Item number: 8718657190235 View all Werfzeep products > View more: Soap & Shower Gel > Olive oil soap is very mild due to the high percentage of oleic acid in olive oil. This allows it to lather smoothly without large bubbles and nourish your skin, providing hydration and softening benefits. Olive oil has been saponified for thousands of years. We saponify cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Spain with home-distilled olive leaf hydrosol from Puglia. In the spring, Andreas from the beautiful organic olive grove La Lamia in Puglia sends us a huge supply of fresh olive leaf. We distill this in our soap studio into a wonderfully soothing and restorative olive leaf hydrosol. You'll find more information about this on our blog soon. Our olive oil soap does not contain essential oils, which is great if you don't like strong fragrances or are allergic to most essential oils. Olive oil soap is naturally allergen-free. Suitable for very sensitive skin. Ingredients: saponified olive oil*; water; olive leaf hydrolate×. inci (same as on packaging, international nomenclature): sodium olivate*, aqua, olea europaea leaf water×. *certified organic, ×from olive grove 'La Lamia' in Puglia.

Product specifications - Olive soap Item description Item number 8718657190235 Version Olive soap Product type Solid soap Country of origin Netherlands Environmental information about Werfzeep arose in 2009 from Evelien's love for old crafts and natural products. During a trip through Canada that she and Laurens made, she ended up on an idyllic family farm where, among other things, soap was made, with a ladle and a huge pan. The wooden house smelled like a fairytale, and on the very first day Evelien helped make soap. To her surprise, this handmade soap, which lay in the shower and by the sink, was soft and caring for her skin. Troubled with eczema from a young age, soap had been a no-go for years, but this soap proved to be a completely different story than anything she'd encountered before, which mainly left her with tight skin. Soap made from oils is a completely different product than factory-made soap made from refined fatty acids, with additives like foam enhancers, synthetic perfumes, and preservatives, from which the glycerin has also been skimmed off. This discovery was enough for Evelien to become completely captivated by soap, artisanal soap-making, all its possible ingredients, and its effects on the skin. She began developing her soaps in a historic wharf cellar on Utrecht's Oudegracht canal. Now, eight years later, she works with a growing team in the beautiful soap studio on Westerkade.
