A few months ago, my sister's family came to visit me and we all had a great time together. I particularly enjoyed showing my soap lab to my niece and nephew, Olga and Luca. Along with my partner Emilio, we decided to make a soap that would celebrate the nice visit and also the friendship of the four of us. That's how the LEmEnOl soap was born – the name is made of the first syllables of our names all mushed together. Each of us chose a color: Emilio picked pink, Luca orange, Olga yellow and me green and black. The result is mild hand soap that leaves the skin smooth and elastic; the scent is citrusy and herbal with aftertones of tree bark.
