What You Should Know Before Buying Castile Soap

What should you know before buying Castile soap? Well… that it’s not your run-of-the-mill soap. Not even close. (But more on that in a minute).

Did you know that humans have been producing a practically perfect body cleanser for more than 600 years?

“Impossible!” you may say. “What did they know about soap in the Middle Ages?”

Well, as it turns out, they were ahead of the times when they started producing what we now know is the ultimate O.G. cleanser, Castile soap.

Castile soap, named for the sunny Castile region of Spain, might be an ancient cleanser that’s been around for hundreds of years, but it’s still as relevant today as ever. 

In fact, even today, it’s the mildest, most natural of all soaps. 

Pretty cool, right? And speaking of pretty, what are some beauty benefits of Castile soap? Let’s take a look.

Beauty Benefits of Castile Soap

At Clean Rebellion, we make our Castile soap right: From organic olive oil, just like the oil that was used to make it way back in the day in Spain. And, since our soap is composed of vegan, non-toxic ingredients, it’s both natural and effective.

Back in 1600, when importers began bringing Castile soap to England, people recognized its benefits, and it replaced fat-based cleansers as people’s favorite soap!

Our version is made with a silky blend of olive oil soap and essential oils. In other words? It’s both mild and gently fragrant. And it isn’t just nontoxic – it’s also loaded with naturally-sourced antioxidants to help combat free radicals.

We use 100% pure, organic olive oil — not palm oil, fat, or any harsh, mass-produced, or cruel replacement that might affect quality. We’re committed to using the best ingredients, just as in the Castile soap of centuries ago.
