The Timeless Craft of Castile Soap: A Journey with Castile Soap Club
Welcome to Castile Soap Club, where ancient traditions meet modern times. Inspired by the heart of the Mediterranean, our brand celebrates a timeless recipe that has been cherished for centuries. At Castile Soap Club, we believe in the power of nature, the beauty of simplicity, and the importance of sustainability. Join us as we explore the meticulous process of crafting our luxurious Castile soap using organic, plant-based ingredients, thoughtfully paired essential oils, and eco-friendly packaging.
The Art of Soap-Making
Creating our liquid Castile soap is a labor of love, rooted in a recipe that has stood the test of time. The process begins with the careful selection of high-quality, organic plant-based oils.
-Our primary ingredient is organic olive oil, which has been revered in Mediterranean culture for its nourishing properties.
-We use organic coconut oil to help create our luxurious thick and creamy lather
-We use organic jojoba oil for its moisturizing benefits
-We use rosemary extract for added freshness.
-We use organic aloe vera for moisturizing and soothing properties that allow it to be used by most skin types.
Saponification: The Heart of the Process
The magic begins with the saponification process, where the plant oils and lye come together in a transformative reaction. We use food-grade lye in precise measurements to ensure safety and effectiveness. The olive oil, coconut oil and jojoba oil is gently heated and mixed with the lye solution, initiating the reaction that creates soap. There is no lye left after the heating process as it dissolves and interacts with the oils to create the liquid soap.
Blending with Nature’s Essence
Once the mixture reaches a perfect consistency, we carefully incorporate our thoughtfully paired essential oils. These oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, and fruits, capturing the pure essence of nature. For instance, we might blend uplifting citrus oils like bergamot with lavender to create a balanced fragrance that calms the mind while energizing the spirit. Each blend is crafted with intention, considering not only the aroma but also the therapeutic benefits associated with each essential oil.
Bottling
After blending, the liquid Castile soap is packaged into bottles and sealed. We take great care in transferring the soap into recyclable containers by hand, ensuring that each bottle is filled with love and intention.
A Commitment to Sustainability
At Castile Soap Club, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. From sourcing our ingredients to our final packaging, we aim to prioritize eco-friendly practices. Our oils are extracted using methods that conserve energy and reduce waste, ensuring that we respect the earth’s resources.
When it comes to packaging, we believe that beauty should never come at the expense of the planet. Our bottles are made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable. We minimize plastic use and encourage our customers to join us in reducing waste by using refill pouches when replacing soap. We always ship our soaps out in boxes and protective paper that is both recyclable and decomposable.
