MISSION
Olivesoap is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating all-natural handmade soap that rejuvenates the skin while still staying environmentally friendly. The money we earn will be entirely donated to animal welfare organizations such as the East Bay SPCA in order to help with their animals and fund the events they hold.
Olivesoap was founded in 2020 by Sia Desale. Sia is a sophomore in high school and has been volunteering at the East Bay SPCA since middle-school. Combining her love for animals, helping others, and skincare, Olivesoap was created. She hopes that Olivesoap will be able to help more animals be cared for, find their forever homes, and help vulnerable parts of our society and make the world a better place in the process.
