About seagreensoap

I first came across the benefits of olive oil-based soaps while living in Turkey. Recipes had been handed down through families, possibly dating back to the ancient Babylonians who first mixed ash & fats together over 2800 years ago. I watched & learned as groups of women laughed and stirred massive pots of olive oil, mixed them with alkalis and produced little blocks of 'sabun'.

I started my own journey into cold process soap making. The first batches felt like pure alchemy, there was a feeling of magic as blocks of soap were released from their molds, but of course it's only chemistry.
