The olive tree, a cherished tree in Morocco

The olive tree is one of the most precious trees in Morocco. For more precise figures, it constitutes at least 55% of the arboreal orchard of the Kingdom. Its value is that not only is it prized for its cosmetic and nutritional benefits, but it also provides work for around 7 million families. Indeed, the majority of farmers find in it a source of constant income. This oleic tree is found almost everywhere in the Kingdom, especially in Marrakech, Sidi Kacem or Béni Mellal.

And the country intends to plant even more than before. We eat the fruits but we also extract the oil. We noticed them:everywhere in the medinas and the souks, these olives of all colors are well arranged and attract attention, ready to be eaten. While more than a tradition, Moroccan olive oil is nowadays an oil recognized for its culinary and therapeutic benefits. It is consumed both locally and abroad.

Did you know:Morocco is the world's 5th largest producer of olive oil? From 2019 to 2020, it exported 3380 tons to the European Union. It is narrowly preceded by Spain, Tunisia, Italy and Greece. No one is surprised! Moreover, it is in this dear country, more precisely in the Atlas region that we think we will find one of the best extra virgin olive oils in the world!

And it is then to share this tree with multiple benefits that we have created the products below. All beautiful products, in homage to the lands of Morocco, the olive tree and the natural olive oil it produces.

African black soap with olive oil for the skin

With its black and pasty appearance as well as its composition, it is not for nothing that black soap is called Olive paste . Indeed, it is largely composed of olive oil and argan oil, which are both renowned for their benefits for the skin.

So, be aware that Olive Paste can be suitable for all skin types since its base is 100% natural ingredients. It keeps its traditional recipe:free of dyes and other additives that affect purity. However, it exists in a format scented with eucalyptus, which in no way detracts from its quality but gives it a pleasant scent.

Apart from that, note that African black soap would help fight against the effects of bacteria and thus leaves the skin protected and nourished. In short, the olive paste black soap is an incomparable ally for a perfect and gentle exfoliation. Use 2-3 times a week for deep cleansing.

How to use olive paste on the skin?

Ideally, you should go to the sauna or under a steam bath to open the pores before applying the black soap. Otherwise, it will be enough to moisten it with lukewarm water.

Then apply a thin layer on the skin and leave for about 15 minutes. Then, using the kessa scrub glove , rub the skin to rid it of all impurities and dead cells. Once done, just rinse off with lukewarm water. You will then see a very beautiful, new skin.

The pure olive oil and argan oil contained in the natural black soap should be enough to leave the skin feeling nourished. However, if your skin tends to be very dry, you can always coat yourself with Oriental milk after bathing or use water care oil after applying the Olive paste.

Take advantage of the luxury hammam box to find your essential hammam. Apart from the kessa glove and the olive paste, it also contains 10ml argan oil and rhassoul.
