Natural, handcrafted soap for face and body, based on the cleansing and nourishing power of extra virgin olive oil. It is enriched with ORGANIC calendula extract, oats and chamomile, which regenerate, soften and soothe irritation. Petitgrain essential oil gives the soap a delicate, citrusy scent that evokes a feeling of freshness and pleasant relaxation. The nourishing, ORGANIC-quality composition of the soap is ideal especially for delicate and sensitive skin.

laSaponaria Solid Olive Soap BIO – Calendula and Oats (100 g) is a gentle natural soap suitable for everyday washing of the body and face. Thanks to its olive oil base, it is gentle on the skin, leaving it pleasantly soft, and is ideal for moments when you want to cleanse your skin without unnecessary drying. Calendula is traditionally sought after for its soothing care and oats are often used for comfort and softness, making the soap a good choice for more sensitive skin or during periods when the skin is under greater stress (for example in winter, after sport or after spending time outdoors). The solid form is practical, easy to use and fits perfectly into a minimalist bathroom routine. If you want one versatile soap that can handle both showering and gentle face washing, this combination of olive, calendula and oats makes a lot of sense.

Use

Wet the soap in your palms and create a gentle lather, which you then apply to the skin of your body or face. When using on the face, I recommend being gentle, avoiding vigorous rubbing, and then rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. After washing, it is advisable to dry the skin by patting with a towel (not rubbing) and, if needed, follow up with moisturising care – such as a cream, lotion or oil, especially if you have drier skin. To make the soap last longer, allow it to dry thoroughly between uses on a soap dish with drainage; when travelling, a sealable box works well once the soap is at least partially dry. The gentlest results are achieved by lathering the soap in your palms and applying only a light foam to the face.

Packaging

The soap weighs 100 g, which is a practical format for everyday use at home and while travelling. The solid bar saves space in the bathroom, is easy to handle and, thanks to its concentration, typically lasts longer than conventional liquid cleansers when stored properly. To preserve its quality and pleasant consistency, it is essential not to leave the soap sitting in water; ideal options include a soap dish with a grid or drainage, or a dry spot on the edge of the sink or in the shower away from the direct stream of water. If you also use the soap on your face, you may wish to reserve it solely for that purpose and store it separately for even more hygienic use. Proper drying is the simplest trick for getting the most out of your soap and extending its lifespan.

Ingredients

The base is ORGANIC-quality olive soap, complemented by calendula and oats, which are valued for their soothing and softening properties. The olive oil base contributes to gentle cleansing and a pleasant feeling on the skin, making the soap suitable for more frequent use. Calendula is popular in the care of sensitive or stressed skin, and oats are often chosen for a feeling of softness and comfort, which you will appreciate on both the body and the face. The scent of this type of soap tends to be subtle and clean, so as not to overpower your other skincare products.

Additional info

The solid olive soap is well suited to a simple, functional routine – it can replace shower gel and a facial cleanser alike, especially if you prefer a minimalist approach. Thanks to its gently nourishing character, it also works well as a cleansing option after sport, while travelling or at a country cottage, where you will appreciate its compactness and versatility. If you have very dry or reactive skin, treat the soap as a cleansing step and follow up with richer moisturisation; for the face, it can be pleasant to follow with a toner and cream. In case of irritation, or if you know you react to certain plant-based ingredients, I recommend first performing a patch test on a small area. It is a practical choice for anyone who wants one gentle bar in the bathroom for both body and face, while also enjoying the soothing combination of calendula and oats.
