Olive oil has been used for centuries in the soap making process, so it’s not just something that you cook with or put on your salad!

Olive oil is known to have great properties for soap products, such as providing a creamy lather and being extremely conditioning. As a soft oil, it can take a lot longer to cure but still makes a really hard bar of soap, like for example a castile soap.

Under hot water on it’s own, an olive oil soap will simply melt away, so it isn’t the best for a long lasting product.
