Back in the summer of 1999 a dear friend of mine had began experimenting with the process of making soap. I had taken several chemistry courses during my years at Concordia and was fascinated by the process. Together in my kitchen, we created a few small batches of unscented, pure, olive oil soaps.

After six weeks of curing, we had ourselves a nice supply of rare, high quality soaps. I soon realized that we had more than our family could ever use and decided to try and sell the excess at a small Christmas Bazaar. To my astonishment we sold all of our unscented soaps and realized that there was a demand for this sort of product. In the weeks to follow my husband and I created a company called Bare Basic Soap Company and began experimenting with the soap making process to further prefect the art of soap making. We began selling our soaps on a regular basis at small bazaars, flea markets and private events.

Over the years our line of products has grown to include naturally scented soaps, bath, spa and beauty products. We renamed our company Olive Authentique which now employs my husband and I, along with my three sons. As they say, the rest is history. I would like to thank all our devoted customers for standing by our sides and help shape the company to what it is today. Thank you!
