好用的马赛皂 User-friendly Marseille Soap

含72%橄榄油的马赛皂超滋润保湿的，可以舒缓皮肤干痒的不适感， 是我的常备皂, 也是我最有信心的手工皂，若不确定试用者的肤质， 给他马赛皂就对了。

很多人不喜欢马赛皂， 原因是它容易软烂， 快消耗。这是由于按照传统比例制作的关系：

72% 橄榄油， 18% 椰子油， 10% 棕榈油。

为此我稍微修改配方， 依然是72%橄榄油，可是提高了椰子油的比例以增加硬度， 再搭配其他硬油。此外，拉长晾皂期使水分充分蒸发， 这样就比较好用了。

不过高含量的橄榄油可能会引起面疱， 还是不建议给油性皮肤者使用， 否则痘痘越洗越多哩！

Marseille soap carries 72% olive oil thus is super moisturizing, it is good for soothing skin irritation that caused by dryness. Hence it is always my anytime ready item as well as my most confident soap. Should I am not sure of the skin type of any prospect user, I will just recommend Marseille soap.

Many users do not like Marseille soap because it is very soft and melts too fast. This is due to its traditional oil ratio :

72% olive oil, 18% coconut oil and 10% palm oil.

Therefore I make a little change to the recipe to raise the soap hardness. First I increase the coconut oil ratio and combine with some hard oil, while still maintain 72% olive oil. Additionally, lengthen the curing period to allow water content to completely evaporate. All these changes aim to make Marseille soap more user-friendly.

No doubt Marseille soap is superb for dry to normal skin, but not suitable for oily skin because high levels of olive oil may cause acne.
