Extra Virgin Olive Oil
The heart of the formula. Selected for its conditioning character, Mediterranean heritage and naturally rich composition.
Cold-process soap
Made slowly.
Made slowly.
Made with purpose.
Our soap begins with a considered blend of extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil — ingredients chosen not for trends, but for the role each one brings to the finished bar.
Instead of using water as the primary liquid, we use goat milk, adding a softer, richer dimension to the formulation and helping create the creamy character that defines the Olive Orchard Ermione bar.
Crafted in small batches using the cold-process method, each bar is left to cure gradually, allowing time to develop its firmness, balance and naturally formed glycerin.
Coconut Oil
Brings structure, cleansing performance and a fuller lather, helping the bar feel balanced in use.
Castor Oil
Supports a stable, creamy lather and contributes to the smooth, refined feel of the finished soap.
Goat Milk
Used as the primary liquid phase, goat milk adds richness to the formulation and complements the bar’s gentle, creamy character.
Goat milk.
In the liquid phase.
Rather than beginning with a conventional water-based formula, we use goat milk as the primary liquid phase of the soap. It is a deliberate choice that reflects our preference for considered ingredients, traditional methods and a more distinctive sensory experience.
The process
Time is one of our ingredients.
Blend
The oils, goat milk and carefully selected ingredients are precisely measured and combined in small batches.
Pour
The fresh soap is poured into moulds and left undisturbed as the saponification process begins.
Cure
Each bar rests for weeks, gradually becoming firmer, milder and longer-lasting.
Finish
Every bar is inspected, stamped and prepared by hand before it becomes part of the final Olive Orchard experience.
Let the bar breathe.
Keep the soap on a well-draining dish and allow it to dry fully between uses. A little care helps a handcrafted bar remain firm and last longer.
