Greek Olive Oil Soap

Greek Olive Oil (Face and Body) Unscented
6 Oz

This Olive oil soap is very mild, long-lasting and can be used full strength on any skin type to help retain moisture and elasticity. It is no surprise that olive oil soap soothes and nourishes the skin because it takes advantage of the natural moisturising properties of olive oil. Back in the days before soap was invented, it is said that when the ancient Egyptians wanted to clean themselves, they spread olive oil on their skin.


The olive oil stuck to the dirt, and could then be scraped away. Olive oil has been used in soap making for thousands of years. Olive oil, like all fats and oils, is transformed into soap by adding lye (soda ash is very similar to lye. The gentleness of olive oil and its ability to act as a humectant and draw moisture from the air to your skin makes this soap wonderful to use. This is a very nice everyday mild soap with out any fragrance oils just lots of wonderful lather. Cretan olive oil and a little coconut to make it a bit harder with extra lather, Great for the face
