How To Use Our Liquid Castile Soap
Fragrance Free Castile Soap - An All Purpose Soap |
Our Castile soap is a "Green Soap" meaning it's all natural, we only use high grade vegetable oils, consisting of 90% Australian virgin olive oil, castor oil and coconut oil and It is biodegradable too! With no animal fats it is a wonderful option for vegans. It is safe and gentle on surfaces and your skin. It makes a gentle and hydrating body and hand wash.
From personal experience, I used to have very dry skin, I always had trouble with my hands and the heels of my feet, cracking to the point they would bleed and I had dry scaly shins, the backs of my hands were always super dry and I was always self conscious of how bad my skin was due to using washing detergents when cleaning dishes and store bought bath soaps. Once I started using my handmade Castile soap, I noticed a change quite quickly. My skin was hydrated, my hands and heels recovered and now I use Castile on everything, including my little 4 legged fur babies. I will never go back to chemical based soaps and detergents. I hope you find benefits to your skin with my Castile soap.

What is Castile soap?
Castile soap is versatile and gentle on people and the environment.
It’s named for Castile, Spain, a region renowned for its olive oil. Traditional Castile soap is made of plant oils — Traditionally 100% olive oil or olive pumice. These days modern Castile has a blend of coconut, hemp, sunflower seed, jojoba and other moisturising oils. (Avoid brands with palm oil that is devastating forests overseas where orangutans live.) The oils are mixed with an alkali, traditionally this alkali was ash water now we use sodium hydroxide for solid soap and potassium hydroxide for liquid soap called lye. Once the chemical process has been completed, this is where the oils and mixed with the lye. The lye will neutralise and give you soap! No lye will be left once the soap has been aged. Bar soap and soap gel/paste will need 6 weeks to age to be safe for use. 24-48 hours for liquid soap.
