In the heart of Napa Valley, where golden light stretches across vineyards and olive groves, Oliv + Ash was born from a desire to return to what is pure, simple, and natural.
Inspired by ancient tradition, a celebration of simplicity, purity, and timeless care. Our natural soaps are crafted in small batches using nourishing olive oil, botanical extracts, and mineral-rich ingredients to gently cleanse while restoring your skin’s natural balance.
Each bar is thoughtfully made, cured with patience, and designed to elevate everyday cleansing routine into something meaningful. We believe true luxury is not found in excess, but in intention—in ingredients you can trust, textures you can feel, and a process that honors both craft and nature.
We believe skincare should be both effective and indulgent. That’s why our soaps are free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and unnecessary additives—only clean, skin-loving ingredients that deliver a rich, creamy lather and a soft, radiant finish.
Infused with nature’s finest elements—like calming herbs, detoxifying clays, and essential oils—each bar offers a sensory experience that soothes the body and mind.
From our Napa Valley studio to your home, Oliv + Ash invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience skincare the way it was meant to be: honest, simple, pure and nourishing.
Did you know that soap was discovered about 3,000 year ago in Bible times?
The origins of soap can be traced back to ancient times, including the era described in the Bible, where cleansing was an important part of daily life and spiritual practice.
The first soaps were accidentally discovered around 3,000 years ago on Mount Sapo, a mountain near Rome. After animals were sacrificed, the animals’ leftover fatty tissues, mixed with ashes of altar fires, ran downhill over the mountain. Women who visited the temple noted that when mixed with rainwater, the mixture of animal fat and ashes seemed to clean their clothes. Since then, the concept of combining fats and ashes remains an important part of soapmaking. Today, many soaps are made using a saponification process that incorporates lye and oils.
Commercially manufactured store bought soaps often contain artificial ingredients, artificial pigmentation and artificial fragrance that smells good and looks good, but toxic for the body that causes cancer and disrupts our hormones. Skin is the largest organ on our body, and is extremely absorbent. The products that we put on our skin affect our overall health. Our soaps are made with natural simple nourishing ingredients essential oils and clays, charcoal and herbs that helps soothes and restore the skin.
