What is Castile Soap? Uses and benefits

Updated: Mar 19, 2023



My Dear Readers,


My passion is to read, learn and experience life to its fullest. I feel that living a lifestyle that includes physical activity, making healthier food choices, and integrating products into my daily routine that are clean and green, keeps me feeling physically and emotionally healthy. If you’re a frequent reader of my blog, you know that Castile Soap fulfills those requirements.


Castile Soap is made from safe, simple organic oils. Powerful enough to clean your floors, yet safe for even the most sensitive skin types without drying. What is it about Castile Soap that makes it today’s most popular cleaning product? What are its uses and benefits? Let’s start by taking a walk down memory lane.


History of Castile Soap

Historically, Castile Soap usage seems to coincide with personal hygiene routines recorded as early as the 11th century. Production of Castile Soap began in the Castile Region of Spain where there was an abundance of olive oil (its primary ingredient). Over time, its popularity and reach throughout Europe increased, and it became commercially available. Since then, variations of Castile soap were made by combining other readily available and inexpensive plant-based oils – including coconut, hemp, jojoba, and palm oil. Long before “veganism” gained popularity, Castile Soap was always animal fat-free.


Today, Whole Naturals Castile Soap is made from USDA organic oils – including prickly pear, argan, jojoba, olive, apricot, almond & hemp oils. We are proud to let our community know that we are the first Castile Soap Company to be certified Palm Oil Free by POFCAP.
