Foaming Liquid REAL Soap Made From Plants: Concentrated
Foaming Liquid REAL Soap Made From Plants: Concentrated
Concentrated REAL SOAP liquid. Dilute 3:1 (Water to Soap) and use in a foaming dispenser.
Experience a rare luxury once reserved for royalty with my pure artisan liquid soap. Enjoy the silky, smooth, luxurious lather, natural aroma and skin conditioning ONLY offered by Real Soap made from the RIGHT BASE OILS (scroll down to learn more about my artisan Olive Oil Soap)
THIS IS NOT a heavily perfumed detergent masquerading as soap (think Ms. Myers) and a FAR cry from harsh, commercial liquid castile soaps you may have tried in the past (think Dr. Bronners).
CONCENTRATED: EACH 8 OUNCE BOTTLE OF CONCENTRATED SOAP = 3 OF MY BAR SOAPS.
Formulated to be diluted and used in a foaming dispenser (you can purchase a labeled plastic dispenser here from the drop-down menu)
_______________
RESERVATIVE FREE + VEGAN + 100% BIODEGRADABLE + ESSENTIAL OILS
NO SYNTHETIC PERFUM or FRAGRANCE, DYE, SLS, PARABENS
HAND WASHING: Toss the synthetic, antibacterial soap and make the move to real soap for the whole family. Those chemicals in antibacterial soap are unnecessary. Thorough washing with true soap is all you need to clean your hands; if you’re using my soap, you’re conditioning them at the same time.
BODY WASH: This formula creates a mild soap, an excellent choice for sensitive skin. Choose my Lavender Dreams.
FOR BABIES: I wish every new baby were bathed with my Lavender Dreams. Scroll down to learn more about WHY real soap matters … studies prove it’s the foundation of healthy skin.
DILUTE AND USE IN A FOAMING SOAP DISPENSER: Add a foaming dispenser from the drop down menu. I also have a selection of glass and aluminum foamer bottles in my boutique here in Crested Butte which I can add to your order. Please reach out to me for pictures - all priced at $18.00.
My artisan soap is a rare luxury based on an ancient soap once available only to the rich, elite, and royalty.
Not all liquid oil soap (aka “castile”) is made equal. The choice of oils used to create the soap is of the utmost importance!
Today, there are thousands of vegetable oils to choose from for soap making. Some oils, when saponified, make a harsh soap, while others make mild, conditioning soaps.
Each oil chosen for the blend brings specific properties. An artisan soap made from olive fruit oil and the pressed oil from the seed of the hemp plant creates a luxurious, emollient soap much like the fine artisan soap once produced by secretive soap guilds in ancient Spain. My castile is based on these ancient recipes; it is a fine artisan soap that can improve skin function.
What’s this soap made from? Plants, of course!
Organic Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil: the top pick for a super conditioning soap and the foundation of true castile.
Organic Unrefined Hemp Seed Oil: Hemp seed oil is used extensively in soap making. It has similar properties to olive oil in soap making. Hemp seed oil is pressed from the seed of the hemp plant, not the marijuana plant.
Castor Oil: brings exceptional cleansing properties; just a little is needed.
Coconut oil: just a tiny bit for its powerful cleansing properties and big bubbles.
Essential oil enhanced: Just the natural aroma from plants, of course. No perfume. Scroll down to see all the scented options.
Plant extracts: infused glycerites bring extra conditioning and some natural color.
Have you tried commercial castile from the store? Keep reading!
When I am talking to people in my store about liquid castile soap, they often report having tried commercial castile soap but stopped when they started to have skin issues. Why is that?
The vast majority of us looking for natural soap try commercial liquid castile at some point in our lives. If you did, you probably discovered that your skin became irritated, dry, itchy, flaky, and tight. There’s a reason for that! Some oils make a deeply conditioning, skin-nourishing soap, but others make harsh soaps that can damage the skin. It has to do with the chemistry of the oils used to create that soap: Soap made with a high volume of coconut oil is going to be very harsh and is unsuitable for skin. Commercial liquid castile soaps are made almost entirely from coconut oil, and this matters A LOT! It’s ok for household chores (sort of) and as a stain remover, but that’s it. It’s actually shocking to me that these commercial castile soaps are advertised as suitable for our skin - they are NOT.
Does this soap create bubbles? Foam? Lather?
When used as suggested in a foaming dispenser, air is added as you pump, resulting in a nice big pile of foamy soap. So YES, it will provide you with the lather we all love!
It is important to know that how much your soap bubbles and lathers has NOTHING TO DO with how well it cleans, we’ve just come to expect that from soap. Most of the “liquid soap” you’re familiar with is not soap at all, but a complex blend of synthetic, foaming detergents! We call them soap, but they are not soap - THIS IS REAL SOAP!
This pile of foam is what you get from my soap used in a foam dispenser.
HOW TO USE:
This soap should be diluted. Mix roughly 1 part soap to 3 parts water in your dispenser. This soap is effective at much higher dilutions, too, but as you add more water, you reduce the foam and the aroma.
You can make this soap stronger by under-diluting it too, for a thicker soap and more foam. Try 1:1 or 1:2.
For sensitive skin, babies and kids, please consider over-diluting a little, so about 1 part soap to 4 parts water.
FOR HAND WASHING
Suffering from really chapped, parched skin? Your choice of hand soap matters … a lot.
Oil soaps are real soap, proven to reduce the chance of developing persistent dryness and skin damage caused by “soap-like” detergents. These “soap-like” products are called “soap” - but they are not soap; they are synthetic detergents made from petroleum-based surfactants. They don't get your hands any cleaner than real soap, and often include toxic, antibacterial ingredients. They’re shown not to do a better job than old-fashioned real soap, but they can, and do, often cause skin damage in the long run.
FOR BATH AND BODY
Those who do not use a loofah, sponge, or washcloth will enjoy this soap. But if you do prefer to use a loofah, sponge, or washcloth, you might not love this soap. That is because it does not have persistent bubbles; they dissipate quickly when used with a cloth or sponge. Choose my artisan bar soaps instead, since they offer big bubbles and lasting lather.
Sensitive skin, babies & kids?
LAVENDER DREAMS (was OH BABY) is an excellent choice for bath and body for those who have very sensitive skin, babies and kids.
To help support the healthy development of baby’s skin organ, I strongly encourage you to choose real soap (NOT DR. BRONNERS or Baby Wash!) Choose Lavender Dreams (formerly Oh Baby) from the drop down menu. Also a great choice for gifting to new mom’s.

What do I mean by “Plant Extracts”: To each variety of my liquid soaps, I add some glycerites infused with flowers and plants! These add extra conditioning, and some natural color.
GLYCERIN CONTENT ..
Glycerin is naturally present in our skin; glycerin is a Natural Moisture Factor. Glycerin is naturally created when making real soap, it’s a byproduct of saponification. All handcrafted oil soaps retain their natural glycerin.
Vegetable glycerin is entirely safe and non-toxic and has been well-studied for decades. Extracted and purified, it’s renowned for its ability to condition and nourish our skin! Glycerin is one of the most effective humectants in skincare and is naturally present in the cells of every plant and animal. You might read that glycerin is toxic - this is flat out wrong - so much misinformation out there! Vegetable glycerin is entirely safe; it is NOT a toxic chemical. End of story!
These liquid soaps do not require a preservative and none is used. The shelf life of an unopened bottle is years! Once opened, keep the lid on tight to preserve the essential oil aroma. Do not add water directly to the bottle of concentrated soap.
Once diluted, please use up what is in your dispenser in 2 months. Discard after that. Always rinse the dispenser and pump with hot water between refills. Allow the pump and bottle to dry completely before refilling. Instructions for cleaning and replacing are included with each purchase.
This liquid soap is a handmade, artisan product, made in tiny batches to ensure freshness.
Old fashion liquid soaps are challenging to create and require close attention to details. Expect some variation from batch to batch and some separation; shake the bottle well before diluting.
