The owner, Dana and I have been working together on the opportunity for awhile and I can not tell you how pleased I am. Not only is Dana such a sweet person but she is knowledgeable and her handcrafted products are simply amazing.
"Olive Branch Natural Soap Company specializes in luxurious, 100% natural, artisan bath and body products created to pamper, cleanse and nourish the body, while restoring balance and peace to the soul...naturally."
So what makes her products different from other handmade soaps? Olive Branch Natural Soaps have a more rustic look, and they do not have any synthetic fragrances. They are natural and elegant.

2 oz./$8.50 or 4 oz./$16.00
First off, this body butter smells heavenly. I could smell the lemongrass immediately and when I opened the container, I was greeted with a scent overload! This whipped body butter has an ultra rich formula that really penetrates deep into my skin. A little goes a long ways and it literally melts into your skin. It absorbs quickly leaving you feeling and smelling delicious. I can tell my skin needed the hydration that this body butter provides. This product is great all year long, but it is especially nice during the dry months. I love that it is all natural and therefore is gentle enough to use on sensitive skin.
The ingredients are incredible. They include shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, vitamin E, arrowroot powder, and lemongrass, benzoin and peppermint essential oils.
Many of us have most likely heard of most of these however, I wanted to know more about the benzoin essential oil. After doing some research, I learned that benzoin oil is used for many things such as arthritis, chapped skin, bronchitis, coughing and stress.
All of these ingredients work together to provide an all natural, gentle hydration that your skin will love you for!

Cinnamon & Oatmeal -
This soap has a spicy smell that is just right. The cinnamon is not too overwhelming while the oatmeal gives it a warm comforting smell. Cinnamon has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Oatmeal is gentle and soothes skin irritation, itchy rashes and naturally exfoliates dry dead skin. This soap in enriched with vitamin E also.
I love this soap! Though this can be used as a body soap, I have used it primarily as a hand soap. It cleanses well and really leaves my hands feeling soft and nourished. I think this bar is a must have all year long.
On a side note, Cinnamon can be an irritant so this product is not recommended as a facial soap, or for people with sensitive, dry, cracked, or problem skin.

Enchanted Forest -
To me this soap has more of a manly smell to it. Even so, I love this versatile bar soap.
This soap has lavender, fir needle, eucalyptus, tea tree and patchouli essential oils. Lavender is soothing and has many uses including acne treatment, pain relief, and treating many respiratory problems. Fir needle is used for arthritis, colds, flu, muscle aches, and sinusitis. Eucalyptus has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-viral properties among many others. Tea tree is used for a wide variety of things including to treat acne, fungal infections, insect bites, cuts and abrasions. Patchouli oil is often used as an antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and in the treatment of skin conditions.
This soap lathers well and has so many benefits for everyday use. My husband even likes it!

Again this soap has more of a manly smell to me yet I still love it. As recommended I used this bar recently when getting over a cold. The smell works great to relieve congestion and breath easy.
This bar has five essential oils that are known to battle against germs. Those essential oils are clove bud, lemon, cinnamon bark, eucalyptus, and rosemary. These essential oils are "antiviral, antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-infectious. They stimulate the circulatory, respiratory, and immune system, and help protect you from "those nasty germs."
This bar is not only great to have around all the time but would be a thoughtful gift.

I love lavender and use it for many things around my house. This bar smells amazing and calms my senses.
This bar has both lavender and benzoin essential oils. I have already covered both of these ingredients and their benefits.
This bar is perfect to use at night. It is gentle enough to use on my daughter and it helps to soothe and promote a better nights rest. I love this bar and would love to have one in every bathroom.

Lemongrass is increasingly becoming a new favorite scent of mine. This soap is inviting and refreshing. I love the pick me up that it gives me in the morning.
This bar also contains coconut, avocado, almond and vitamin E oil. These ingredients work together to create the perfectly balanced bar that is gentle, hydrating and lifts your spirits. I love this bar for everyday use whether it is in the shower or just as a hand soap.

Another favorite scent of mine is anything orange. This soap is no exception! Even though I am not a big patchouli fan, this bar has just a hint of patchouli that works well with the orange. It is great to use all over or just as a hand soap.
Orange is used for many things including anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and an antiseptic.
This bar is a easy favorite of mine and I think I will keep it all to myself!

I also received a handcrafted wooden soap dish. These beautiful soap dishes have grooves to allow for proper water drainage and air ventilation, necessary for your soap to dry between uses. It is important to use one of these natural wooden soap dishes to prolong the life of your soap.
