O'live Handmade Soaps

When they ask me why my skin glows, I say “pick an oil”!

Yes, oils are great for everyday use. They pamper and brighten your skin without leaving oily and greasiness, just a natural glow.

My absolute favourite and best seller is Kalahari melon oil. It’s quick absorbing and loaded with beneficial anti oxidants. For me, it’s THEE NATURAL OIL. Let me know if you try it!

My favourite part - essential oil blending. This is a special blend of Lemongrass, Buchu, Sweet Orange, Rosemary and Cedarwood essential oils. It is custom formulated for a customer’s private label soaps and candles.

We have had 2 last minute cancellations (due to ill-health and not making it to SA in time) for our workshop tomorrow.

Had the most fun creating these special edition limited soaps for our Citrus Festival at the for this weekend!
I don’t usually deviate from our regular handmade soap range, but I felt a small and creative range of citrus inspired soaps was in order for this weekend!

These soaps are made with oodles of Shea butter, coconut oil and olive oil and scented with pure citrus essential oils:

1) Lime and Ginger Soap (green)
2) Grapefruit and Tangerine Soap ((pink and cream)
3) Orange and Spice Soap (multi colour)
I admit, it’s been a longish while since I’ve made such designed soaps, but it was fun, fun, fun. The orange spice design came out a lot different to how I’d imagined it but it’s beautiful anyway.

Join us at over this weekend to purchase these! Once these are gone, they’re gone, they are a very small limited batch!
