Olive Oil (including refined and extra-virgin forms)

Olive oil is prized for its high oleic acid content — a monounsaturated fat that supports the skin barrier, leaves the skin feeling soft, and creates a creamy, mild lather in soap. Even refined olive oil retains these key fatty acids that make it such a classic soap ingredient.

What it does for skin:

  • Supports natural skin-barrier function
  • Provides gentle conditioning
  • Adds creaminess to lather
  • Reduces moisture loss
