Why Choose Castile Soap?

Castile soap is a vegetable‑based soap traditionally made from olive oil rather than animal fats or synthetic detergents. True Castile soap is known for its mild, effective cleansing and minimal ingredient list.

Modern Castile soaps may include additional plant‑based oils to improve lather and performance, but they remain free from harsh sulfates and synthetic cleansers. Because of this, Castile soap is often chosen by people with sensitive skin or anyone seeking a natural soap they can trust.

Castile soap originated in the Castile region of Spain, where olive oil was abundant and highly valued. As early as the Middle Ages, soap makers perfected the art of turning olive oil into a gentle yet powerful cleanser.

Over time, Castile soap became known throughout Europe for its purity and quality. For generations, it was used for bathing, laundry, and household cleaning—long before commercial detergents existed.

Today’s Castile soap stays true to this heritage while fitting seamlessly into modern, ingredient‑conscious lifestyles.

Castile soap cleans without stripping the skin’s natural moisture, making it ideal for sensitive, dry skin and frequent handwashing.

Are Castile Soaps Eco-Friendly?

Castile soap is loved for its versatility. It can be used as:

• A hand soap

• A body wash

• A gentle facial cleanser

• A household cleaner, when diluted

Using one multi‑purpose soap helps simplify routines and reduce product clutter.
