What Is Castile Soap?
It come in either liquid or sold form.
There’s liquid castile soap and castile soap bars.
Mix that soap with water and it creates charged atoms that capture dirt and other grime.
It all goes back to those oils as the main castile soap ingredients.
Traditional soap uses tallow (aka animal fat), making castile soap a vegan, cruelty-free alternative.
(Being vegan isn’t just about changing what you eat.

Castile Soap Uses
Truly, there’s not much it can’t do.
The OG Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap, which you’ve likely seen on Instagram touts 18 different uses.
(it’s possible for you to also use castile soap to clean your makeup brushes.)
(Find these and even more ratios using thisDr.
Bronner’s dilution cheat sheet.)
Still, castile soap can sometimes leave salt deposits behind, so those acids can come in handy afterward.
Also nice: It’s made with fair-trade and organic ingredients, and housed in a recyclable bottle.
Purchase the chic bottle once and the refills separately thereafter, minimizing your impact on the environment.
Like the original castile soaps, it uses only extra-virgin olive oil.
