Key Lime Olive Oil Soap

Item Number: 727
Time Left: CLOSED
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. This bar is extremely pretty when it's wet so be sure to look as well as wash! 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.
