As I owe you a favour for a shrub, I have 2 x Savon de Marseille of
300
grammes each, which is 72% huile d'olive, I will send them to you on
Monday.

JudithL at home

p.s. I am off to France on 7th February for a few days, does anyone
want me to bring any back? If so email me and if you live locally,
i.e. Norfolk, I will deliver it free.

I see it's available from
http://www.moosie.co.uk/soaps/savdemars.asp

Damned expensive way to wash one's face, if you ask me, but you didn't.
While doing the brief Ggl, I was shocked but not surprised (if that's
not an oxymoron) to see that the Body Shop sells something it calls
"olive soap" which is actually just ordinary palm oil soap with a trace
of olive oil: another reason, apart from the nauseating smell, to avoid
the Body Shop.


The Nyons soap has a very high percentage of olive oil, can't remember what
it is at the mo. Not meaning to cast aspersions on Judith's very nice offer, but
the products are not the same! In any case, the savon de Marseille will certainly
keep you going for a while.

cheers,

I've ordered the Arran product and once I hear back from France about the
Nyonsais shipping costs, I'll order from them, too if it's not too
horrific. It will be interesting to make a comparison and certainly, none
of it will go to waste!
