Pure Castile Liquid Soap Base is a fragrance-free liquid soap made from saponified vegetable oils and used as a ready-to-use cleanser or customisable soap base. It is a simple, biodegradable formula that can be used in personal care and household cleaning, either as it is or with compatible additions. Because this is a true liquid soap rather than a synthetic surfactant system, the lather is naturally milder than many commercial cleansers. It is a versatile base ingredient for low-fuss DIY projects.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Pure Castile Liquid Soap Base because it offers a straightforward starting point for gentle cleansing without added fragrance, colour, or unnecessary extras. It is especially useful for makers who want one adaptable base that can work across hand wash, body wash, haircare, and home cleaning.

A: They can be added carefully at low levels, provided they are mixed thoroughly and the final product is checked for suitability.
