Fresh and green with the clean scent of olives, this is the plainest and most everyday of the paper soaps: fifty leaves in a slim travel pack, each one lathering up in water to leave hands clean and soft.

Take a leaf with dry hands, wet it, lather and rinse. Keep a pack in your bag for picnics, playgrounds and the office kitchen, or tuck one into a school bag for the days the soap has run out.

123 Farm grows its ingredients, mostly organic, on the 2,400 acre grounds of Highland Springs Resort in southern California's San Gorgonio Pass. They harvest and distil their own lavender oil every summer, press oil from olive groves more than a hundred years old every autumn, and make their products in small batches.
