- simple ingredients
- heritage products
- practical everyday use
- naturally presented products
These are an excellent addition for shops wanting something genuinely traditional alongside the more colourful fragranced ranges.
Organic Donkey Milk Soaps
Our 100g donkey milk soaps have a softer beauty and skincare positioning.
They are particularly popular with customers looking for:
- gentle-feeling soap
- traditional French beauty products
- giftable skincare
- something a little different from standard soap ranges
They work particularly well in gift shops, pharmacies, beauty retailers and lifestyle stores.
100% Natural French Soaps
This range is designed for retailers looking for soaps with a particularly strong natural-product story.
These soaps are useful for customers who prioritise:
- natural ingredients
- simpler formulations
- traditional presentation
- environmentally conscious buying
They sit nicely alongside Savon de Marseille and Aleppo soaps.
Soap on a Rope
Soap on a Rope gives retailers something visually different and highly giftable.
The range includes hanging soaps as well as our traditional rotating soap-on-a-rope format.
These products are especially useful for:
- gift displays
- bathrooms and kitchens
- customers looking for unusual French products
- creating visual interest within a soap display
Aleppo Soaps
Aleppo soap has its own long tradition and is quite different from fragranced Marseille-style soaps.
We offer both:
- 125g Aleppo soaps
- Traditional 200g Aleppo soap with 20% laurel oil
These products appeal particularly to customers interested in traditional soap-making, olive oil and laurel-oil soaps, and heritage skincare products.
Tandem Dual-Sided Soaps
Our 125g Tandem soaps combine two sides or functions in one bar.
They offer something more unusual than a standard fragranced soap and can work well as:
- gifts
- talking-point products
- additions to a broader French soap display
They are particularly useful if you want your range to include something customers may not have seen before.
Savon de Marseille Flakes
Soap flakes are a traditional household product rather than a personal washing soap.
They are generally used for laundry and household cleaning and appeal to customers looking for:
- traditional laundry products
- simple household alternatives
- French heritage products
- practical non-beauty uses for Marseille soap
2kg Savon de Marseille Bulk Bar
Our 2kg olive Savon de Marseille bar is a traditional bulk format.
Retailers can sell it as a complete piece or, depending on their own setup and local requirements, use it as part of a traditional cut-to-size soap display.
It makes a strong visual statement and reinforces the heritage side of a French soap range.
French Guest Soaps
Our 60g donkey milk guest soaps are a smaller format suited to:
- guest bathrooms
- hotels and accommodation
- small gifts
- gift baskets
- lower-price impulse purchases
Their smaller size also makes them useful for customers who want to try a French soap without committing to a larger bar.
Occasion and Seasonal Soaps
This range includes products created for particular seasons, celebrations or gifting occasions.
These can be useful for:
- Christmas
- Mother’s Day
- seasonal displays
- themed gift baskets
- short-term promotional ranges
Availability can vary throughout the year.
Which ranges should I start with?
For many retailers, a good first selection combines:
- colourful 125g French Soaps
- a traditional product such as Savon de Marseille
- one specialist range such as Donkey Milk, Aleppo or Natural soaps
This gives customers a choice between fragrance, tradition and specialist skincare-style products without making the display too complicated.
