FAQ

Don Quixote, what exactly is Castile Soap?

Ah, noble seeker of truth! Let me regale thee with the tale of Castile soap.

In the fabled land of Castile, where olive trees sway like gallant knights upon the breeze, this soap did first arise, wrought from the golden nectar of the olive, unmarred by the foul tallow of beasts or the sinister concoctions of the modern age.

It is said that with but a single bottle of Castile soap, one may vanquish the grime of both body and spirit, leaving naught but the scent of victory and the feel of silk upon one's noble skin. It doth cleanse without cruelty, for no beast is harmed in its making, and no dark potion shall assault the senses.

Translation - Castile Soap is an ancient method of soapmaking made with a base of olive oil. It creates a gentle, luxurious natural soap free from animal products and nasty chemicals. It is also biodegradable and fantastic for sensitive skin.

Don Quixote, why is big soap so evil?

There's SO many reasons why you should not buy big brand 'soap'.

Not only are they all owned by humongous multi-national corporations that do not support local communities. They also cause documented environmental and social damage, some of the worst examples include:

  1. Unsustainable Palm Oil farming
  2. Chemical runoff from manufacturing sites into our precious ecosystem
  3. Plastic packaging waste
  4. Extremely high energy usage in production
  5. Ethical supply chain labour violations

We may be biased, but you should reaaaally consider switching to our biodegradable Castile Soap.
