Vermont Soap Castile Soap

The word castile is a reference to La Castilla – a region in central Spain historically significant in the history of soapmaking. In the U.S, castile means any soap made with olive oil, often a liquid soap made from coconut and olive. Always check your ingredients – some companies add synthetic chemicals to their so called castile soap!

Ingredients: Organic Saponified Oils (Coconut, Olive and Jojoba), Rosemary Extract, Organic Aloe Vera. The organic rosemary extract is used as a preservative and aloe vera juice for added moisturizing benefits.

Uses: Our Concentrated All-Purpose Castile Liquid Soap has a silky smooth lather that is gentle enough for babies, yet effective enough for most of your home cleaning tasks. And because it's concentrated, one refill will go quite a long way. Can be used in grey water systems. These are just a couple use for Castile, but a quick internet search will yield lots of DIY recipes for this versatile, gentle soap. 

Hands & Body: Use full strength or dilute. Great for hand soap, body wash, bath soap, camping, as a dog shampoo, and more! Can be used as a face cleanser, however best suited for oily skin types. Not suitable for color-treated hair. 

Cleaning: Dishes (hand wash or dishwasher- dilute by 50%), washing clothes (1/3 + cup per load), camping, househould cleaning (all purpose cleaner for all water-safe surfaces, add 5% soap to a spray bottle), bathroom/toilet(use full strength), carpets, dog shampoo, stain removal, etc!

Walls & Woodwork: Add 1/4 cup to 1 gallon of hot water.

Warning: Do not mix with vinegar or lemon juice. It's not dangerous, but acids will unsaponify the soap and curdle it. The result will be messy and oily and get all over what you are wanting to clean rather than clean it.

How to use: Castile soap foams better as you dilute it. Castile foams best at 50-60% dilution depending on the use & hardness of the water you use for dilution.
