Werfzeep olive soap - 100 g

Item number: 8718657190235 View all from Werfzeep > View more: Soap & Shower Gel > Olive soap is very mild due to the high percentage of olein (oleic acid) in olive oil. This makes it lather gently without large bubbles and nourishes your skin, making it hydrating and softening. Olive oil has been saponified for thousands of years. We saponify cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil from Spain, along with homemade olive leaf hydrolate from Puglia. In spring, Andreas from the beautiful Puglian organic olive grove La Lamia sends us a huge supply of fresh olive leaves. We distil these in our soap studio into wonderfully softening and restorative olive leaf hydrolate. Soon you can find more about this on our blog. Our olive soap contains no essential oils, which is pleasant if you don't like strong scents or are allergic to most essential oils. Olive soap is naturally allergen-free.

Product specifications - Olive soap Item description Item number 8718657190235 Version Olive soap Product type Solid soap Country of origin The Netherlands Environmental information about Werfzeep Werfzeep originated in 2009 from Evelien's love for old crafts and natural products. During a trip through Canada that she and Laurens took, she ended up on an idyllic family farm where, among other things, soap was made, with a ladle and a huge pot. The wooden house smelled magically wonderful, and on the very first day, Evelien helped make soap. To her surprise, this handmade soap, which was in the shower and by the sink, was soft and nourishing for her skin. Plagued by eczema since childhood, soap had been out of the question for years, but this soap turned out to be a completely different story from anything she had encountered until then, which mainly gave her tight skin. Soap made from oils is a completely different product than factory soap made from refined fatty acids, with additives such as foam improvers, synthetic perfumes, and preservatives, from which the glycerin has also been skimmed off. This discovery was enough for Evelien to become completely captivated by soap, the craft of soap making, all possible ingredients, and its effect on the skin. She started developing her soaps in a historic wharf cellar on the Oudegracht in Utrecht. Now, eight years later, she works with a growing team in the beautiful soap studio on the Westerkade.
