How To Make Castile Soap

If you are interested in how to make castile soap I can defiantly say it's one of my favourites.

There are no preservatives or harsh, skin-drying chemicals in homemade soap, so your skin immediately feels softer.

This homemade Castile soap recipe is a very mild pure soap and one of the best soaps to make if you're a newbie to soap making.

Although when you make this soap it should really be made with 100% olive oil, I personally find it a little soft and slimy, plus it can also take hours to reach the right consistency.

So like most modern day soap recipes I've added a couple of other base oils in to balance it out, making a soap that will still hold the mildness of a good old olive oil soap. But in my opinion have a better feel and texture to it.
