Olive oil soap is a mild and luxurious soap that is excellent for sensitive skin and cleanses thoroughly without over-drying. Sometimes called “castile,” olive oil soap is a traditional soap often found in the open markets of the Mediterranean. If you’ve spent any time in the Mediterranean region, you have undoubtedly encountered these gentle, creamy bars.

Early in 2000, while writing a Master’s thesis in anthropology, founder Mieka Polanco felt the urge to make olive oil soap. Born in the Mediterranean, she learned to love olive oil in all its uses, but in the United States she couldn’t find a decent bar of olive oil soap that she adored.
