Our Castille shreds are a true Castile base using nothing but pure olive oil as it's main ingredient. Although our Castile shreds produce a soap that is softer than most, we decided to use olive oil as it's only ingredient so that we could provide the gentlest soap shreds possible to our customers. These shreds create a mild soap that is gentle and very moisturizing, with a very creamy lather. It's so creamy that it feels as if one is bathing with a bar of solid whipped cream. This base has a very faint green tint due to the olive oil so colors may not be as vibrant in your handmilled soaps, but they will certainly be beautiful.
