There is nothing better than a handmade, natural glycerin-rich, olive oil soap to effectively moisturize and care for your skin, leaving it soft and smooth. It may be a little more expensive than the common, conventional soaps on the market, but it will definitely reward you. Once you use it, you will never buy commercial soaps from the supermarket again.

The main reasons why handmade natural olive oil soaps are better than other conventional industrial soaps are that they are produced with 100% natural ingredients, and organic olive oil in a percentage greater than 90% and contain natural essential oils and herbal extracts that give natural shades and distinctive aromas. They are prepared with the cold saponification method, where the excellent properties of organic olive oil and other natural ingredients are largely preserved.

They contain natural glycerin, which cleanses and softens the skin without removing its natural, beneficial oils. Real soaps are made with natural ingredients and have their own natural glycerin. Their main ingredient is organic olive oil, which is rich in antioxidants and nutrients for skin rejuvenation. They are made using the cold saponification method and contain real essential oils or herbal extracts or other natural ingredients.

Natural olive oil soap is:
Moisturizing: It has softening and moisturizing properties and revitalizes the skin. It does not irritate or dry out the skin.
Anti-aging: Olive oil contains oleic acid and polyphenols that improve the texture and tone of the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and protect the skin's natural oils.
Hypoallergenic: It is skin-friendly and does not cause redness or irritation.
Healthy skin: Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and enhances the repair of damage caused by free radicals in the skin.
Gentle makeup remover: Gently and effectively removes makeup without irritating the skin.
Rich in vitamins: Olive oil is rich in vitamins E and A, which improve the appearance of the skin. Its content in beta-carotene can stimulate the creation of new cells, slow down the development of wrinkles, giving the skin a youthful appearance.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Helps heal the skin, relieves skin rashes and sunburns.
Suitable for daily use: Its pure, natural ingredients make it ideal for daily use, for the whole family and for all skin types.
Therapeutic properties: Relieves skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis and reduces acne. It is not greasy and does not clog pores.
Deeply cleanses: Olive oil soap leaves a real feeling of cleanliness on the skin.

If you want glowing and hydrated skin, then handmade natural olive oil soap is the secret.

Industrial soaps contain chemical additives for coloring and fragrance. They contain largely or entirely fatty acids, mainly animal fats. That is why they are cheaper.
They are produced using the hot saponification method, where the natural glycerin is separated and removed in order to promote it in other beauty products.
They are harder and drier, and not particularly skin-friendly.
If you are using a commercial soap and notice that it dries your skin, or your skin is tight or itchy, then change it immediately.
Also, don't forget that the skin absorbs everything it comes into contact with. Frequent and chronic use of chemical soaps and other chemical body and facial care products stores toxins in the body with harmful long-term consequences.

When you visit a supermarket or any other store with soaps, cream soaps or shower gels, it would be a good idea to carefully check the labels of the products you choose. Don't be impressed by a colorful packaging or a low price. Check the ingredients, see how many cheap oils (soy, animal fats) and synthetic petrochemicals they contain. Ask, get informed, read the labels carefully and avoid suspicious ingredients. We would recommend avoiding such soaps. The vast majority of cheap products on the shelf contain synthetic foaming agents, fragrances and active chemicals. Not only are they not good for the skin, but they also significantly burden the planet. Many cosmetics industries remove the natural glycerin produced during the saponification process in order to use it in other cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. The reason? Because natural glycerin is a highly profitable substance. In addition, low-quality oils and fats are used, resulting in soaps that become hard and cause irritation.

Most commercial soaps contain little or no olive oil because it is expensive. So it is usually replaced with processed olive pomace oil. Natural soaps have as their main ingredient organic olive oil as well as other truly natural ingredients directly from nature's pharmacy.
Great attention is required to the aromatic oils that you read on the packaging. If an ingredient sounds herbal, it does not necessarily mean that it is. Keep in mind that truly natural essential oils and herbal extracts (especially if they are from organic crops) are expensive, which is why they are replaced with synthetic fragrances in laboratories.

If you find the following synthetic additives on the labels of the soaps you buy, it is best to avoid them:

Triclosan
Tetrasodium
Triethanolamine
Propylene glycol
Butylene glycol
Parabens
Tetrochemicals and paraffin oils
Isopropyl Alcohol
Isothiazolinone

Every day we disrupt the natural pH balance of the skin with chemical soaps and care products. They may be considered to have a neutral pH of 5.5, just like our skin, but the truth is that only natural products are truly beneficial.
