Green Beaver Concentrated Castile All Purpose Soap (Zesty Orange) - 990ml

ECO-FRIENDLY USES FOR CASTILE SOAP

Castile Soap was named after its birthplace, a region in Spain called “Castile”, where it was first made from olive oil. While it can be made from different plant oils, ours is made from Canadian Organic Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil. This versatile and 100% natural soap can be used as a body wash on all skin types and for so many other hidden uses we couldn’t help but share!

We love the fact that just one bottle of Castile Soap can replace so many bottles of cleaning and personal care products found in most households. Making the switch to a natural and safe cleaning solution is a great decision for yourself and for your family’s health, but it’s also a simple step towards a healthier planet.

Castile Soap is concentrated, so just a little bit goes a very long way. You’ll only need a small amount to tackle grease and dirt throughout your home. It’s also septic-safe and biodegradable and will not promote the growth of toxic blue-green algae in our lakes and rivers like synthetic detergents do.

Unlike most cleaning products, Castile Soap is very gentle and non-abrasive, which means it can safely be used on furniture, on anyone’s skin, and even on your pets!

We’re so happy to offer three different natural scents and a fragrance-free version of this product and recommend keeping bottles in the laundry room, under the kitchen sink and in your washroom to get the most out of each bottle.

Tip:

Try the frosted mint scent for cleaning your toilet bowls and bathroom sinks!

SKIN HEALTH

The skin is the largest organ in the body. It has several important functions. It acts as a barrier to the external environment including harmful microbes, chemicals and radiation. It allows the exchange of water and some nutrients. It can eliminate toxins, minerals and other substances that have built up inside the body.

It modifies vitamins, like vitamin D, into more active forms. It helps to regulate body temperature. It is a monitor as to the health of our internal environment because the skin is one of the last organs to be nourished. Signs of deficiency often show in the skin before other areas of the body have been affected.

Healthy skin also impacts on our mental and emotional well-being because skin is one of the first things we notice when we see someone. Skin can be used to judge a person's age, social status and health. Billions of dollars are spent each year in the cosmetics and personal hygiene industry. A great majority of this is to make our skin look healthier and more youthful. What can we do naturally to help our skin so that it will be healthy and maintain its youthful appearance?

Skin is made up of several layers. The epidermal outer layer contains keratinized skin cells. It is the fibrous, protective shield for the body. The epidermis is firmly attached to inner layers of irregular connective tissue, the dermis. The dermis contains collagen, the structural support, and elastin, the stretchy support. Only the dermis has blood supply, nutrients reach the outer skin layers only by diffusion.
