Online, May 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Los Angeles, USA-While olive oil based soaps have been available in the United States for quite some time, now it is possible to buy traditional handcrafted Greek olive oil soaps in the country as well.

Consumers in the United States can purchase these highly acclaimed soaps via the website www.oiloflife.com.
