Directions from packaging:

This is the authentic Marseille Olive Oil soap created from an ancestral manufacturing process. It is 100% vegetal, 100% natural and should not be confused with typical soaps that contain fragrance, synthetic chemicals and additives that dry out your skin. The unique fabrication of this soap makes it soft and tender. The presence of 72% olive oil considerably reduces the overall alkaline pH that is primarily responsible for skin dryness.
