EVE - BAR OF SOAP!

EVE - BAR OF SOAP - love it! When I wash with the bar of soap called EVE; it is so very nice! It kisses my skin mighty fine with lots of moisturizing and a lovely scent!! I love the GO APOTHECARY soaps!

The only soaps I use!

Gilded Olive Products are amazing. I been using them for years. I only want the best products and ingredients for myself and my family. I have never found a soap like this. It leaves my skin so smooth. Also all the scents are amazing.

Lilac soap

What a beautiful soap, pale shade of purple with few green hues is such a great representation of a lilac sprig. It smells just as lovely. Thank you for this creation Valerie, I hope I always find it in your store.

Hi MelQ, Thank you for such kind words about our Spring Lilac Handmade Soap. It's our pleasure to create products that bring joy to our customers. Lilac's always a favorite and it'll be back in the spring! ~Valerie

Decadent soaps !

Fantastic ! I grew up in rural America and I have always loved bar soaps. I just don’t feel clean unless I get a wonderful lather and the fragrance is present throughout the bars life. They are decadent my friends !!

Great all-natural deodorant!

Loving this all natural deodorant! Smells amazing, goes on smooth, and most importantly it works.

Hi Deborah, I'm so glad you're loving our All Natural Deodorant Cream in Rose-Geranium. We take pride in creating products that are not only effective but also made with natural ingredients. Thank you for the positive feedback, it's truly appreciated!

This has been my favorite Deodorant for years!!!!
Thank you!

Love this deodorant!

I’m so happy I found out that Valerie makes deodorant. A good natural deodorant is hard to find. I tried the lavender tea tree and am stink free!

Your review made me laugh!! We're glad you found us and are stink-free with our lavender tea tree deodorant. Have a wonderful, stink-free day!

Lime Charcoal soap

Nice balance of lime and charcoal. Used by my husband and myself.

The soap smells amazing! I will be purchasing again. I would also love a perfume of it.

Premium quality, beautiful scents, clean ingredients. Love, love, love everythibg Valerie creates!

It's so great to hear you're enjoying our handmade soaps, Roberta! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review :-)

A little luxury in the shower!

I love these soaps - they smell delicious and leave my skin so soft. The lingering scent in the bathroom makes it spa-like!

Pear Soap

Love the Pear Soap. I bought one for myself and gave one to a friend. We absolutely love it.

Eau de Citronelle Perfect for Summer!

The Eau De Citronelle is summer in a bottle! It smells beautiful and refreshing and will definitely come in handy for my summertime campfires and camping! I highly recommend it for that necessary extra protection from those pesky mosquitos!

Best ever deodorant

Pleasant smelling, highly effective deodorant. Having had bilateral breast cancer with radiation, I trust it on my underarms completely

Hi Judith, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our All Natural Deodorant Cream. We are so happy to hear that you trust it, especially given your experience with breast cancer and radiation. Thank you for choosing our product and for your support. Take good care of yourself! x ~Valerie

This is the best lip balm I’ve ever used in my life! I love that it’s a clean and healthy product for my body! The scent is gorgeous and I am enjoying the product’s non-sticky texture! It definitely keeps my lips moisturized and feeling normal after it wears off not damaged and more dry like lip products that aren’t clean or made with healthy products! This is how a lip balm should be! 💖🌹💖

A soap that loves the body

For about a year now I began having problems with dry skin and other skin concerns. Since I started using this soap my skin feels so clean, moisturizerized and refreshed. I have tried a few others and absolutely love all of them but this is my favorite. Thank you for creating such a wonderful soap that loves the body! I've probably tried almost every soap out there and nothing compares.
Forever your customer, Natasha

Golden Hour handmade soap

The same high quality soap I have come to expect from Gilded Olive Apothecary with a wonderful new scent! I love it!

Best soap I have ever used.

Valerie’s soap are soothing good for the skin am not itchy after use. In the past the only soap I used was ivory or castile liquid due to constant itching after showering. No more scratching after leaving shower. Great product great person just as calm and soothing as her soaps.

Amazing products

I recently purchased the rose scented soap, chapstick and deodorant and I can’t rave enough about them. They are phenomenal! Beautiful and amazing - the soap is lovely and I’ll be needing a new one soon; the deodorant is one of the few that work very well on me in keeping me dry as well as smelling like rose throughout the day, and the chapstick is so smooth. I love it all!

Holds the lather well, and gets me clean.

I'm not a fan of washcloths and plastic poofs, but I wanted something to hold the soap lather and gently exfoliate my skin in the shower. This sponge is just the right size and holds the lather well.

Hi Ann! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Natural Sea Wool Sponge. We understand your preference for something that gently exfoliates and we're glad this sponge fits the bill perfectly. Thank you for choosing our product!

Like a bar of sunshine!

This soap smells so clean and fresh. It makes me think of summer, and lemonade, and all things citrusy and bright. It's like a bar of sunshine!
