Vegetarians and vegans, rejoice: One of castile soap’s distinguishing traits is that it’s made purely of vegetable fat, rather than animal fat like tallow, or other animal by-products like goat’s milk (as is common for most other soaps). It was initially made with olive oil from Spain’s Castile region. Since then, castile soap has expanded to include a mix of vegetable oils like coconut, walnut, castor, hemp and avocado oil. In addition to being animal-friendly, it’s also an environmentally conscious choice, as the soap itself is completely biodegradable. Castile soap is unique in that it’s both gentle and strong; it’s gentle on skin because it’s made from saponified oils that have hydrating properties, but it’s an equally powerful cleanser that can tackle even the most stubborn grime.
