Hi there Lauren! If you find that the Pure-Castile Soaps are too drying for your skin, we highly recommend using our Organic Sugar Soaps or Organic Shaving Soaps, as these are our most moisturizing lines: bit.ly/drbsdryskin ~Andre’

Soap was made by pioneers by mixing fat from their animals with ashes from the fire. The soap was pretty strong stuff, but that’s how it was done way back when in this country.

I worked with soap, so I’m comfortable with the natural soap, and not comfortable with the stuff that’s mass produced, for a number of reasons.

EDTA is added in a number of personal care products because most people have hard water. EDTA binds to the calcium and magnesium, allowing the soap to bubble more. People generally associate soap cleaning with bubbles. I used to work with shampoo and hand soap formulations, so I’m familiar with EDTA. It’s also used to detox lead, if you’ve had lead poisoning, which my husband had.

My sister brought home some cleaning rags from her granddaughters home and although she had cleaned them out with a commercial cleanser while at the granddaughter’s, they still had a lot of grime and grease left in them. When she got home We let them soak for a few minutes in the Castile soap I had just made, and washed them out with warm water. All the dirt, grime and grease was completely gone. The only thing left in them was a faint stain from some Turmeric, and that was barely noticeable I may never buy commercial cleaning products again.

Use the soapcalc.net lye calculator to determine how much oil, water, and sodium hydroxide per batch. I have a gas stove, so after I make the soap, I place it into the mold(s) and store in the oven for at least 24 hours, up to 4 days. Then remove from the oven, set on the counter to harden (it is extremely soft at this stage). Once it has reached a firm stage then I can cut the soap into bars. Then I allow them to seriously harden, like rocks. Then I set it aside for 6 months’ dehydration. A person can let it sit for 12 months. The longer it sits, the milder it becomes. So, basically, between 2 to 12 months the soap can be used for any of the above-mentioned uses.

No it will kill your plants. It is plant based but once it goes through soponification it chemically changes the oils and they plants do not like it.

The reason your sink is so dry is because Dr Bronners uses mostly coconut oil in their recipe. When coconut oil goes through the soponification (turns into soap) it no longer is hydrating- it becomes a cleaning agent. If you choose a castile soap that is made from exclusively or at least 90 percent olive oil it will be much more hydrating.

For hand washing I use Mama Suds Liquid Castile Soap and we love it! I just dilute it with distilled water in a glass foaming soap dispenser.

However, as I was reading your post I noticed that you recommend mixing vinegar with castile soap. I had previously read elsewhere that castile soap and vinegar should not be mixed because it loved the pH when combined and you need an acidic product to clean. What are your thoughts?

Yes, white vinegar will help for the residues and if you put some in your last rinse of laundry, it rinses out chemicals. My mother used it all the time for her laundry and they came out soft, with no vinegar smell.
