Pure Olive Oil - Light Lather, Moisturizing

Our Frantoio Grove Sake Kasu 100% Olive Oil Soap is a great introduction to the unique skincare benefits of sake kasu. Handcrafted with care on our Regenerative Organic farm, this soap brings together the deep moisturizing properties of our extra virgin olive oil and the nourishing power of sake kasu—an ingredient cherished for its skincare benefits in Japan.

Sake kasu, the lees left over from sake production, are rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are highly beneficial for the skin. In Japan, sake brewers are often noted for their exceptionally smooth and youthful skin, a phenomenon attributed to their prolonged contact with sake kasu. This observation has led to the use of sake kasu in various skincare products, valued for its ability to brighten, moisturize, and protect the skin.

The natural enzymes and antioxidants found in sake kasu help to gently exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter, more even complexion. Its moisturizing properties work in harmony with the extra virgin olive oil in our soap, ensuring that your skin remains hydrated, soft, and nourished after each use.

Our Sake Kasu 100% Olive Oil Soap is crafted with simplicity and purity in mind. We use only organic, high-quality ingredients without any synthetic additives, fragrances, or colors. This makes our soap not only effective but also safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Ingredients: Saponified Frantoio Grove EVOO, Water, Sake Lees, Essential Oils (Ylang Ylang, Myrrh, Benzoin).

How To Use

To experience the full benefits of our handmade soap, follow these steps:

  1. Lathering: Wet the soap and rub it between your hands or onto a soft washcloth to create a rich, creamy lather. Due to the high content of extra virgin olive oil, our soap produces a gentle lather that cleanses without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
  2. Cleansing: Apply the lather to your skin in gentle, circular motions. Our soap's unique blend of ingredients, including olive, coconut, and castor oils, works to cleanse deeply while maintaining your skin's moisture balance. The coconut oil contributes to a bubbly lather, while castor oil adds a luxurious, creamy texture.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with warm water, ensuring that all traces of soap are removed. You’ll notice how soft and smooth your skin feels after rinsing, thanks to the moisturizing properties of the olive oil.

Post-Cleansing: For best results, follow up with a moisturizer to lock in the hydration and nourish your skin further.

What To Expect From Our Soaps

  • Gentle Cleansing: Our soaps provide a gentle yet effective cleanse, removing dirt and impurities without drying out your skin. The high olive oil content ensures that your skin's natural moisture barrier is maintained, while the added oils create a pleasant, bubbly lather.
  • Natural Scent: We use essential oils to provide a subtle, natural fragrance that enhances your cleansing experience without overwhelming your senses. The scent is a reflection of the pure, natural ingredients used in our soap.
  • Long-Lasting Bars: Our soaps are crafted to be dense and long-lasting. With proper care, a single bar can provide weeks of luxurious cleansing.

Caring For Your Handmade Castile Soaps

To ensure that your handmade soap lasts as long as possible and continues to deliver a luxurious experience:

  1. Keep It Dry: After each use, store your soap in a well-drained soap dish that allows air to circulate around the bar. This helps prevent the soap from becoming soggy and ensures it dries out completely between uses.
  2. Cut It Down: For extended use, consider cutting your soap bar into smaller pieces. This allows you to use one piece at a time while keeping the rest fresh.
  3. Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Don’t leave your soap in standing water or in direct contact with water when not in use. This can cause the soap to dissolve more quickly.
