  • Castile soap gently cleans with out toxic sulfates that virtually all other commercial soaps contain. Castile soap is made from safe, simple plant oils and is able to lather naturally with no need to add synthetic ingredients. 

    These plant oils, especially the olive oil that castile soap is based on, are rich in antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids as well as anti-inflammatory compounds such as oleocanthal.

    Free from animal fats, castile soap is vegan friendly and environmentally ethical. A good quality castile is an all-around nontoxic soap cleaner that is safe for hands and oily skin, laundry, dishes, pets, floors, walls, windows and even killing garden eating insects.

  • Why Castile Soap is Good for Skin:

    • Gentle and Non-Toxic: Castile soap is made from vegetable oils (our is made from olive oil, coconut oil and jojoba oil) and is free from synthetic detergents or harsh chemicals, making it a gentle choice for cleansing.
    • Moisturizing: The oils used in Castile soap can help retain moisture in the skin, which is especially helpful for dry or sensitive skin.
    • pH-Balanced: Castile soap has a natural pH that is relatively close to that of your skin, which helps to avoid disrupting the skin’s acid mantle (a protective barrier).
    • Natural and Hypoallergenic: Many people with sensitive or allergy-prone skin find Castile soap to be a good option since it typically contains fewer irritants than conventional soaps or body washes.

    Considerations Based on Skin Type:

    • Dry Skin: Castile soap can be moisturizing due to the oils in it, but if your skin is very dry, you may want to look for a Castile soap with a higher percentage of moisturizing oils, like olive oil. You can also follow up with a good moisturizer after use.
    • Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Some people with oily or acne-prone skin find Castile soap effective because it’s natural and helps cleanse without stripping too much oil. However, Castile soap can sometimes leave a residue that might clog pores for some people, so it’s good to test it out first.
    • Sensitive Skin: Since Castile soap is free from many common allergens, it's often a good option for people with sensitive skin. However, if you're concerned, start by doing a patch test to see if it irritates your skin, especially if you're using a variety with added essential oils.
    • Normal Skin: For people with normal skin, Castile soap can offer a gentle cleanse without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture balance.

    Overall, Castile soap is a versatile and mild option for a variety of skin types, but, like with any product, individual reactions can vary. If you're unsure, it’s always a good idea to do a patch test or consult with a dermatologist.

  • When you first receive your bottle unscrew the cap and remove the seal that we add for freshness and transportation then screw the cap back on.

    When you want to use the soap twist up the cap, tilt the bottle to 45 degrees and give a gentle squeeze. When done twist the cap back down to keep your soap safe and fresh.

    Our soap lasts a long time so every so often it is helpful to take off the cap and wash it with warm water.
