What it is
This is a concentrated liquid soap made with organic and certified fair trade ingredients. It is a versatile cleaning agent derived from plant oils. The tea tree oil provides a distinct scent and is known for its purifying properties. It is biodegradable and free from synthetic detergents or preservatives. The soap is designed to be diluted for various cleaning tasks.
How people cook with it
This soap can be used for a wide range of cleaning needs around the home and for personal care. Dilution is key to its effectiveness and economy.
- All-purpose household cleaner
- Gentle body wash
- Hand soap
- Dish soap
To use, dilute the soap with water. For general cleaning, mix about half a capful of soap with a quart of water in a spray bottle. For washing dishes, use a few drops in a sink full of water. As a body wash, dilute one part soap with three parts water. For hand soap, use a small amount directly or dilute it further in a foaming dispenser. Always shake the bottle gently before use, as separation can occur.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike conventional soaps, this castile soap is made from vegetable oils, not animal fats. Its concentrated nature means a little goes a long way, and it is biodegradable. The tea tree oil adds a specific aroma and perceived purifying quality.
Who it is for
This soap is used by individuals seeking a natural and multi-purpose cleaning solution for their homes and personal hygiene routines.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent evaporation. If the soap separates, gently swirl or shake the bottle to recombine the ingredients before use.
