• As a Toothpaste Style Ingredient: Use only in formulations intended for oral care and keep essential oils extremely cautious and low.
• As a Home Cleaning Base: Dilute with water and use in spray bottles or mop buckets for general cleaning.
• Processing Tip: Add essential oils at low levels and mix thoroughly, always patch test the final product if using on skin.

Q: Is this the same as a finished shower gel?

A: Yes, you can, but add slowly, mix well, and keep levels conservative to reduce irritation risk.

A: Castile soap is a true soap made from saponified oils, it naturally produces a gentler lather than many synthetic surfactant systems.

Q: Does it contain preservatives or fragrance?
A: No, it contains no added preservatives, fragrances, or colourants.
