Thread: Olive Oil Soap

I love olive oil soap, and I'm going back to it 100% of the time now I'm shunning some chemicals in soaps and creams and stuff.

With ridiculously oily skin, it does make me a veritable oil slick, though...

I'm an olive oil producer, I grow around 150 olive threes of the 300 that my grandfather have leave me, and believe me my oil have nothing to do with that you buy in market.
I use olive oil also to dress the salad.
By the way in my area there are many olive oil products, soap,cream, shampoo, and more. Use olive oil is very natural and healthy , maybe not everybody know that olive oil is fat free.

I also had some problems and started nine months ago to use virgine olive oil, results are amazing. it is not expensive ($9 plus shipping) and results are better than with some 50 bucks creams and lotions and similar stuffs. My advice is to try, it can't be harmful any case!

Olive Oil is indeed very natural and healthy, but it is most certainly NOT fat free.

Oil *is* fat - they're the same thing. Olive oil happens to be high in monounsaturated fat.

Yes this it was what I mean for fat free, extra vergine olive oil is vegetable fat and have only healthy fat.

If no one has as yet mentioned it:: PALMOLIVE is a combination of PALM and OLIVE. Olea Europaea, I believe is olive. Might be the reason it's been around so long!(:-)

What kind of olive oil soap do you use? Also I watched your YouTube video online. Very helpful. Especially with the chin. I was going over my chin several times and it would be red and irritated after wards. Also other things you mentioned like constantly drying off your blade in between passes and using a scupper. Very informative video. Better then others that I watched.

That was 3 years ago. They might have all forgotten by now.
