The Oils

Olive Oil - Olive oil is soothing to the skin; it heals dry, cracked, rough skin. Olive oil moisturizes the skin by attracting external moisture, holding that moisture close to the skin and forming a breathable film to prevent loss of internal moisture. Olive oil is a particularly wonderful moisturizer, because it does not block any of the natural functions of the skin. The skin is able to sweat, breathe and shed dead skin.

Palm Oil - Palm oil has hardening properties for the soaps and also aids in the lathering. Palm oil is taken from the palm tree frond.

As we mature beyond early adulthood, our skin produces less and less lipids, resulting in wrinkles and more fragile drier skin.
