Description

Ever so close to a castile soap, I add 10% castor oil to boost lather a bit. 90% olive oil soaps take at least a year to cure and produce good lather so I have never listed one before, but I thought ahead last summer and made some. Castile and bastile (>80% olive oil) soaps are thought to be about as mild as it gets. They don't produce mountains of lather. The bar gets a touch slick feeling and at first you get a slippery feeling with the lather, but add some water and some rubbing action and you will get a good handful of lather made from small denser bubbles. Use a bath pouf and you're off to the races. Scented with a heady combination of Moroccan Fig and Sandalwood. Made in small batches with great care, handmade soap offers a much gentler cleaning than commercial soap, which are detergent bars. Handmade leaves all the glycerin in the soap, which makes for a much more skin-friendly experience. Abundant lather, nice fragrances and (usually) colorful soaps will be a treat for you every time you shower! Handmade soap needs to dry between uses. If left in a puddle, it will get very smushy. Doesn't last as long as commercial soap but it's totally worth it.
