I have made it just once before so I had something to trade with whilst living with no money in south spain. I found an old book in an abandoned wagon and had liters of olive oil to use and so that was the main ingrediant, I had no thermometer and a dodgy gas stove but it came out great!
Only thing was I didnt read the part of leaving the soap for 2weeks so that its safe to use, and I tested it when it was fresh and burnt the skin haha
Random that your post was on my feed but its an original one, soap making is a rebelious thing to do, like growing your own food and making your own wine ect! Soap Anarchy!
edit add on.. Your not using esteem?!
Soap anarchy! I like that! Would be a good brand name maybe.🤔 I am still deciding on a name. But yes, you are correct actually, this soap is completely made with olive oil. I was so excited to have my friend over I forgot to add the beeswax. So, to say the least, what a tremendous learning experience this has turned out to be. Do you still make your own soap? I started for fun to satisfy a family member, and now it has become a passion. So wonderful the way life works out.

I only made it once, and used cocofat with the oil.. how was it with just oil?!
Well, funny you ask, because I totally forgot to add the wee bit of beeswax necessary to harden it up😅 It looks like fudge, and feels soft and smooth like peanut butter, NOT what I was going for. If it doesn't harden soon, maybe I can melt it down again and add the beeswax, like a hot process soap. But, yes, soap can be made with olive oil (and lye) alone, eith the correct proportions. Soapcalc.net is a great free tool.
