Are we talking at all about the same thing? <duh!!!!> All the term castile means is the soap is either mostly olive oil .. or all olive oil .... has nothing to do with whether it is a hard bar or liquid soap. That has to do with the kind of lye used (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide) You can take a plain bar of olive soap if you wanted .. grate it up, add water, herbs and EO's to it and get a nice bar of soap that you created Taht is pretty much what my base is .. a nice unscented olive oil soap ready for you to play with. > > > Hugs, > > Marilyn *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
