Castile soap
Mediterranean oil soap
Castile soap is a mild, vegetable-based soap traditionally made from olive oil, originating in the Castile region of Spain.
Unlike soaps made with animal fats, it produces a gentle lather suitable for sensitive skin.
Modern versions may incorporate other plant oils like coconut or hemp while maintaining the pure, additive-free character.
I use Castile soap for everything from washing dishes to shampooing the dog.
