Out with the Old Bar: The Superior Suds of Liquid Soaps for Modern Cleanliness

Embrace Radiant Skin: Discover the Gentle Power of Liquid Soaps for Ultimate Cleanliness and Skin Health Over the years, we have been asked why we make only liquid soaps. Bar soap is widespread, and natural bar soap is impossible to make with the essential oil combinations that we insist on using. Ironically, it is the same reason we cannot make lip balms. The formulations will not permit the essential oil needed for the soap to be effective. Conversely, liquid Castile and Castile-like soaps are excellent carriers for large amounts of essential oils needed to be effective and therapeutic.

Most Castile soaps range from 9.6 to 11 moving more to the alkaline side. Keys® soaps go more into the 8.5 to 9.6 range, making them milder. On top, we add back into the mix after saponification more avocado oil and essential oils, as well as Neem and Karanja oil, in the case of MetaClea, for functionality. The alkalinity of soap is determined by its pH level. pH is a scale that measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.
