Olive Oil (Pure)
$16.95
Olive oil is pressed from the fruit of the olive tree and is one of the most widely used oils in traditional soap making. Many makers choose it because it contributes conditioning qualities and helps create balanced, gentle soap bars. It is often used as a primary oil in soap recipes and blends well with both solid fats and lighter carrier oils.
About this ingredient
Refined olive oil is typically pale golden to light yellow with a very mild aroma. Compared with extra virgin varieties, refined olive oil has a more neutral scent and color, making it easier to work into fragranced formulations. In soap making, it contributes conditioning qualities and helps support a stable, creamy lather.
