After months of work with a local soap maker, we are delighted to launch our very first soap. We challenged the soap maker to come up with a pure olive oil soap that contained just our Olive Oil and water. Olive oil has natural antioxidants and makes a creamier lather. We wanted a soap that was soft and gentle on the skin whilst being free of chemicals and additives. After much trial and error we eventually got the right combination (and then asked her to add Lemongrass Essential Oil because it smells so good).
The soaps are made using the 'Cold Process' method which takes the most time, but retains the natural goodness of the ingredients. This method requires exact measurements of alkali (such as lye) and oils and six weeks of slow curing to create the final product. There is no lye in the final product as it is reacted with the oils to form soap and glycerin in a process called saponification. This is different to most supermarket soaps which leave the lye in and remove the glycerin.
The soaps are now available through our Farmhouse Direct Store, for local delivery to Goolwa residents and via the Mount Compass Farmers Market (see below).
