An Honest Bar Of Soap
Our journey to create these soaps stemmed from a personal desire for a product that truly cares for the skin—free from harsh chemicals and filled with the goodness of nature. After years of development and personal use, we believe these soaps offer a cleansing experience that is as gentle as it is effective, with benefits you can feel.
At Frantoio Grove, our journey into body care began with a simple question: Why are so many commercial soaps so harsh on our skin? We found that many mass-produced soaps strip away the skin's natural oils, leaving it dry, irritated, and unprotected. This realization set us on a mission to create something better—something honest.
Our journey wasn't just about making soap; it was about redefining what soap could be. We knew that true body care starts with ingredients that nourish, not chemicals that strip. So, we turned to the wisdom of nature and the power of botanicals. Inspired by the rich traditions of Mediterranean skincare, where olive oil has been a cornerstone for centuries, we began crafting soaps that relied on the gentle, moisturizing properties of our estate-produced extra virgin olive oil.
But we didn’t stop there. We explored the benefits of other natural ingredients—lavender for its calming scent, activated charcoal for its purifying power, sake kasu for its brightening properties, and rose for its soothing effects. Each ingredient was carefully selected for its ability to enhance the skin’s natural beauty and health, without the need for synthetic additives or harsh chemicals.
The result? A collection of soaps that are as honest as they are effective. Each bar is a testament to our commitment to creating body care products that are gentle on the skin, respectful of nature, and made with the same care and attention as our award-winning olive oil. At Frantoio Grove, we believe that what you put on your skin should be as pure and nourishing as what you put in your body. That’s why our soaps are handmade, using only the finest natural ingredients, to offer you a cleansing experience that’s both luxurious and kind to your skin.
Join us on our journey, and experience the difference that an honest bar of soap can make.
FAQs
Frantoio Grove soaps are handcrafted using traditional methods and organic ingredients, with a focus on using extra virgin olive oil as the base. Unlike many commercial soaps that rely on synthetic additives and harsh chemicals, our soaps are made with pure, natural ingredients that nourish and protect your skin. The result is a gentle, moisturizing cleanse that leaves your skin feeling soft, hydrated, and healthy.
Superfatting is the process of adding extra oils or fats to soap during production, which remain unsaponified in the final product. This extra oil provides additional moisturizing benefits, making the soap more nourishing for the skin. Our superfat soaps are particularly hydrating, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and protected.
Yes, our soaps are ideal for sensitive skin. We use organic extra virgin olive oil as the primary ingredient, which is known for its gentle, hypoallergenic properties. Our soaps are free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals, making them a safe and soothing option for even the most sensitive skin types.
Our handmade soaps typically have a shelf life of about 12 to 18 months if stored properly. To extend their longevity, keep the soaps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage helps maintain the integrity of the natural ingredients and ensures the soap remains effective and fragrant.
To prolong the life of your soap, it’s important to store it in a well-drained soap dish that allows it to dry completely between uses. Avoid letting the soap sit in water, as this can cause it to soften and dissolve more quickly. Cutting the soap into smaller pieces and using one at a time is another effective way to extend its usability.
Yes, all Frantoio Grove soaps are vegan and cruelty-free. We use only plant-based ingredients and do not test our products on animals. Our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices ensures that our soaps are kind to both your skin and the environment.

Olive oil is rich in vitamins A and E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, all of which contribute to healthy, glowing skin. In soap, olive oil acts as a natural moisturizer, helping to maintain the skin’s hydration and softness. It’s also known for its gentle cleansing properties, making it ideal for sensitive or dry skin. Our olive oil soaps cleanse without stripping away the skin’s natural oils, leaving your skin feeling balanced and nourished.
