The Ingredients

A short,
honest list.

If we cannot name where an ingredient came from, it does not enter the bar. There is nothing here that would surprise a botanist.

Editorial arrangement of natural ingredients
01

Olive oil

Olea europaea

From · Jaén, Andalucía

Cold-pressed from a single grove. The heart of every Oleum bar — deeply moisturising, gentle enough for reactive skin, rich in oleic acid and vitamin E.

02

Lavender

Lavandula angustifolia

From · Provence, France

Steam-distilled from the year's first cut. Calming to the skin and the nervous system. Antibacterial, quietly floral.

03

Rosemary

Rosmarinus officinalis

From · Sierra de Grazalema

Wild, resinous, awakening. A natural antioxidant that tones the skin and clears the head.

04

Oats

Avena sativa

From · Castilla y León

Stone-ground and folded whole into the bar. Colloidal oats calm irritated skin and gently exfoliate.

05

Raw honey

Mel

From · Cádiz beekeepers

Wildflower honey, never heated. Humectant — draws moisture into the skin — and naturally antibacterial.

06

Shea butter

Butyrospermum parkii

From · Ghana, fair trade

Unrefined and buttery. Restores the skin's lipid barrier and gives the bar its silky lather.

07

Coconut oil

Cocos nucifera

From · Philippines, organic

Creates a rich, cleansing lather without stripping. Used in modest proportion so the bar never dries.

What we never use

Parabens. Sulfates. Synthetic fragrance. Artificial dye. Anything we would not put on the skin of someone we love.
