5 Reasons to Choose Olive Oil Rich Cold Process Soap

Not all soap is created equal - even in the world of artisan soap making. Many handmade soaps rely on cheap, high lather oils like palm and coconut, which might give you a fluffy foam but can also strip moisture from your skin.

At Melody Road Soap Co. we take a different approach. Our cold process soaps are crafted with a high percentage of olive oil, bringing you a bar that's not only luxurious, but long lasting, nourishing and gentle.

Olive Oil - The Gold Standard of Soap Making

Unlike many artisan soaps that use large amounts of palm or coconut oil to cut costs, we make our bars olive oil rich - a hallmark of true, high quality soap. Olive oil produces a dense, creamy lather rather than a big, airy foam, but more importantly, it cleanses without drying your skin. It is also packed with antioxidants, vitamins and skin loving fatty acids, making it one of the most nourishing oils you can put in a soap bar.

A Longer Lasting Bar That Gives You More

Palm and Coconut oil may lather quickly, but they also dissolve fast, often turning into a mushy mess in shower. Olive oil soap, on the other hand, is naturally dense and long wearing. It takes longer to use up, meaning your bars lasts longer than many others on the market. Quality and longevity - that's real value.

Naturally Hydrating with Retained Glycerin

Some soap makers remove glycerin to use in lotions or creams. Not us. Glycerin stays in every bar we make, helping to draw moisture to your skin. If you've ever used soap that left your skin feeling dry and tight, it was likely lacking this key ingredient. With our cold process method, hydration isn't an afterthought, it's build in.

Gentle, Balanced and Skin Friendly

Many soaps, both commercial and artisan, are packed with harsh detergents, excessive coconut oil, or synthetic additives that can disrupt your skin's natural barrier. Olive oil based soap works differently. It helps maintain your skin's natural pH, meaning it cleans without irritation. If you have every struggled with dry, itchy, or sensitive skin, this is the upgrade your routine has been waiting for.

A More Sustainable Choice

We believe great soap doesn't have to come at the cost of the planet. Unlike palm oil, which contributes to deforestation, olive oil is a sustainable and ethical choice. Our bars are also biodegradable, made with minimal waste, and packaged responsibly. A soap that's better for your skin and better for the environment? That is something worth lathering up for.

Experience the Difference

Not all artisan made soaps are made the same. Choose an olive oil rich bar that cleans deeper, hydrates better and lasts longer.
