Le Petit Marseillais body wash and soap

Le Petit Marseillais is an iconic French personal care brand known for its commitment to natural ingredients and Mediterranean-inspired scents. Founded in 1982 by Bernard Lengellé in Avignon, the brand was inspired by the traditional 'Savon de Marseille' (Marseille soap) and the aromatic flora of the Provence region. It quickly became a staple in French households for its simple, authentic approach to skin and hair care.

In 2006, the brand was acquired by the American multinational Johnson & Johnson, which helped expand its presence throughout Europe and international markets. As of 2023, the brand is owned by Kenvue, which was formed as a spin-off of Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health division. While the brand maintains its French identity and continues significant manufacturing in France, its international distribution is managed through Kenvue’s global supply chain network.
