Green Olive Soap is made of olive pomace oil which contains the olive chlorophyll. Therefore, the soap is green when is fresh, hence its name. However, the color fades on the outer layer as soap dries and matures. This soap is reputed for its thorough cleansing, while being friendly to the skin. It makes an excellent top to toe cleanser for all ages. * The soaps are registered as Vegan at VeganSociety. Further information at https://www.vegansociety.com/ * All soaps contain only grade 3 and 6 olive oils (no refined olive oil or pure oleic acid) produced on Corfu. This is saponified only with sodium hydroxide, water and sea salt. No preservatives or EDTA. * You will not find any red, yellow, violet, blue or other colored soaps. The color of our soaps is created by the “maturation process” in a natural way. * Our soaps do not smell like lavender, lemon, rose, orange or fresh mown grass. You just smell of olives (oil) The vegan and hand-picked green olive soap is produced without any addition of colorants, preservatives and fragrances exclusively from the natural products of olive pomace oil (the oil is extracted from the kernels, peelings and pulp residues), soda, water and salt. It is ideal for body care and hair washing, due to its antiseptic properties – which is just one of the many uses It gets its green color exclusively from the contained chlorophyll of the olive peel. The effect of light on the chlorophyll “oxidizes” the surface of the previously olive green soap to the typical ocher-yellow hue, while leaving the interior of the soap olive green. The thickness of the ocher layer – the patina – marks the age and maturity of the soap.
