They never use harsh chemicals and all of their products are Sodium Laurel/ Laureth Sulfate Free, EDTA Free, Phthalate Free and Paraban Free. South of France is also 100% Cruelty Free- we never use animal by-products or test our products on animals.

South of France’s dedication to creating quality products has made them one of the number one selling natural bars in the country today.

I am a major bar soap lover. If you would have told me 6 years ago, that I would stop using body wash, gels and creams, I probably would have laughed and rolled my eyes. I always felt like that was the only thing that woudl get me clean. The problem was that, I felt I needed to be stripped of all bad and good oils to feel clean. Well that just simply isn’t the case. You want to leave the nourishing oils on your skin, and only clean the dirt and grime away.

That is precisely what South of France Soaps do. Even their body wash left my skin feeling clean but not tight and dry. And with all of the scents they have, you are sure to find one you will like.

The South of France French Milled traditional soap is 100% vegetable oil based, containing soothing oils and moisturizing Shea butter in a long lasting 8.8 oz. bar. Infused with fragrances and essential oils, these rich lathering, cruelty-free bars are produced using a traditional recipe from Provence.

I tested the Honey, and it is just as the site says. Creamy, rich later, with just the right amount of scent. Because this bar is made with such amazing moisturizing benefits, make sure you keep it in a soap tray, away from moisture, or you might find it melty when you return!

I also tried out their liquid hand soaps. The South of France Liquid Soaps are a high lathering soap made with a special blend of premium vegetable oils. The soaps are kettle cooked in small batches following a traditional French recipe.

Lavender, Lemon Mint, Orange Blossom Honey, Green Tea and Shea Butter are infused with luxurious fragrances. I in my awe over the scent of the Orange Blossom Honey. It is the perfect blend of citrus and sweet. I ran out of my favorite hand soap in the kitchen and this became a great replacement. Cleans, but doesn’t leave my hands and nails extremely dried out.

I also tried out their Acai Pomegranate Body Wash and Body Lotion. South of France maintains their own special blend of premium of ingredients including all natural vegetable oils enhanced with natural anti-oxidants.

The wash left my skin nice and clean, but again, not squeaky clean. It has such an awakening scent. It smells clean and refreshing, which is exactly what it does for the skin. The lotion left my skin extremely moisturized and nicely scented. I don’t like my lotions to over power with scent, and this has a great level.
