Sennelier's Extra-Soft Pastels were created over three years at the turn of the 20th century, and the result was the creation of one of the most extensive chromatic range of pastels. These pastels are comfortable to hold and allow large areas to be covered with a lush, luxurious colour.

Each pastel is composed of high-quality pure pigment and a natural transparent binder. Increasing amounts of mineral fines are added for gradient shades, ultimately tending towards white. The exceptional brightness results from the pigment and the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905 and have been used ever since.

The manufacturing process of the Sennelier cylindrical pastel does not compress the paste, and the pastel dries naturally in the open air.
