Besides being non toxic what are
castile soaps benefits?

Castile soap is a versatile soap that has

many uses. It can be used to wash your
skin and hair, clean your clothes,
dishes, and surfaces.

Castile soap is a good alternative to

chemical-based shampoos, as it can
leave your hair feeling smoother and
more conditioned. It is milder than
many bar soaps and can clean the skin
while replacing some of the lost sebum
with olive oil.

Castile soap may also be an option if

you have acne, as the oils it contains
have antibacterial properties. It can be
used as a makeup remover and is much
less astringent than traditional makeup
removers, so it should not cause skin
irritation or dryness.

Castile soap is a good alternative to

commercial deodorants, as it is natural
and contains ingredients with potent
antibacterial properties.

Castile soap has been studied

extensively for its potential benefits in
wound cleaning and has been shown to
shorten hospitalization stays and speed
wound healing. It can also be used as a
household cleaner for a variety of
purposes.
Castile soap is versatile, affordable,
vegan, hypoallergenic, and pet-safe.
However, added essential oils can
irritate a pet's skin, so read the product
label.
 The Proof is in the
pudding
Although commercial companies use chemicals to make soap due to its efficiency
and lower cost, they often prioritize profit over people's health and the
environment. These synthetic chemicals allow for consistent mass production, but
they can be harmful to both our skin and the planet. Homemade soap, on the other
hand, uses natural ingredients like essential oils, herbs, and natural oils, resulting in
a gentler, nourishing product. However, this quality comes at a higher cost. Our
mission is to provide a healthier alternative by creating high-quality soap that is
free from harmful chemicals, unlike commercial companies that are often cheap
and disregard the health of their consumers. We strive to make this healthier
option affordable and accessible to all.

 Don't be fooled
Cost is important
Homemade soap makers have a wide variety of ingredients to choose from when
making their products. Some may opt for cheaper ingredients like milk and other
oils to keep costs low, while others may prioritize using only high-quality, natural
ingredients like pure olive oil in a castile soap.

While cheap ingredients may make a soap more affordable, they may not provide
the same benefits as higher-quality ingredients. For example, using milk in soap can
add moisture and a creamy lather, but it may also cause the soap to spoil faster.
Additionally, cheaper oils may not provide the same nourishing properties as pure
olive oil, which is rich in antioxidants and vitamin E.

On average, a 4.5 oz bar of homemade soap can range from $5 to $10 or more,
depending on the ingredients used and the amount of time and effort put into
making it. Some homemade soap makers may charge even higher prices,
particularly if they are using premium ingredients or have a strong brand following
.
Although homemade soap makers may use cheaper ingredients to keep costs low,
some of these soaps are being sold at a premium. This is often because homemade
soap is seen as a luxury item, and consumers are willing to pay more for the
perceived quality and natural ingredients. Additionally, many homemade soap
makers put a lot of effort into their products, from the formulation to the
packaging, which also adds to the cost.

Our mission is to promote a sustainable future by providing packaging solutions

that are recycled and biodegradable. We believe in reducing the negative impact of
packaging waste on the environment by using eco-friendly materials that can be
reused or easily broken down by natural processes.

We strive to create innovative packaging solutions that are both functional and
environmentally responsible, without compromising on quality or affordability.
Together, we can make a positive impact on our planet by choosing sustainable
packaging options.
 We Have To Ask
Ourselves ??

Why do we give our money to companies that sell us poison and

disregard the well being of our families?

Is it the convenience of getting all of our products in one place?

Is it to save a dollar?

Is the trade off worth it?

We are not a mega corporation, actually far from it. We are not fancy, all we aim to
do is provide the best possible soap made from the highest quality ingredients.

We are a family owned 100% made in the USA and operated business. Help us grow
so that we may continue to provide you with a great product. Thank You!

 History of Soap
Castile soap is a type of soap that has been around for centuries and is known for its gentle
yet effective cleaning properties. The soap is named after the region of Castile in Spain, where
it is believed to have originated.

The history of Castile soap dates back to the early 11th century, when soap making was
introduced to the region by the Moors. The Moors were skilled at making soap from olive oil,
and this knowledge was passed down to the people of Castile. At the time, the soap was made
using a process known as saponification, which involves combining fat with an alkali
substance such as lye.

Castile soap became popular in Europe during the Middle Ages, and it was highly valued for its
purity and gentle cleansing properties. In fact, it was often used by royalty and nobility, and
was considered a luxury item.

During the 19th century, Castile soap became more widely available as production methods
improved and the demand for soap increased. The soap was exported to other parts of the
world, including the United States, where it gained popularity as a natural, eco-friendly
alternative to harsher soaps made from animal fats.

Today, Castile soap is still made using traditional methods, and it remains a popular choice for
those looking for a natural, gentle soap that is free from harsh chemicals and additives. It is
made from vegetable oils such as olive, coconut, or hemp, and is known for its mild,
moisturizing properties.

In summary, the history of Castile soap is a long and rich one, dating back centuries to the
region of Castile in Spain. It has been prized for its purity, gentle cleansing properties, and
eco-friendliness, and continues to be a popular choice for those seeking a natural alternative
to harsher soaps.
