Make your own olive oil soap

There are lots of recipes to make your own soap. A very special one is Castile soap. It’s easy to make, as it requires only three ingredients, and is gentle on your skin. It can be used as hand or body soap or even as cleaning soap! The base of this recipe is olive oil, which has been used for centuries in soaps because of its moisturizing properties. Olive oil also makes the bar harder and longer-lasting than most other oils. If you use high quality olive oil the soap will contain antioxidants and essential fatty acids that are important in maintaining healthy skin and fighting free radicals that lead to aging and other skin conditions. Home made soap is a beautiful gift. Check out a recipe here.
