Our Olive Oil Soaps |
Why use olive oil soaps?
For starters, they are organic. Almost since the beginning of known
history, olive oil has been recognised as an excellent moisturiser. It
attracts external moisture, holds it close to the skin, and forms a
breathable film to prevent loss of internal moisture from the body. Olive
oil does not block the skin's natural properties, and, more important, it
has its own healing properties. So soap made with olive oil has always
been sought after.
Olive oil soaps has been used over time for the most delicate of skins.
That means babies. In Europe, especially in France, it is the most
popular soap for fine lingerie. Our olive oil soap uses a centuries old
recipe to which we have added Vitamin E and, in some case, Shea
butter. So we offer it. For babies, and, for you! The basis is cold
pressed virgin olive oil. Our basic recipe uses no scent nor colouring.
However, some of you want an extremely moisturising and mild olive oil
base soap but with a little extra scent and oomph. So we have made a
soap which incorporates all the goodness of olive oil but with a few more
added ingredients for added refreshing qualities. The choice is up to
you.We're even working on more.
Price per bar: $5.00

| This is one of our most refreshing soaps because of the peppermint oil it contains in addition to the olive oil. This cooling and refreshing peppermint essential oil is used in aromatherapy to stimulate the mind, increase mental agility and to increase focus, while cooling the skin, reducing redness and calming irritation and itchiness. We just had to make a soap containing this. |

| Peppermint Paradise |
| Our absolutely purest, "Non Scents"soap. This is our version of Castile soap, also known as "savon de Marseille" one of the oldest and purest traditions in soap-making. Naturally retains water. Ultra moisturising and gentle. Totally pure. No colourant, no fragrance. Its pale light yellow or greenish colour is due strictly to the colour of the first cold pressed olive oil it contains. |
| Then to make it even more soothing we have added tea tree oil and eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is said to have a cooling effect upon the emotions and to help in concentration (We should have used more when we were studying math). Plus it is antibacterial. Both peppermint and eucalyptus have a very slight menthol smell which seems to please and satisfy many of our customers. We have tinted this soap with a natural dye to make it a very pale heavenly blue as a gentle reminder that it just may be a tiny glimpse of paradise We have added peppermint leaves because many of our customers prefer soaps that contain leaves that they perceive to be beneficial That's the case with peppermint leaves. However, when we add these,this soap has a tendency to become slightly more aqua over time. The leaves give it a slightly more greenish hue which is actually also very pretty. That's what happens when one uses natural products. Ingredients: olive oil soap base, peppermint, eucalyptus and tea tree essential oils, peppermint leaves,colourant |
| we want to sell only the freshest, we make only a very small amount at a time. So the olive oil which we use in the base may not always come from the same origin which accounts for the difference in shading. Only first cold pressed virgin olive oil is used. Safe even for babies. Because olive oil picks up so much water from the ambient air, it is more than likely it will become more opaque over time. That simply means it contains even more moisture. Or that we made it too long lasting and you haven't had time to use it up. Since some people do not like to see the soap become opaque, we offer the exact same pure soap with added Shea butter. Shea butter nourishes the skin with Vitamins A, E and F. Vitamins A and E help maintain the skin and keep it clear and healthy whereas Vitamin F acts as a skin protector which soothes rough, dry or chapped skin. So it's only more goodness that we add. But it does make the soap opaque from the get go. We used to make this soap in various Celtic moulds but have now changed. Still we thought you would like to know what it looks like. We think it even looks prettier now. Ingredients: olive oil base, aloe vera, Vitamin E, (and Shea butter on special order) |
