Castile Liquid Soap - Olive Oil based

Castile Soap orginated in Spain using Olive oil only as the vegetable oil content.  These days, there are a lot of variations avaialble, however not very flexible if you or someone you love has a nut allergy.

This is an original recipe of castile liquid soap of pure olive oil and handmade in New Zealand by Amor.  The soap base is 55% olive oil, and then I've diluted it down when it's finished its processing, however it is still a concentrate.

It's a darker yellow than the versions with coconut oil added.  It definitely requires the addition of essential oils for fragrance, unless you love the smell of olives.

It has a pH around 7.4 (normal for skin) and usage is 15-100% of your recipe.
For a facial cleanser or shampoo, add 100% water and max 20 drops of essential oil per 100ml of diluted base.

Low allergen, however like all soaps, it will irritate if it ends up in the eyes.

Skin irritation may occur if used in quantities higher than recommended.
