And why should you care if it’s not traditional. Many of you are probably already familiar with what castile soap is. But just in case you aren’t, or could use a refresher, here’s a brief rundown. Castile soap is a soap made from vegetable oil, rather than from animal fat or synthetic detergents. It originates from the Castile region of Spain (hence the name,) where it was made from pure, local olive oil. Although olive oil is the traditional base oil, the soap can be made with coconut, hemp, jojoba, argan, castor, and many other vegetable oils. Unfortunately, as prices rise and profits have somehow become more important than people, many Castile Soap manufacturers have began turning to palm oil as a cheaper alternative to traditional oils. But as we all know it comes with a much bigger cost - damage to local wildlife, indigenous tribes, habitats, and our climate. Seven Minerals Pure Castile Soap (UNSCENTED) Seven Minerals Pure Castile Soap is the Eco-Friendly Liquid Castile that cares about you and your home. In fact, all homes on the planet. We don’t support Palm Oil, and it’s eco-damage in any of our products. Instead, we combined the old-world tradition of olive oil, with the kindness from organic healing oils and gently processed it into the soap you can trust in.
