With my knowledge as a biochemist, we can try to develop these recipes to produce a better product, based on your needs! We will start from scratch, making soapy the raw materials and giving to our soap the features we will choose together, such as perfume, colour or shape. The olive oil we will use is collected and prepared by me and my family without any use of insecticides and other chemical preparations!
