Castile Soap Liquid Base Biodegradable

This liquid soap base contains no surfactants or thickening agents and tends to have a runny consistency. It is ready to use as a liquid soap, hand soap & body wash. We do not recommend using 100% liquid soap on your hair due to the naturally high ph.

It is very mild, which makes it a great choice for those with sensitive skin. Some essential oils may not mix in perfectly with this all natural soap. We recommend mixing a small amount as a test batch prior to mixing up a large batch. You can add colour and fragrance to liquid Castile.

Bodycare:

Face: 2-3 drops on wet hands, applied to wet face

Household uses:

Dishes (hand washing): Pre-dilute 1:10 with water. Apply with a scrub brush and scrub dishes.

Laundry: 1/3-1/2 c. of soap for a large load in a normal washer. Add ½ c. vinegar to the rinse cycle. Use half of these amounts for front loader

Other Uses:

Fruit and Veggie Rinse: 1 dash (approx.. ¼ tsp.) in a bowl of water. Dunk produce and swish. Then rinse in clear water.

Dog washing: Amount varies widely depending on size, hair type and length, and overall dirtiness. I wet my dog thoroughly, then start to work in castile soap up and down their body until I have a good lather. Really massage it in down to the skin. Your dog will thank you for it.

Plant spray for bugs: 1 Tbsp. in a quart of water. Add ½ Tsp. cayenne pepper or cinnamon, if desired.

Ant spray (not on plants): ¼ c. tea tree soap in a quart of water. (This concentration will burn plants)
