What is Olive Oil Soap and The Benefits to Using It
When hearing the words "olive oil," your first thought is naturally food, but olive oil is also great in soap. Olive oil is deeply moisturizing so it's only natural that it found its way into soap. At Pure Placid we love olive oil soap.
Why Use Olive Oil in Soap?
Olive oil falls under two specific categories: refined and unrefined. Extra virgin olive oil is extracted from olives via a cold-pressed method. This method retains more of the natural vitamins and minerals and is considered an unrefined oil as it has not been heated nor treated with chemicals during extraction.
Let's Talk Olive Oil Soap
If we compare commercial soap to olive oil soap, you'll immediately notice that the olive oil soap feels a lot gentler on the skin. While olive oil soap doesn't lather the same as traditional soap, it has an almost creamy lather consistency which goes hand in hand with how moisturizing it feels on the skin. There are many skincare benefits to using olive oil soap including being deeply moisturizing, naturally anti-aging, and good for skin conditions like acne and psoriasis.
Can I Use Olive Oil Soap on My Face?
Yes. In fact, olive oil soap is ideal for use on the face due to the high levels of antioxidants. This helps keep your complexion even and bright from wash to wash.
