Where did grandma soap come from?

This is the traditional soap used in the old grandmother's time. We can wash the whole body from the hair to the soles of our feet with a bar of soap. Crystal soap, which is still on the market now, is its representative and the originator of many bath products. It is made of animal fat mixed with alkali and water.

Grandma soap, commonly known as modern natural handmade soap, is a "pure olive soap" made of pure olive oil with the ratio of 100% without any oil, and this formula is the original formula of ancient Marseille soap (the original Marseille soap is made of 100% olive oil+alkali+sea salt), but now the "pure olive soap" only changes sea salt into water. The natural handmade pure olive soap made by cold method is mild and non-irritating, and rich in moisturizing ingredient-glycerol, which is the most primitive and moisturizing handmade soap. Anyone who has used it can feel that its care for the skin is soft and delicate, which is what Marseille original soap lacks. Glycerol has a powerful moisturizing function, and olive oil itself is rich in oleic acid and flax oleic acid. Because oleic acid and flax oleic acid are delicate molecules, they are easy to nourish the skin, have the functions of moisturizing and repairing the skin, and are indispensable to the human body. So the soap made of olive oil will make the skin smooth and tender after washing. Can make the skin zero burden, and has great effect on people with allergic skin, children or people with delicate skin, and the elderly with dry skin.

However, the soap made of olive oil from different producing areas and different refining methods has slightly different effects. Generally, pure natural olive oil (Oliva Virgen or Oliva Virgen Extra), also known as "cold pressed olive oil", is a way to make olive oil. The olive oil produced by this method has a high grade in Europe, because it is obtained from an oil press for the first time. Because the olive oil produced in this way will not destroy its original components and retain its natural advantages, it is primary oil and the highest grade olive oil.

As for refined or reprocessed olive oil, it is extracted from the residual olive residue squeezed by the mill, and finally mixed with a little olive oil to make ordinary pure olive oil, also known as refined olive oil; Because of its low cost and cheap price, the soap made is not as good as cold pressed olive oil.
