We have revived a sixteenth-century Mediterranean recipe to our modern expectations. We selected 100% organic, extra virgin olive oil as the base for all our soaps. Olive oil makes a hard, long lasting bar of soap that requires minimal packaging and offers a healthy and effective way to clean body, home and keep the planet safe too.
Our production has a low carbon foot print, supports organic agriculture, and prioritize environmental sustainability and overall health. We are dedicated to eliminating single use plastics throughout our business practices and creating soaps that will meet cleaning needs in your bathroom and kitchen so you no longer have to rely on single use plastics to hold liquid soaps and cleaners. |
Benefits
|
SKIN
Olive oil is absorbed into our skin and scalp and helps replenish our natural oil called sebum. Once the sebum is re-established it makes the skin shine and even coats each strand of our hair, making it unnecessary to use
conditioner. |
WATER
Liquid soaps are often over 70% water! When you use our concentrated Olive Oil bars, it means using just the right amount per wash, they last a whole lot longer than a liquid or soft soap, and the residue in the water biodegrade within three days in the environment.

ENVIRONMENT
An olive tree easily lives for hundreds of years. It starts producing olives between 7 to 15 years of age and protects an eco-system for its lifetime. Conversely, coconut and palm trees are cut after their harvest peek between 25 and 45 years old. In addition, part of the rain forest is cut to plant mono-crops of coconut and palm trees, while olive groves are maintained over the trees' lifetime.

What people are saying about Ancestral French Soaps
“These are absolutely wonderful soaps. They clean and rinse with ease. I feel happy not putting anything toxic on my body but also in our water when the soap is washed off - I know they are made with the utmost care for the environment with the finest ingredients. Although I lack a sense of smell, I am drawn to their visual beauty and love having them around - they are so magnificently layered and nuanced with oils and herbs that form their deep hues.” |
“ I love your hair soap! Because, ever since I started using it, I love my hair. It has made me realize that my hair isn't just a problem to deal with every morning, but in fact, is a part of me I can love just for being there. You've changed the way I look at my hair. Thank you so much.” |
