Olive Oil Soaps -
Using olive oil for skin is an ancient
beauty secret, discovered thousands of years ago.
 Once called "liquid
gold" by Homer
olive oil was a commonly used skin care product by
Phoenicians
Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. Olive oil has vitamin E and
oleic acid, which are both beneficial to the skin.
Olive oil's oleic
acid helps to soften the skin, and the vitamin E improves the elasticity
of the skin...
The earliest recipes for Aleppo soap date back to 2400 B.C. Local
villagers harvest the olives and laurel berries,
which grow wild in the
forests of northern Syria and southeast Turkey They then press and boil them. This soft mixture is set in cave-like
storage areas to dry for 6 to 9 months until it hardens into a naturally
green soap that develops a golden outer skin as it ages .
Olive oil soap is hypoallergenic ,it is likely to be gentle on your sensitive skin. Ours olive oil soap contains only natural ingredients, as opposed to many other soaps that contain sodium laurel sulfate, a known skin irritant and potential toxin.
