Loose, with a paper band or individually boxed, agreed per project.
Olive oil soap is a solid soap made by saponifying olive oil with an alkali. On the ingredient list, saponified olive oil appears as Sodium Olivate.
Soaps of this kind have a long tradition around the Mediterranean; in Spain and beyond, soap made mainly from olive oil is also known as Castile soap. Ingredient names such as Sodium Olivate can be checked in CosIng, the EU database of cosmetic ingredients.
A solid bar needs no bottle or pump. A paper band or a printed box is often enough to carry your brand, which keeps packaging effort manageable.
Like any cosmetic product, a soap under your own brand needs a Responsible Person, a Cosmetic Product Safety Report and a CPNP notification under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (EUR-Lex). If you place it on the market under your own name, you may become the Responsible Person yourself, so the division of tasks should be agreed in writing.
Small guest soaps, individually wrapped or banded, are the usual choice for hotel rooms. Larger bars suit spa retail and gift shops.
Scent, size and wrapping are agreed with you. For hotels with their own branding, the soap can carry the hotel’s name on the band or wrapper. Minimum quantities and lead times are stated in the written offer.

Yes. Loose bars are possible, as are bands, wrapping and individual boxes.
In soap, olive oil is saponified and acts as a cleansing agent. In creams and lotions, it remains an oil and is part of the caring base.
Keep it on a soap dish that drains and out of the water stream so it can dry between uses. A soap that sits in water softens and wears down faster.
Many people do; keep the lather away from the eyes. If your skin feels tight afterwards, follow with a face cream. With a skin condition, ask your doctor first.
Saponified olive oil appears as Sodium Olivate. Other ingredients, such as glycerin, water or fragrance, are listed separately. More in our olive oil soap guide.
Like every cosmetic product, soap carries a durability marking, usually the period after opening or a ‘best before’ date. Over time, the scent and colour of a soap can change.
Embossing is possible on request, depending on the manufacturer and the quantity. The mandatory label information goes on the band, box or wrapping.
Both unscented and scented versions are possible. With fragrance, allergens above the legal thresholds are listed on the INCI list.
Store soap in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. In humid conditions, soap can ‘sweat’, so keep it wrapped and do not seal it airtight while it is still fresh.
