Olea Europaea (olive) Oil

Natural: Yes
Common Name: Olive Oil
How It's Made: Our olive oil is cold-pressed and comes from spain. Cold-pressing is a superior extraction method because it doesn't degrade the olive oil like some other extraction methods. You can read more about olive oil extraction right here.
Why We Like It: Spain is known for producing some of the finest olive oil in the world. We use extra-virgin olive oil becuase—unlike in soapmaking—the additional ingredients that exist in pomace olive oil are not desirable. Pomace olive oil has a very thick and heavy texture. Olive oil is an excellent skin moisturizer and conditioner.
Potential Sensitivities: Olive oil sensitivities are very rare. In over a decade of business we have not encountered anyone who is sensitive to olive oil, although there are documented cases of olive oil allergies.

Cocos Nucifera (coconut) Oil

Natural: Yes
Common Name: Coconut Oil
How It's Made: Our coconut oil is solvent extracted with a solvent called hexane. Hexane is used because it is safe, effective, and is highly evaporative, so it doesn't end up in the finished product. Our coconut oil is not refined, bleached, or deodorized. This allows the nutrients that are present naturally in the coconut oil to be retained and available for your skin.
Why We Like It: Coconut oil is a very moisturizing oil that leaves the skin feeling smooth and moisturized.
Potential Sensitivities: Some people are sensitive to coconut oil, though it is not common.
