Unscented Liquid Castile Soap – Vegan Organic Soap & Body Wash, High Olive Oil Content, Non-Drying Formula, Great for Sensitive Skin by Carolina Castile, EWG Verified (Unscented, 1 Gallon)

Of course, you want to know how it compares to the long-time mainstay. Compared to good old Dr. B, it's...different. But very nice. Both are high-quality, organic soaps. Soap is a very personal thing, so keep that in mind. You're basically comparing a coconut/palm oil soap (Dr. B) with an olive/coconut soap (Carolina). My hope was that the Carolina Castile Soap would be less drying to skin, making it comfortable for shaving and shampoo. I can say that for these uses, Carolina Castile Soap delivers. Compared to ordinary shampoo, for me, olive castile feels a little "gummy" going on. I ignore that - it's because it isn't sucking the oil out of my hair. When it dries, my hair feels good, clean, and my scalp remains comfortable for days. Very good for a general-purpose soap! Less need for expensive specialty organic shampoos. For shaving, I find it excellent. Dr. B works well as a shave soap, too, but the Carolina is easier on my skin. Wet shaving is a super-individual thing. My preference is for fast-and-easy, and castile soaps are great for this. A dollop of soap in my palm, roll the damp brush in it, then build the lather on my face. A little sudsy, not Santa Claus. Some say this stuff is harsh if you get it in your eyes. That's probably true, so don't do that! It's castile soap, not baby shampoo! I've used both the lavender and the peppermint versions, and they both feel great and give an excellent shave. Is it delicate enough for your nether regions? Well, that depends a lot on your local water, and your regions. I find it gentler than Dr. B, but our water is hard...real hard. By the time it reaches the tap, our water's done a couple of years in juvy, and is lookin' at time for Grand Theft Auto. So, dependin', you might want to keep your beauty bar around for that sort of thing. Smell is a very personal thing, so YMMV. I like the Carolina scents. Different from Dr. B, but good. The olive oil in the base affects things, a little. Coconut/palm is probably a wee bit more neutral, but we're not talkin' pasta, here. I buy this as soap, not perfume, so I'll trade a few flowers for happier skin. All in all, the Carolina Castile Soap company is producing some very nice stuff. Worth checking out. A little competition in the castile soap market isn't a bad thing. Dr. B still makes great products (including toothpaste and detergent) and is always fun to read, in that VW microbus kinda way. But Carolina is the real deal, too, and worthy of a place on your shelf.

Oh, wow. I just love this versatile Carolina peppermint castile soap! I have sensitive skin and am always on the hunt for hand soaps that won’t make my skin break out. When visiting my sister (who has 3 kids and understandably burns through a lot of hand soap with all the constant handwashing), I noticed that she had a big jug of another similar castile soap of another brand, and she was always refilling her dish wand and soap dispensers with it. I loved it, but was a little off-put by the price of it when I looked it up on Amazon. Somehow, I stumbled on this brand, which was a little more economical. I’m glad I did! First off, this feels like a thin liquid and almost like water, but a tiny bit goes a long way with this one. I was putting this in normal soap dispensers, and was shocked at how much luxurious lather I got from one little squirt. The first squirt, I was worried about how it felt (so watery) until it lathered immediately. Rinsing this off my hands, they feel refreshed with the slightest of tingles. When I checked the back of this very large jug, it gives you instructions for making this into a foaming soap, too - which will make this stretch even further. The peppermint scent is amazing, and this cleans amazingly well while still leaving your hands feel soft. My husband has a “dirty” job and often comes home with grease, mud, and other junk on his hands. He used this once and was stunned. “Wow, what is IN this stuff? It’s amazing!” he said. It cleaned his hands thoroughly in one or two pumps (something that normally would take 3-4 times as much to get his hands clean). I absolutely am obsessed and in love with all mint scents - peppermint, spearmint, whatever...and likewise for taste as well. This soap satisfies my love for all things mint. :) I look forward to washing my hands each and every time. Overall, this is just a fantastic and amazing soap that I feel is BETTER than another well-known, more expensive name brand that also sells peppermint castile soap. It lathers better, smells better, and you can’t beat the better savings for what you’re getting. I can wash my hands in this all day long with no issues whatsoever, which is quite a feat as normal hand soaps break my hands out after only 1-2 washes. I love - LOVE - love this soap! I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Makes my skin feel incredible, so hydrating and nourishing and Luxe. All the ingredients are amazing and it smells delish.

i usually use dr bronners because it’s the only soap that doesn’t break my face out and makes my body actually feel clean. i saw this soap brand and loved the packaging and was curious about the tobacco vanilla scent. idk why i thought it would smell more vanilla-like. if your expecting a “shea butter vanilla”- dont. it smells more so like what the redhot candies taste like. kinda hot and cinnamon like but also sweet. Smell Aside- this is a pretty good soap. Compared to Dr. Bronners it does leave my skin feeling less dry and “squeaky”. i still feel clean but just not completely stripped on moisture. they did a very good job at that, but i’d still follow up with shea butter to make your skin feel more moisturized throughout the day. ALSO- I used it on my face which i was really scared at first because my face is very sensitive to soaps with fragrance or really any soap aside from dr. bronners. i’m still very surprised that i haven’t broken out at all. they did a very good job with making this soap. Over all this is a very solid soap and i’d say they tobacco vanilla more so suits someone more into “man” cinnamon-like scents. I will be buying the unscented soap, once i run out of the tobacco vanilla. and possibly make this soap brand my go-to soap.

Highly recommend this soap. Leaves your skin soft and supple after one use. We use it at gym and camping as well as everyday. Helps keep skin moisturized, especially in winter time. My husband really likes it. Best way to make use of savings, buying gallon jug and refilling containers. Helps recycle bottles. Smells great!

Leaves residue when I washed my hands

Cleans well. I use it as body soap, hand soap, shampoo, laundry soap for handwashing.

Très franchement surpris, nettoie la peau très bien, et même le linge et les sols ! Odeur huile d'olive et citron très agréable. Pas d'allergie ni séchage de la peau. Fabricant/vendeur très PRO et sympa. Dans la composition il y a de l'eau à moins de 50%, de l'huile d'olive biologique (olivate de potassium) entre 30% et 60%...

Smells beautiful. Would buy again.

I use it to make handwash liquid and household cleaner, it does not dry my hands. Also, I add it to my laundry along with washing detergent, washing soda and tea tree oil/eucalyptus oil, the results are good and smell good.
