Olive oil began to be used for cosmetic purposes in ancient Egypt. In those days, when the soap had not been invented yet, the ancient Egyptians were smearing olive oil onto their skin. According to one of the legends in Mesopotamia women were adding ash into olive oil, and thus producing the first olive oil soap. Traditionally, olive oil soap is made only from olive oil without any additives or other essential oils. From ancient times to the present day, olive oil is very popular in soap making.

Natural olive oil soap is excellent in skincare for any skin type. Patara Life Soaps use only olive oil produced in Aegean Sea area which is well known for its highest quality.

FAQs
Cold pressed soap describes the process in making the soap using a cold-process method. Basically, the mixing of the vegan oils (Olive oil, coconut oil etc) and lye (Sodium Hydroxide) produces a chemical reaction known as "saponification" which doesn't require external heat to complete the process, resulting in soap that's good for the skin.
Yes. Olive oil soaps can be used on the body or the face. Olive oil is moisturising for the skin and won't cause dryness.
Cold pressed soaps use natural ingredients and the saponification process takes time, resulting in a soap that is slightly more expensive.
