Pure-Castile Liquid Soap

Originating in the Mediterranean region, Castile soap has its roots from the Castile region of Spain, a historical center for soap production from olive and other vegetable oils. Castile soap is exclusively made from vegetable oils, devoid of animal fats, rendering it vegan, non-toxic, and biodegradable. The soap molecules in Castile soap possess one end that attracts water and another that repels it. When mixed with water, this interaction results in one end binding to dirt, grime, and grease, effectively removing them from the applied surface. Thanks to its plant-based composition, Castile soap is non-corrosive, making it versatile for cleaning the body, home, pets, eliminating insects, and more. This brand has no synthetic preservatives, detergents or foaming agents and 3X more concentrated than most liquid soaps so remember to dilute!
