History of Olive Oil Soap
The roots of soap manufacturing can be traced back in Ancient Greece at the Aegean island of Lesvos. In this island, animals sacrifices took places in order to honor the Gods. After a heavy rain, a yellow residue from the pile of ashes started rolling down the hill - where the Temple was found - and ended up in a nearby river. The local women while washing their clothes in the river observed that their clothes became cleaner when the waters of the river had a yellowish color.
History records that poetess Sappho mentioned in her writings the action of this yellowish liquid. The Greeks in order to honor her, invented the term "Saponification", which stems from the name of the poetess. This is also the chemical term which describes the creation of soap.
Since then, pure soap from olive oil was born. Thus, every Greek household manufactured its own homemade olive oil soap.
Benefits of Olive Oil soap
Olive oil soap cleans the skin without stripping away the natural oils. Olive oil also allows the skin to sweat and shed cells naturally; commercial soaps that contain synthetic cleaners and fragrances can block your pores and cause irritation.
Glycerin, a byproduct of the soap-making process, is retained in most natural olive oil soaps. Glycerin is highly moisturizing.
Olive oil soap is hypoallergenic, so it is less likely to experience an allergic reaction when using it. Moreover, it is a natural source of the antioxidants vitamins E and A, which fight free radicals - and the benefits are there regardless of whether the oil is ingested or rubbed into the skin in the form of soap. Olive oil soap also contains oleocanthal, a compound touted for its anti-inflammatory benefits.
