How is Castile Soap made?
Soap is made by saponifying a fat or oil with an alkali.
Organic/Fair Trade Coconut, Palm Kernel, Olive, Hemp & Jojoba oil are used.
👉 For liquid soap, the alkali is potassium hydroxide.
👉 For bar soap, the alkali is sodium hydroxide.
Alkali's are made by running electricity through salt water.
No alkali remains in the final product of Dr Bronner's Castile Soap
Saponification process
'A simple one-step reaction with no waste generated'.
🌟 Glycerin is split off from the fatty acids
🌟 Fatty acids combine with the sodium or potassium to form soap, the hydroxide forms water
Resulting in: A high quality, no-tox, versatile soap for cleaning the home and body
Dr Bronner's liquid soaps are three times more concentrated than most liquid soaps on the market, which means more soap per bottle and less waste in packaging materials.
