DetailsSquare soap dish made of olive wood
Practical and attractive soap dish with drainage holes.
Olive wood is very well suited for this type of use due to its durability and water-repellent properties. This beautiful soap dish goes perfectly with my handmade natural soaps. Only wood from worn-out trees that no longer bear fruit is used.
Wood on the sink – is that possible?
My soap dishes are made of beautifully crafted olive wood. This is genuine handcraft and high-quality material. My soap dish is hand carved from a piece of olive wood. Only used trees that no longer bear fruit are used.
With their modern shape, the soap dishes are ideal for using solid soap or bars of soap. At the same time, holes on the underside of the soap dishes provide the necessary ventilation so that moisture does not build up on the soap dish and the soap does not "float" in the water for an unnecessarily long time. The olive wood used is particularly striking due to its beautiful, warm color. As a tasteful detail, the wood goes wonderfully with any other bathroom furniture of any color.
The natural olive wood not only looks beautiful, but also has antibacterial properties. If well cared for, olive wood can last almost a lifetime.
cleaning and care
Thoroughly remove soap or soap residue from the wood. Wipe the soap dish with a mild cleaner and lukewarm water. Pat dry thoroughly with a linen or kitchen towel.
Since you are using the wooden soap dish in the bathroom, it is also advisable to regularly rub the soap dish with cooking oil (e.g. linseed oil or olive oil). The oil is absorbed into the wood and thus naturally protects it from too much moisture and humidity.
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.

Approximate dimensions: length 11 cm, width 7 cm, height approx. 2 cm
Please note that this is a natural product. The size, color and grain of the wood vary depending on the nature of the wood.
Tips to extend the life of your soap
Place your soap in a dish that drains (not flat on the tile or in a non-draining dish!) and make sure it doesn't get wet between uses. This is optional, but it will definitely help your soap last longer.
Shipment
I ship with the Swiss Post. The prices stated are the official prices and delivery times of the Swiss Post.
Whenever possible, I try to pack the items in such a way as to get the best shipping price for you (small packages: up to 17.6 x 25 x 5 cm, maximum 250g including packaging). Unfortunately, this is not possible for every order.
If you pay too much because the package is a small shipment, I will refund you the difference.

About me
All my products are handmade by me in very small batches in my studio in St. Gallen. My soap is cold process soap, which means I make the recipe from scratch with full control over all ingredients. Each bar of soap matures for 4 to 6 weeks. This ensures that all the water has evaporated and results in a harder bar of soap that lasts longer.

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 longerHow 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.
