What We Use

Colloidal Oats & Oat Milk

The namesake of Olive & Oat Skincare. We use finely milled colloidal oats and fresh, handmade oat milk in our soap recipes. This incredibly soothing botanical ingredient helps to calm irritated skin, lock in moisture, and provide a gentle, creamy lather without the use of synthetic foaming agents.

Cold-Pressed Olive Oil

A timeless staple in natural soap. High in oleic acid, our cold-pressed olive oil conditions the skin and creates a dense, long-lasting bar of soap that feels luxuriously soft to the touch.

Raw Shea Butter

Sourced for its rich, buttery texture and deep moisturizing properties. We leave a portion of our raw shea butter unsaponified in our formulas, meaning it stays behind to protect and hydrate your skin.

Mineral Clays & Botanicals

We never use artificial colorants. Our beautiful earthy hues come entirely from mineral-rich natural clays—like French green clay and rose kaolin—alongside infused herbs and root powders.

Ethical Sourcing

Respecting the Earth

We partner with independent growers and ethical suppliers to ensure every botanical, clay, and oil we use is harvested responsibly. Our commitment to natural skincare extends to protecting the environments where our ingredients grow.

Quick Answers

Are your ingredients entirely natural?

Yes. We strictly use plant-derived oils, butters, natural clays, and pure essential oils. We do not use lab-created fragrance oils or nature-identical synthetics.

Do your products contain allergens?

Because we use natural nut butters (like shea) and essential oils, some products naturally contain naturally occurring allergens. Please check the specific ingredient list on every product page before purchase.

Is your palm oil sustainably sourced?

We choose to be completely palm-free. We formulate our handmade soap to be rich and hard using a blend of olive oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter instead.
