olive oil (ol-iv oil): noun A fruit oil obtained from the olive (Olea europaea; family Oleaceae along with lilacs, jasmine and ash trees), a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin. It is commonly used in cooking, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soaps and as a fuel for traditional oil lamps. Olive oil is healthier than other sources of alimentary fat because of its high content of monounsaturated fat (mainly oleic acid) and polyphenols. Topical application is quite popular with fans of natural health remedies. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the preferred grade for moisturizing the skin, especially when used in the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM). OCM is a method of cleansing and moisturizing the face with a mixture of extra virgin olive oil, castor oil (or another suitable carrier oil) and a select blend of essential oils. Jeanne Calment, who holds the record for the longest confirmed lifespan, reportedly attributed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance (for her age) to olive oil, which she said she poured on all her food and rubbed into her skin. pure (pyoor): adj. Free from anything of a different, inferior, or contaminating kind; free from extraneous matter. castile (ca-steel): noun A variety of mild soap, made from olive oil and sodium hydroxide.

Customer Testimonials:

I have been loving your soap since I started using it about two weeks ago. Every winter for the past few years, I've had a patch of sorta dry skin on my arm. It's not flaky or itchy and I can only feel it when I pass my hand over it so I don't think about it much. Occasionally I've tried putting some ...lotion on it. The other day I noticed that since I've been using soap from Soap Alchemy exclusively, that area on my arm is no longer feeling dry. I'm very impressed! I love, love, love the lavender soap and, oh yes, the spearmint, too. Now I'm looking forward to opening a bar of Vanilla Oatmeal.

I just want to share some positive feedback with you regarding your product. My skin is VERY sensitive! I can not use soap from the regular grocery store or even from some health food stores. It seems like if there is one unnatural ingredient in a soap, my body knows and it is not pleased. So I tried your lovely Rose-Geranium soap. Not only do I love it but my skin does too! I was VERY reluctant to try it because of previous experience with products that are supposed to be 'natural.' Your staff assured me that your stuff is the real deal though so, I gave it a try. I'm glad I did!
