The history of olive oil soap does indeed have roots in ancient civilizations, particularly in the Mediterranean region. The process of making soap from olive oil has been traced back to ancient Greece and other civilizations in that area.
The story you mentioned about the origins of soap making in Ancient Greece, specifically on the island of Lesvos, where the residue from animal sacrifices mixed with rainwater and ashes, resulting in a substance that aided in cleaning, has been recounted in various historical narratives. While the exact details may vary, it's believed that this accidental discovery led to the realization that this substance could effectively clean items, including clothes and later, the body.
Olive oil has been a fundamental ingredient in traditional soap making for centuries. Its use in soap production stems from its natural properties, including its ability to cleanse gently without stripping away the skin's natural oils. Additionally, olive oil contains antioxidants like vitamins E and A, which are beneficial for the skin, and its moisturizing properties can be attributed to the retention of glycerin during the soap-making process.
