| Can anyone tell me what the heck is castille soap? I mean, I have seen it at the stores, but I have no idea what is its "selling" point. Can anyone enlighten me?

| Methinks that castille soap is made with pure olive oil (no other oils). I think it's supposed to be really gentle. Or something. |

| I just purchased some today, mine is Kirk's original coco hardwater castile, a soup made from selected coconut oil. It says on the packaging that it's all natural, hypoallergenic, and no animal by-products. I would like to know also, is that the appeal? |

| ooops, soap, not soup lol |

| From the SFIC Website detailing their Castile Base: Castile soap base: (25-30% kosher grade A extra virgin olive oil) Castile soap is the old time soap made for hundreds of years. Our castile soap base is made from mainly olive oil. It differs from our other opaque soaps due to the replacing most of the coconut oil with olive oil. We also modified the amounts of our other ingredients somewhat so that the Castile base is not a paste. From the SoapBoiler website: From The Real Soap Company: HTH |

| Hi, jumping in here and introducing myself. I'm Debi, and castille is my favorite to make, so far anyway. The ingredients are readily available, the soap itself is mild, and if you have a stick blender, it takes no more time than any other CP to trace. I have a hard time getting my hands on other cp soap oils in any amount that doesn't eat my budget alive. Ordering online is the only way I can get a lot of it and that means huge shipping charges to get a decent amount. That's the only thing that keeps me from buying from Columbus Foods, the $25 shipping for 5 gallons of coconut oil, or any other. Anyway, just thought I'd put in my 2 pence worth.;-) Debi |

| I just ordered from the-buying-group.com and I ordered I think 19 pounds of oils and shipping was under $10.00! Great prices on oils BTW! You don't have to be a member to buy. |
