Castile Soap

1. Definition Castile Soap:

Castile soap is a type of soap that is made from vegetable oils, such as olive oil, rather than animal fats. It is known for its gentle cleansing properties and is often used in natural skincare and beauty products.

2. Use:

Castile soap can be used as a gentle cleanser for the face, body, and even hair. It is effective at removing dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Many people with sensitive skin or skin conditions, such as eczema, find that Castile soap is a gentle and non-irritating option for cleansing.

3. Usage Castile Soap:

When using Castile soap in cosmetics, it is important to dilute it with water before applying it to the skin. This helps to prevent any potential irritation or drying out of the skin. It can also be used as a base for DIY skincare products, such as facial cleansers, body washes, and even shampoo. However, it is important to patch test any new products containing Castile soap to ensure that it does not cause any adverse reactions.
