Castile soap is named for the region in Spain where it was originally produced centuries ago. Traditional versions of castile soap are made from 100% olive oil; most castile soap products on the market now are made from a variety of vegetable oils.
A healthy alternative for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive skin, castile soap is extremely mild and can be used for both house cleaning and personal care.
