3 HOLIVE produces exclusively traditional, handmade soaps from 100% Extra Virgin Olive oil in bars of approx. 120gr and 60gr., using the Cold Process method and only premium quality Messenian and Spartan extra Virgin Olive oil. Our soaps are created without boiling the olive oil. In the Cold Process method it is because there is no heating used that all the naturally occurring Glycerin which is produced during the saponification process, remains inside the soap bar. Saponification is not achieved instantly with the use of excessive heating, but it carries on for hours inside the molds. It is a slow method which requires much more time than the Hot Process method, and this is the main reason why it is not used in the Soap Industry where mass production is the goal. The Cold Process method is used only in handmade soaps and it requires great love and care for this art. Our soap is consequently full of all the natural properties of raw olive oil; it is eco friendly and 100% biodegradable. After saponification, it is cut, stamped and packaged by hand, after it has remained in a special room with natural ventilation for 8 weeks to cure and dry. We are among the very few producers who use absolutely no additives and colorings or synthetic fragrances in our soaps, or any other oil, except for fresh, pure, premium Extra Virgin Olive oil.

10 GOAT s MILK Natural 100% Extra Virgin Olive oil soap Since the days of Cleopatra, milk has been used as a luxurious moisturizer. Goat's milk contains proteins, amino acids and Vitamin A to nourish the skin. Goat milk consists of natural emollients and triglycerides that act as natural moisturizer. It is known that goat milk can reduce skin inflammation, and soothes dry and damaged skin. It can reduce wrinkles and delay signs of skin ageing. Goat s milk soap has alpha-hydroxyl acids that soften the skin by breaking down the glue that holds dead skin cells together. Goat s milk has the closest PH level to our skin. This helps protect our skin from invading bacteria and chemicals. Delays signs of skin ageing: Goat's milk soap delays signs of skin ageing due to its high content of alphahydroxyl acids such as lactic acid. Alpha-hydroxyl acids break down dead skin cell bonds, removing dead skin cells from the skin's surface and leaving behind new cells on the surface that appear smoother and more youthful. Not a chemical counterfeit: Water-based soaps on mainstream supermarket shelves use harsh chemical acids to break down dead skin cells. The lasting effect of chemical acids on the skin is more similar to a chemical "burn." Alpha hydroxyl acids found in goat's milk work with the skin instead of breaking it down and ageing it further. Anti-inflammatory properties: Goat's milk reduces skin inflammation due to its fat molecule content. The cream present in goat's milk is a moisturizer, soothing dry and damaged skin, possessing an antiinflammatory effect. Loaded with essentials: Goat's milk is packed full of essential nutrients and vitamins like vitamin D, C, B1, B6, B12, and E, which feed the skin and are absorbed into the body. Treats acne: Studies now show that goat's milk is effective for treating acne and skin conditions. This is primarily because goat's milk has anti-bacterial properties that delay the growth of microbial organisms that spur the spread of acne.
