OLIVE DIVA
by Joanne Russell
SCRATCH-MADE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL SOAP AND LOTION
Olive Oil Soap
(Made with 80% extra virgin olive oil)
Small 2.7 oz. $3
Large 4.8 oz. $6
Scratch-made body soap by the old-world method of stirring saponified extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, and palm kernel oil with distilled water to form "real soap." Joanne personally makes her soap by hand. The ingredients are measured by weight and combined at the exact temperature to ensure saponification. Stirring with an immersion blender speeds up the process. Each batch takes 8-10 minutes to convert from oil/salt to soap. The mixture is poured by hand into molds and cured for 3 weeks before cutting into bars. We do not use plastic molds as we prefer custom-made wooden ones. Our soap is the real thing and is made with 80% extra virgin olive oil as the foundation. Use on face and body. Do not get into the eyes as the oil can irritate them.
Olive Oil Lotion
(Made with extra virgin olive oil)
Unscented 8 oz. $15
Lavender 8 oz. $20
Dry, damaged skin can often show signs of premature aging. Therefore what we put in our bodies and on our skin greatly influences how our skin combats the natural aging process. Olive oil is the only botanical oil that actually mimics the skin's natural oil. This remarkable benefit makes extra virgin olive oil the perfect nutrient-rich ingredient for my luxurious body products.
