an ethical package of loveliness

Hold your sponge close to your face and breathe in the smell of the sea! Soft as lambs wool when wet, it lathers beautifully with your Dear Olive soap - rich in natural glycerin & delicately scented with essential oils - enter your choice below. The soap was hand-made in Castlemaine using sustainably produced local olive oil and comes wrapped in recycled paper tissue.

The sea sponge was grown in a Micronesian island lagoon as part of a sustainable & ethical Trade Aid project.

A local craftsman made the soap holder from kauri pine sourced from a church pew. The design allows for air circulation, lengthening the life of your soap. Kauri pine and won't stain your bathroom when wet.
