This soap is simply made with olive oil. No bells and whistles, no fragrances, no colours. It's a mild, hard soap that gets milder and harder the longer it cures, and can be used on anything that can be washed: hands, clothes, pets, dishes. This type of soap has been around since at least 300 AD and has travelled the globe since, leaving people sparkling clean in their wake. 

These soaps have been curing for a minimum of six weeks.

Ingredients

Olive oil, sodium hydroxide, sodium lactate.

What are these ingredients?

Base oils: These are the oils that form the bulk of the soap. They are mixed with lye (sodium hydroxide) and become soap through the process of saponification.

Sodium hydroxide (NaOH): Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda or lye, is the alkaline component of the saponification process. It is neutralised as it combines with the oils to form soap.

Sodium lactate: A natural byproduct of fermenting vegetable sugars, sodium lactate hardens soap and helps it to come loose from the mould. It also acts as a natural preservative and lengthens the shelf life of each bar.

Fragrances: I use both essential oils and synthetic fragrances in my soaps. These are what give the soaps their delicious scents.

Colours: I use a combination of liquid and powder skin-safe cosmetic-grade pigments, including oxides and micas.
