For the past centuries, olive oil soaps are already used by the people for bathing because of the gentle and pure feeling that they experience after wards. In spite of everything, almost all soaps that were created contain some chemicals that are not necessary at all like the detergent. However, vegetable soap is more desirable than soap that is made with an animal fat. People love to use olive oil because it is a good moisturizer and sometimes you no longer have to apply lotion after having a warm bath.
In the past, olive oil soap is widely used because it is not only a skin moisturizer, but it can also remove the stretch marks in any part of the body. Due to the fact that an olive oil is an anti oxidant that contains polyphenol. This element is an anti bacterial and anti fungal substance that is needed until now. Because of the chemicals and pollutions, we need to have something natural in our body. There are various kinds of soaps that are created at present but still, many people prefer to use soaps with olive oil
Using an olive oil soap everyday is already part of the individuals’ daily routine. We are not aware that olive oil is a good makeup remover. Because with the hard content of the makeup, it will easily moisturizer the face making it soft and smoother. There are so many benefits of using olive oil soap not only to our skin but to our health. Olive oil soap has a monounsaturated fat that is healthier than other oil
A castile soap is considered to be olive oil soap because most of its content made use of an olive and very mild to the skin. For mothers, they use soaps that have olive oil content for their babies because they are aware that the skin of their babies is very sensitive. You can choose an olive oil soap that has or no scent, opaque or translucent depending on your choice. However, if you already tried using olive oil soap but still has n effect on your skin, it is suggested that you try to use a castile soap that has the same substance.
When you are tired of looking for an appropriate soap for you, soaps that have olive oil are the best option for you. You no longer have to buy the expensive soaps just to have a smoother and beautiful skin. With the use of soaps with olive oil as part of your daily bathing, you will experience more than what you expect. As long as you use olive oil soaps without shifting to other brands of soaps, your skin will be soft and smooth as time goes by.

As a soap maker, you’ll notice that many soaps will naturally turn out different colors. For example, whenever I’ve added honey to soap, the soap has turned honey-colored. If it is important to you, like it is to me, that your soap is 100% all-natural, you’ll be disappointed with many of the available soap dyes. Why? Because they contain the same chemicals used to color commercial soaps-namely FD&C colors (FD&C stands for Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics). For more details www.greateducationonline.com These are also the ingredients used in food coloring. Some of the known side effects of FD&C colorants include:
* FD&C Red #40 causes lymphomas and tumors
* FD&C Yellow #5 (used in Dial soap) causes allergies, thyroid tumors, lymphomas, chromosomal damage, triggers asthma, hives, and hyperactivity
* FD&C Yellow #6 causes hives, runny nose, nasal congestion, bronchial constriction, anaphylactic reaction, bruising, allergies, and kidney tumors.
* FD&C Green #3 (used in Irish Spring soap) causes bladder tumors
* FD&C Blue #2 causes brain tumors
The only color-true natural soap dyes out there are annatto seed (orange), alkanet root (magenta), retinol (purple), spiraling, seaweed/kelp (all green), vanilla extract, coffee, cocoa powder (all deep brown), red and/or white wine (both make soap pink), carrot juice (orange), pureed cucumber (green), and tomato (peach). For more details www.greatindustrialguide.com These colorants definitely hold up in hand milling and may stand up in cold processing. I also know for sure that beets (reddish-pink) do not work in coloring soap whether used in cold-processing or hand milling. Turmeric (bright yellow) and paprika (orange) can also be used to dye soap with pretty good results.
The only natural soap dyes that I know of made commercially are available from TKB Trading, Cranberry Lane, and Sun Feather Natural Soap Co. TKB Trading offers oil-based natural dyes: oil-based blue (from blue gardenia flowers), oil-based green (from chlorophyll–the stuff that causes grass stains), oil-based red (from beetles or “carmine”–this one is not vegan), and oil-based yellow (from annatto seed). Be aware that TKB Trading has a $20 minimum for orders. Cranberry Lane offers Rating (purple) and Annatto Seeds (yellow). Sun Feather offers powdered natural pigments, which are made of pulverized minerals and plant material. Their offerings include: yellowish-brown (brown ochre), bright white (titanium dioxide), purple (ultramarine purple), earthy green (chromium oxide), earthy yellow (yellow ochre), bright blue (ultramarine blue), and earthy yellow (yellow sienna).
Furthermore, most all color in soap will fade over time. Ironically, reds are known for bleeding. Mineral pigments (and micas) are more likely to fade in the light than others. Do not use things that are not made for soaps, cosmetics, or food, such as crayons, candle dyes, or paint.
