    Made using 100% natural ingredients and fragrance-free, our soap is perfect for delicate skin and those with chemical sensitivities. People have used olive oil soap for shiny hair and soft skin since ancient times. Why not update your own personal care routine with this simple, natural, classic cleanser today?

    Why Use Natural Soap?

    Pure olive oil soap is one of the best cleansers for dry skin. It feels buttery and smooth, and helps your skin retain moisture for longer while providing a gentle and thorough cleansing. People with eczema and psoriasis often use olive oil soap to ease itching and combat dryness. Our recipe is created with additional oil to sooth, smooth and moisturise even the most delicate skin. Olive oil is also rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties. We use cold-pressed olive oil for our soap bars to retain the nourishing nutrients in the oil. The result is a mild and soothing soap that slowly repairs the skin. It’s suitable for damaged or sunburned skin, and safe for children and babies. We make two types of natural olive oil soap. What's the difference, you ask? Our best-selling variety includes olive leaf extract to enhance the antibacterial properties of our recipe, which makes it a great option for acne-prone skin. Unlike many anti-acne products, our soap won't dry out your skin which can lead to acne problems increasing over time. You can read more about the properties of olive leaf extract here.

    Try It for Yourself

  • Tasty and Conveniently Sized Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Australian-Made Olive Oil

    Our premium olive oil compares favourably with the exacting standards of high quality foreign oils so you can savour the taste of terroir while appreciating its local origins and low food miles. Like premium wines, extra virgin cold pressed olive oil made from different olive varieties will taste different, and the same varieties grown in different locations will also taste different! Our every day olive oil is a mix of Corregiola and Frantoio varieties. However, unlike wine, extra virgin cold pressed olive oil should not be stored for long periods of time because the quality and health benefits will deteriorate. Look for a harvest date in the same year as you are making your purchase, or a best before date of no more than two years in the future. You can enjoy our flavourful, healthy oil by drizzling it over a meal or use it to sauté and fry foods. Fresh olive oil is one of the most stable oils for cooking because of the high smoke point. It's suitable for baking savoury or sweet dishes. Our favourite is to drizzle it over steamed vegetables before sprinkling them with some dried Italian herbs like oregano or basil for extra flavour. Simple and delicious! If you'd like more olive oil recipes, you can join our mailing list here.
