This is a Grade A pure olive oil. It is good for rheumatic conditions and inflammed skin. It is often used to produce herb infused oils. Some soapers prefer grade A pure to pomace because the high percentage of unsaponifiables in pomace can cause it to saponify too quickly or overreact with other ingredients such as fragrance and essential oils. This olive oil will give you a whiter bar than pomace. Olive oil attracts external moisture to the skin and still allows normal functions of the skin (such as sweating, shedding of dead skin and releasing sebum) to take place.
