Oleavine Therapeutic Soap



When my husband and I were dating he had a case of Athlete's Foot. He was in so much pain and discomfort. He tried everything to ease the itch. He was constantly spraying it and rubbing creams on it and cleaning it. I felt so bad for him. I was so thankful I wasn't in his shoes. Literally.

Back then I knew that natural was always better, but I didn't know much about how to treat things naturally. It wasn't until years later when DoTerra Oils became popular and trendy that I learned more. Ever since, I have been sold. They have worked so well for my family and I. Western medicine has caused so many negative side effects that it has actually placed me in the ER quite a few times and nearly took the life of me and my baby.


"Let medicine be thy food and let food be thy medicine."
-Hippocrates


In this case you wouldn't be eating the treatment, but it comes from sources that I feel like you could eat and wouldn't die. I like things that are found in nature and derived in friendly ways. Treatments that have been used for thousands of years are usually pretty reliable. Not surgery though. That one is done better with newer technology.




If you know me then you know that I have skin issues. I have tried so many different products and treatments that I can't list them all. Most of them didn't work for me. It wasn't until I started using more natural, and less harmful solutions that my skin started to change for the better. Once a month I still have a battle though.

Last month I had a ton of battles hit me all at once. I had my "Kelly Kapowski can’t make it to cheerleading practice," depression, poor eating habits, family issues, stress, and lots more I don't wish to share with everyone. Needless to say, I was an emotional and physical train wreck. I was so messed up that I ended up having my first allergic reaction at 4 AM. If you have ever seen the movie HITCH, then just imagine a white girl version of Will Smith after the peanuts. And my skin was so dry that it was peeling, cracking, and flaking for weeks. I couldn't even wear makeup because it was so bad. 




Then I received my Oleavine Therapeutic Soap in the mail. Can you hear the angels singing?? I used it just as a body wash the first time. Then I realized it contained most of the essential oils that they say are good for treating acne and healing sores. I decided to start using it as face wash. It is not meant for the face, and you're not supposed to get it in contact with your eyes, but I was desperate. I had already tried 8 different moisturizers, coconut oil, Neosporin, etc. on my eyelids and face, but nothing was helping. I was in constant pain and was willing to try anything. So, I tried the soap. In less than a week, my dry skin cleared up.  Then my acne cleared up. The sores healed. And I was hooked!


The right pic isn't as focused and does have pearlescent makeup on. But it is better!

This stuff has literally saved me. I feel so good after I use it. The smell is absolutely wonderful (I like the smell of essential oils though). The soap is a little strong though. I am thinking about switching over and trying their Konjac Sponge that is infused with Bamboo Charcoal since it is meant for the face. When I use this soap on my face, it feels very exfoliated, smooth, and clean afterwards. I can only imagine what it is cleaning off the rest of my body.

I recently watched a little clip that was floating around on Facebook about how dirty public pools are and how many illnesses are spread after a jaunt in the waters. It kind of really grossed me out. So of course I took my daughters for a swim the next week. Hahaha! As soon as we came home I washed us off with my Tea Tree Therapeutic Soap and felt all clean and safe again. 




Oleavine's Therapeutic Soap is a 100% natural plant based cleanser that helps remove fungus and bacteria from the skin. It hydrates the skin and contains omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9. It does not contain synthetic fragrances, preservatives, parabens, petroleum, phthalates, sulfates, gluten, or chemical detergents. It contains ingredients like Coconut, Hemp, Jojoba, Melaleuca, Oregano, Cinnamon, and Lavendar. It is so good for your skin! Every ingredient listed on their bottle is beneficial to the skin. There is nothing listed that won't benefit you in some way.

This soap is designed to help "wash away and defend against fungus & bacteria responsible for body odor, Athletes Foot, Ringworm, Jock Itch, acne, toenail & nail fungus, yeast, and other common foot and skin irritation. Ideal foot care treatment for smelly feet and body odor eliminator." (www.oleavine.com) If you are using it treat Athlete's Foot or another fungal or bacterial condition I would recommend looking into their Foot Oil as well.


I received a free sample of this product for testing and reviewing purposes. However, these are my own honest and personal opinions, thoughts, and results. I LOVE this product. It is my favorite product that I have had the opportunity to try out. I highly recommend this to everyone. I will be purchasing another bottle after this one is gone. 

If you would like to try it for yourself, you can find it on Amazon HERE.
Or on their website HERE.

Just remember that this is a concentrated solution! They do not add any thickeners to bulk up the product. A little will go a LONG way. It lathers up wonderfully and so be sure to pour it onto a washcloth, loofah, sponge, or cotton pad. You can also use it as a foot soak. Mint works great for the feet! Mint is naturally revitalizing and awakening. If you want something more soothing then try the Lavender scented soap. 


And it is made in the USA. Which is always one of my favorite reasons to support a company. Supporting our economy and jobs within our country is vital.
