Dr Planet
Australian Castile Soap
What is Castile soap?
Castile soap is an olive oil based soap originating from Castile in Spain.
It is the oldest way of making soap, its roots dating back millennia.
It was found that by mixing the ashes from the fire with water and olive oil and mixing rigorously, a cleaning agent could be created. The ash contained potassium hydroxide, the catalyst that chemically changes the oils into soap through a process called saponification.
These days the potassium hydroxide comes in a refined form.
Other oils can be added and it is still considered Castile soap as long as olive oil is the main ingredient.
At Dr Planet, we use over 70% Victorian Olive Oil, some Coconut and Castor oil.
We use essential oils for the scented varieties and a small amount of good old fashioned salt to thicken it into a beautiful golden liquid.
Why use Castile Soap
Todays commercial soaps have been tweeked and twisted to reduce the costs of ingredients and the labour involved. By adding a long list of toxic ingredients to get a better lather, to increase shelf life, to lower surface tension, synthetic fragrances for their economic advantages, we have seen the use of these products comes at other costs.
This has led to an epidemic of allergies and cancers, the skin being the largest organ of the body, absorbs all these toxins without discernment.
A return to old fashioned ways can sometimes be a revolution.
What is old is new again.
