Helleo Soap is a quality brand of olive oil soaps, all vegan and free from palm oil, and wrapped in recycled paper. This ‘one and only’ soap is inspired by local Cretan pottery artists, made with a swirl of black, red and brown clays.
Use unscented soaps for pregancy/nursing and affected medical conditions. Avoid shea butter for latex allergies.
Olive oil is known to be one of the best soaps for delicate skin. One woman went to a dermatologist for her ‘incurable itchy skin’ even though she was using the brand leading soap. After he couldn’t help, she popped to Holland & Barratt and bought a cheap plain bar of Oliva soap (just olive oil, salt and water). And her skin began to heal in an hour.
If you fancy something a bit more posh, this brand is that! Other scents include:
- Cypress and cedar
- Avocado and banana
- Blood orange and lime
- Lemon verbena and sage
- Frangipani and honeysuckle
- Grape and kiwi
Unlike most soaps that have names like the above, these are all made with natural fruits and essential oils, not fragrance oils that don’t biodegrade.
The pack of olive oil mini-soaps are ideal for public bathrooms, or anyone who runs a bed-and-breakfast, guest house or hotel. The Pomegranate and Red Wine bar is designed to help reduce oil for acne-prone skin, and is infused with oils of basil and bergamot.
