Always shake well to mix the water and Castile well.
BODY USES:
Face cleanser
Our Castile Liquid soap is a wonderful natural facial cleanser, no matter your skin type. This is very gentle and perfect for anyone who likes a simple formulation which melts away makeup and sunscreen without stripping the skin. Simply apply two to three drops onto wet hands, then apply to your wet face and massage into skin. Avoid contact with eyes.
Hand Wash
Our Castile Liquid soap is a perfect hand wash. You can use a small amount of the product undiluted on wet hands. Or you can dilute with water to make it stretch further. Pure natural Castile soap is thin by nature and becomes even more so when diluted with water. Therefore a foaming handwash dispenser is ideal for diluted Castile soap. Generally you would use 1 part Castile Soap to 1 part water, or you can add as much as approximately 2-3 parts of water if using a foaming bottle. This is wonderful for handwashing, as well as wiping bench tops, basins or anything that needs cleaning in the kitchen or bathroom. Just apply a little to a cleaning cloth and wipe bench tops etc. A fantastic multipurpose product. You can also add essential oils if desired.
Makeup remover
Castile soap can be combined with witch hazel or rosewater and a carrier oil of your choice to make a natural makeup remover. Mix equal parts of all three ingredients together and use a cotton ball to gently remove makeup. Then use a washcloth with warm water to remove any remaining residue. Always avoid contact with the eye area.
Body wash
For a classic and effective body wash which works to wipe away all of the day's dirt and grime and leave you feeling fresh and clean, all you need to do is squirt one small drop onto a loofah, wet wash cloth or sponge, then apply to your wet body and lather into a rich foam. Or you can dilute with 2 parts castile soap to 1 part water.
Shampoo
Castile Liquid Soaps can also be used as a natural shampoo! Mix ½ tbsp. into your hand and work into wet hair, massaging into a lather. Alternatively, you can dilute ½ tbsp. into ½ a cup of water for a slightly weaker solution. Other mixture suggestions are 1 part castile soap to 3 parts water. You can also add in 1 part coconut oil and 1-2 drops of your favourite essential oil.
Bath liquid
To get the most out of your relaxing bath, simply add 2 tbsp. of the soap into your bath water for a cleansing and nourishing addition. It’s relaxing and cleansing and skin will feel so soft. You can also add relaxing essential oils such as Lavender for extra relaxation and a beautiful aroma.
Shaving liquid
For a clean shave, work 10 drops into a lather using some water, then apply to skin. For shaving underarms, we recommend 3 drops and for legs approximately ½ tsp. Massage into skin as you go and add water as needed to help prevent razor irritation and achieve a close shave.
Foot bath
For a relaxing end to a long day, you can use Castile Soaps as a soothing and hydrating foot bath to help relax tired or swollen feet.
