About Us

Why Pure Sabao?

We love soap, and some of us have sensitive skin. We found that some fragrances and chemicals made us itch – pretty uncomfortable and sometimes just embarrassing.

While I was traveling and teaching in Lebanon, a very close friend introduced me to a green soap that was made from the olives. To me, this was something new, handmade, and completely organic. His 85-year-old father grew their olives on their land in northern Lebanon. While visiting, I watched his dad till the soil around the trees to catch more rain, prune the trees to produce the best fruit, and tend to the groves as a father tended to his children.

There is a small soap maker in their village that makes soap from their olives. I was hooked. I returned home with a brown paper bag of different shaped soaps in various green and white colors. My wife and three girls all used the soap and fell in love with it.
