Olive Oil Soap

Originally from the Mediterranean, olive oil soap has been produced for thousands of years. Often known as ‘Greek soap’, it takes its beneficial properties from olive oil, which forms its base. This oil is full of antioxidants and vitamins, making it extremely nourishing for our skin.

Even though it is not always from Greece, olive oil soap is still well-loved for its many different uses.

The benefits of olive oil soap:

• It softens, moisturises and is suitable for sensitive skin.
• It removes bacteria and dirt.
• It soothes eczema, psoriasis and very dry skin.
• It combats free radicals, giving it rejuvenating properties.

How is it used?

You can use olive oil soap in many forms – it’s up to you. Or choose a wild olive oil soap, which is completely multipurpose and can be used for anything, from makeup removal to washing the floor.

For your hands

Liquid olive oil soap or bars rid your hands of dirt without drying them out.

For your body

Thanks to its moisturising properties, olive oil soap can be used to gently clean your whole body as a replacement for traditional shower gel.

For your face

You can cleanse and moisturise dry skin effectively if you opt for an olive oil soap that’s designed for the face. In addition to cleansing, it can also be used as a gentle makeup remover – it removes makeup from sensitive skin, cleansing and moisturising it.

Olive oil is slightly comedogenic, which means that it can block pores. If you have greasy or acne-prone skin, olive oil soap might not be the best choice for your complexion – instead go for non-comedogenic cosmetics.

Olive oil-based soap for your hair

Many people also swear by using olive oil soap instead of shampoo. It gently removes dirt from your hair and, most of all, it is extremely kind to your scalp.

For laundry and cleaning

You will most often come across olive oil soap for laundry in milled or flake form. It dissolves easily in warm water and its gentle nature makes it a great option for washing your baby’s clothes or fragile fabrics and wool. It can also be used for washing the dishes, the floor or wooden furniture!
