    Rustic olive wood soap dish

    An elegant and simple way to store your soap. It is handmade from olive wood and has practical drainage holes.

    Olive wood grows slowly and is therefore very hard and resistant to many fats, acids and bacteria, but can still tolerate a lot of moisture. This rustic soap dish was carved by hand in Germany from a single piece. Only wood from worn-out olive trees that no longer bear fruit is used.

    Care:
    If you rub the peel with a little olive oil every now and then, it will last a long time. Do not leave it in water.

    Olive wood has a very individual grain, so the photo may differ from the delivered product.
    Each piece is unique!

    Note on soap dishes
    Soaps with certain ingredients can react with the tannic acid naturally contained in olive wood. This is comparable to a cut apple that turns brown when exposed to air. After a short time, the tannic acid is washed out and this phenomenon disappears completely. It does not occur at all in most soaps.

    Details:
    This soap dish has water drainage holes. Length approx. 17 cm Width approx. 9 cm Height approx. 5 cm. Sizes and shapes vary slightly. Please rinse a few times before use to remove some of the natural oils.

Frequently Asked Questions

Care instructions

Tips to extend the life of your soap

Place your soap in a bowl that will drain (not flat on the tile or in a non-draining bowl!) And make sure it doesn't get wet between uses. This is optional, but it will definitely help your soap last longer

How long do your soaps mature?

My soaps mature 4 to 6 weeks open on the shelf so that they can dry well. My pure olive oil soap needs to mature for at least 6 months or more.

What do you use titanium dioxide for?

I use titanium dioxide to lighten the soap, depending on the raw materials, the natural soap can be green, yellow or brown. In nature, titanium dioxide is widespread in the form of the minerals rutile and ilmenite (together with iron). Titanium dioxide is non-toxic and not harmful to water.

Which soap for extremely dry skin?

All of my natural soaps are suitable for dry skin. Milk soaps in particular are ideal for dry skin.

PH of soaps, don't they dry out the skin?

Definitely no. Natural soaps (please do not confuse them with industrial soaps) are always basic. The pH value is 8.5 - 10. This is absolutely harmless to our skin. Amniotic fluid. E.g. has a pH value of 8.5 and let's be honest, is there a more beautiful and softer skin than baby skin?

What is NaOH?

NaOH aka caustic soda or sodium hydroxide is an essential ingredient in soap production. Our lye is made from common table salt dissolved in water, and electrodes add electricity to the mixture, creating chloride, hydrogen and lye. This material has been used in natural soap production for centuries. When used correctly, it can help make safe natural products. However, according to European cosmetic laws, you will not find sodium hydroxide on our labels as it is not included in the end products.

Can children use natural soaps?

Yeah sure! Children in particular benefit from the mild cleaning and natural care

Custom and personalized orders

Yes, of course I can. Just contact me directly, then we can discuss it.

Versendest du auch ausserhalb der Schweiz?

Ja ich versende auch in andere Länder. Leider kann ich dies nicht kostenlos anbieten!

Es können Zölle und Einfuhrgebühren fällig werden. Bitte informiert euch über die gesetzlichen Bedienungen in eurem Land.

Where do your raw materials come from?

It is very different. Raw materials such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, hemp oil, goat and sheep milk, honey, herbs and plants come from Switzerland.
Well-known raw materials such as coconut oil, shea butter, babassu oil, olive oil, grape seed oil etc. are often very transparent and easily traceable (fair trade etc.) available from wholesalers in the respective country. I don't use palm oil.

I try to avoid other raw materials or to reduce their consumption. Often I have to rely on my feelings. Transparency is important to me so that I and my customers can decide yes or no.
