Oil of Life - Pure natural olive soap since 1850

Pure natural olive soap since 1850

Oil of Life brings you pure, natural, handcrafted, olive soap made by one of the very few remaining traditional soap makers in the world.

The Patounis family at the island of Corfu in Greece has been making handcrafted olive soap for five generations. Soap is made from locally produced olives & olive oil using the centuries-old traditional process. The current Patounis Soap Works factory was built in Corfu in 1891 and it is considered a historical landmark. Preserved with its functioning tools and equipment, it constitutes a living part of a splendid tradition!

Oil of Life is pleased to bring this soap to the US market.
