Care of your Dear Olive balms and oils

  • I create the balms and oils in small batches. The ingredients are fresh and of high quality. However, as plant butters & oils have a natural shelf life, it's best to use your balm/oils within 6 months of purchase.
  • Dear Olive balms and oils are preservative free, so please ensure your hands are clean & dry when handling. Replace the lid after use, and store in a cool, dry place.
  • It is always wise to try a dab of any new product on your forearm before extended use. If irritation occurs, don't use. 
  • Please be mindful that Dear Olive products are not formulated to treat individual, skin conditions or for use on compromised skin.
  • Although the ingredients are all natural, please keep out of reach of children. 

    Care of your Dear Olive soaps
  • Dear Olive soaps have a naturally high glycerin content - although lovely for your skin, they tend to retain more moisture than commercial soaps. To extend the life of your soap, store it away from running water & in a position that allows for air circulation. 
  • Olive oil based soaps take a long time to cure & harden - I allow my soaps a curing time of at least two months before I sell them.  
  • If you don't intend on using your soap soon after purchase, it's best to store it in a cool dry place such as a linen cupboard, rather than a bathroom. 

    Care of your Dear Olive loofa pouch
  • It's advisable to rinse and dry your loofah pouch between uses.
  • Occasional bouts outside on a clothesline will help your pouch to stay in good condition.
  • By taking care of your loofa pouch, you will also be taking care of your skin.
