What is it?
What is it?
Castile soap's story begins in the lush landscapes of Spain's Castile region. Crafted from a blend of olive oil and alkaline ash, this gentle soap was a local secret for centuries, prized for its mildness and effectiveness.
A true soap is a cleansing agent made through the saponification process. It's created by mixing fats or oils with an alkali, such as lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide).
Its concentrated formula means you only need a small amount to achieve powerful results. Dilute it with water for various cleaning solutions, from all-purpose sprays to floor cleaners.
- Ingredients: Filtered rainwater, Potassium soap made from oils of Coconut and Olive Oil. Retained glycerine.
- pH: Approx. 7-8
NOTE: Due to the large amount of olive oil used to make our Liquid Castile Soap, you may find that these it can go cloudy with a small amount of white sediment when the temperature falls below 15 degrees Celcius. The cloudiness and sediment will disappear as soon as the temperature rises back above 15 degrees.
Key Benefits
Key Benefits
A safe surfactant
At the heart of any effective cleaning agent lies its ability to break down grease and grime. Pure soap is a natural surfactant, which means it excels at this vital task. Its molecular structure acts like a bridge between water and oils, effortlessly lifting away dirt and leaving surfaces shining.
Soap vs. Detergent
While we often use "soap" and "detergent" interchangeably, they're not quite the same. Soap is crafted through a traditional process of mixing fats or oils with an alkali, while detergents involve synthetic compounds. Opting for pure soap
means choosing a gentler, more natural option that's free from synthetic additives found in detergents.
It's timeless
Pure soap has stood the test of time – a testament to its reliability and effectiveness. With a history stretching back through generations, it's a tried-and-true solution that's been trusted for its cleaning prowess.
It's versatile
Need a degreaser for your stovetop? Or perhaps a gentle cleaner for your little one's highchair? Look no further than pure soap. Its versatile nature makes it suitable for various surfaces, making cleaning a breeze.
Eco-Friendly by Nature
Choosing pure soap aligns with your commitment to eco-conscious living. Its production involves fewer chemicals and has a smaller environmental footprint compared to conventional cleaners. Plus, its biodegradable nature ensures it breaks down harmlessly, reducing its impact on our planet.
Even more reasons..
Beyond these top reasons, pure soap is a budget-friendly solution that leaves behind a fresh, clean scent – no overpowering artificial fragrances needed.
