Laurel Olive Oil Soap 150g

Our 100% natural olive oil soap typically involves a simple recipe that includes only a few ingredients.

1. **Olive Oil**: The main ingredient in olive oil soap is, Extra virgin olive oil, which is preferred for its purity and beneficial properties for the skin. It’s rich in antioxidants and moisturizing qualities.

2. **Water**: Water is used as a solvent and to facilitate the chemical reaction known as saponification, which turns the oil into soap.

3. **Lye (Sodium Hydroxide)**: Lye is a necessary ingredient in soap making. It’s a strong alkaline substance that reacts with the fats (in this case, olive oil) to form soap through a process called saponification.

That’s it! A basic olive oil soap recipe consists of just these three ingredients.

Our variations include additional ingredients for fragrance, texture, or added skincare benefits. Here are a few optional additions you will find in our natural soap selection

4. **Essential Oils**: Essential oils can be added to provide fragrance and additional therapeutic properties. Popular choices include lavender, tea tree, peppermint, or citrus oils.

5. **Natural Colorants**: If you want to add color to your soap, you can use natural colorants like clay, herbal powders, or spices.

6. **Herbs or Botanicals**: Dried herbs or botanicals can be added to the soap for exfoliation or visual appeal.

We ensure that all ingredients used in the soap-making process are of high quality and suitable for skincare.
