Compagnie de Provence

Compagnie de Provence is an award-winning sustainable beauty brand from France using 95% natural ingredients inspired by Provence and the Mediterranean Sea, new to the UK

Famous for their authentic Marseille Cube Soap, enriched with vegetal oils that are brewed in a cauldron since its earliest days. Simple, natural and effective, it provides solutions for all your everyday needs, from every day washing of your hands and body, to washing delicate laundry and even to cleaning floors. 

Then came the birth of the Liquid Marseille Soap, made from the same vegetable oils (and still in a cauldron!), it now comes in an ultra-stylist sustainable glass pump bottle (that also has refills and makes the perfect vase when finished), which underlines the modernity that’s always been at the brands heart. One every minute is sold somewhere in the world!

Now the weather has taken a cold turn its time to give your hands some TLC. Here are some product suggestions from the range. I would love to send you samples to try out. Please let me know and I will organise.
