Natural, handcrafted soap for both face and body, based on the cleansing and nourishing power of extra virgin olive oil. It is enriched with ORGANIC almond oil, which intensively nourishes, while honey leaves the skin supple and soft. Lavender essential oil additionally regulates sebum production, and its scent creates a sense of calm and relaxation. The nourishing, ORGANIC-quality composition of the soap is ideal especially for combination and sensitive skin.

laSaponaria Solid Olive Soap BIO – Honey and Lavender is a gentle solid soap designed for everyday skin cleansing, suitable for both body and face. An olive oil base is popular in skincare for its softening and comfortable feel after washing, making it a pleasant choice even for those who dislike the "tight" sensation after showering. The scent of honey and lavender works harmoniously: honey adds a sweeter, warming note while lavender brings a clean herbal touch that pairs beautifully with both morning and evening rituals. The soap produces a lather that cleanses the skin without being unnecessarily harsh, and can be a good alternative to liquid shower gels. If you're looking for a versatile soap that handles both body and face washing while delighting with a gentle fragrance, this is a very practical choice.

How to Use

When washing your body, wet the soap, work it into a lather in your palms or on a washcloth, and gently spread the foam over your skin, then rinse thoroughly. For the face, I recommend a gentle approach: first lather the soap in your hands and then apply the foam to dampened skin, to avoid unnecessary friction from rubbing the bar directly on your face. Avoid the eye area, and after washing, pat your skin dry with a towel rather than rubbing. You can then apply your usual skincare, such as a moisturiser or serum – especially if your skin is drier or more sensitive. For the face, a brief, gentle cleanse with the lathered soap and a thorough rinse with lukewarm water is ideal. If you're unsure about compatibility, start by using it every other day and observe how your skin responds.

Packaging

The soap comes as a classic solid bar weighing 100 g, which is easy to hold and lasts quite a long time with regular use. Thanks to its solid format, it is also well suited for travel, a gym bag, or a holiday cottage, as there is no risk of spilling like with liquid products. For a longer lifespan, it is essential to let the soap dry out properly after use – ideally on a soap dish with drainage or on a rack where water won't collect. If the bar remains in a damp environment for extended periods, it may soften and be used up more quickly. The biggest difference in longevity comes from storing the soap in a dry place where it can dry out between uses. When the bar gets smaller, you can press the remnants onto a new bar or use them in a soap pouch.

Ingredients

The base is ORGANIC olive oil, valued for its gentleness and pleasant, softening feel on the skin. The fragrant and "caring" element is complemented by honey and lavender – a combination that blends a sweeter tone with herbal clarity, turning washing into a small, soothing ritual. The solid form of the soap also often means a simpler daily routine: you pick up one bar and have a product you can use at the sink and in the shower alike. If you have very sensitive skin, it may be worth supplementing your post-wash routine with a light moisturiser for an even greater sense of comfort.

Additional Info

Solid soap is great for minimalists and for those who want one versatile product in the bathroom for multiple uses. It suits everyday home use as well as situations where you need a practical and compact solution – such as on holiday, camping, or at the gym. If you use the soap on your face, I recommend monitoring your skin's needs throughout the year: in winter it may be worth adding a richer cream, while in summer lighter hydration will suffice. The honey and lavender scent can also pair well with an evening skincare routine, when you want to calm your senses and unwind after a demanding day. Thanks to its versatile use on both body and face, one bar simplifies your hygiene routine at home and on the go.
