Castile Gel Soap: This is the mildest castile soap formula available in the marketplace at this time. This product is free of artificial colors, fragrances, preservatives, animal products, byproducts and testing. Our castile gel soap may be used for hand and body wash, oily hair shampoo and for general purpose cleaning.
This product is ready for you to add whichever ingredients you wish, i.e., a few drops of jojoba for dry skin, Carrot Seed EO for mature skin, Rosemary to perk you up, Sandalwood to calm you, Tea Tree for fungus and so on. Please note that if you add too much of a fixed or carrier oil you will cut down on the lathering ability. Great as a hand or face soap and overall body soap. Fine for the dog also, just add Tea Tree and Cedarwood essential oils in very small amounts for fleas, a few drops of jojoba for dry, flaky skin, etc.
Ingredients: Saponified Oils of Coconut, Olive and Jojoba, Aloe Vera, Glycerin/Vegetable Gum Extract, Rosemary Extract. This is a thick product (honey-like consistency), with a dark yellow or dark orange color. Since this is an all natural product, the color may vary from batch to batch, we are not responsible for color variations. Sold by weight.
NOTE: You may find that some essential or fragrance oils will not mix very well with a soap base which is all natural. Please test carefully using a small amount of soap base and essential or fragrance oils. Some essential oils and fragrance oils may float on top of the mixture if too much is used. You may warm the mixture slightly, stir the oils back in, wait 24 to 48 hours and check for separation. You should always gently stir the base while incorporating additives. Both the base and the additives should be at similar temperatures. Always stir from the bottom up to create as little bubbling action as possible. This is an all natural product with no anti-caking additive. Manufactured in the U.S.

Today I used this gel base to make foaming hand soap, and I will definitely be ordering more, and very soon!
I mixed the gel base with essential oils first, which cause the gel soap to thicken, but it seems to hold the scent better. The mix thins out easily with water, so no problem at all.
The later was very thick and rich. The gel soap has very little scent to start, so I needed very little EO in comparison to other liquid castile bases to get a nice, but not overpowering scent.
My only critique is that the mix ends up cloudy. Maybe it's from adding the EO first, so next time I will try adding it after the water. This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Very worth the money!
Thanks Camden Grey!
OUT OF STOCK ISSUES: If a customer orders a large quantity of a product and all of the product is not in stock when the order is entered into our system, once the new stock arrives we will ship separately whatever quantity we may owe the customer.

Should the distiller or vendor inform us restocking will take longer than 7 business days, we’ll promptly notify the customer.
Please note that we do not allow order cancellations for any reason and we don’t allow removal/cancellations of products which become partially or completely out of stock after the customer places an order.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.

Our containers are filled with products to where our commercial digital scales indicate the container should be filled. Some containers will be filled to the top, some will not.
HOW OILS ARE DISPENSED: All our products are dispensed by weight. EO's in 8 oz. through 2 lbs. - amber plastic pharmaceutical-grade bottle. EO's in 5 and 10 lbs. - heavy duty plastic container w/pouring spout, the oil may remain inside the container at least 2 months. EO's in sizes of 25+ lbs. - industry-standard metal or plastic can with a pouring spout, the oil may remain inside the metal can indefinitely and up to 2 months in the plastic pail.

HOW TO STORE: Upon receipt, EO's dispensed in plastic bottles MUST be transferred into amber glass bottles.
