Calendula, better known as the Marigold, has a honeyed, slightly hoppy aroma, making for an invigorating soap. Mediterranean people have long known about the moisturizing properties of olive oil. The Greeks used to bathe in olive oil! In the 13th century, soap-making became a trade. Greece and France became the earliest soap-making centers. Their plentiful supplies of olive oil allowed them to produce the first soaps. The use of olive oil in soap making remained the basic ingredient for the next 4 to 5 centuries.
Despite a strong sun, there is a low incidence of skin cancer among Mediterranean people. Olive oil has a well-known anti-oxidant effect that has brought it international acclaim for skin care. Skin and hair cleansed with olive oil soap retains moisture, resilience, suppleness and brightness. This creamy soap will keep you clean and refreshed all day.
