Coconut-Free Liquid Castile Soap

Most liquid castile soaps, including the most popular national brand, use coconut oil as the primary base. This one doesn't. The formula uses olive oil, hemp seed oil, castor oil, and jojoba oil. No coconut oil. No coconut-derived surfactants. No synthetic additives.
If you've used a castile-style soap and reacted to it, coconut oil is often the reason. This formula removes it entirely.
What's In It
Ingredients: Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Aqua, Cannabis Sativa Seed (Hemp) Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol
In plain terms: olive oil, water, hemp seed oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, glycerin, and a preservation system to keep the formula stable. Nothing else.
How to Use It
- Foaming hand soap: Mix 1 part castile with 4 parts distilled water in a foaming pump dispenser.
- Standard pump hand soap: Mix 2 parts castile with 1 part distilled water.
-
Body wash: Use a small amount directly in the shower. A little goes further than you expect.
- Face wash: Dilute significantly and rinse thoroughly. Real soap has a higher pH than skin.
- Light all-purpose spray: Mix 1 teaspoon per quart of water for a gentle surface cleaner.
One 16 oz bottle yields months of hand soap for most households when diluted at the standard foaming ratio.
Who This Is For
This soap is a good fit for anyone with coconut sensitivity, fragrance sensitivity, or a reaction history with products labeled natural. The ingredient list is short and every item in it is named.
It's also practical for anyone looking to reduce the number of products in their home. One concentrate handles hand soap, body wash, and light cleaning.
A Note on Lather
This soap lathers differently than commercial liquid soaps. Coconut oil produces the dense, voluminous bubbles most people associate with clean. Without it, lather is softer and less dense. That's a formulation difference, not a performance issue. The soap cleans effectively -- it just doesn't perform for an audience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really coconut-free? Yes. No coconut oil and no coconut-derived ingredients at any stage of production. Olive oil, hemp seed oil, castor oil, and jojoba oil are the only oils used. The full ingredient list is above.
How is this different from Dr. Bronner's? Dr. Bronner's uses coconut oil as its primary base -- potassium cocoate appears first or second on their ingredient list. This formula uses olive oil as the primary base with no coconut oil or coconut derivatives. For anyone avoiding coconut, that's the functional difference.
Why is the lather soft? Is something wrong with it? Nothing is wrong. True liquid soap made without synthetic thickeners or coconut oil lathers differently than commercial soap. It works best in a foaming pump dispenser, which creates foam with minimal product. If you're expecting the thick, dense lather of a commercial hand soap, this will feel different -- but it cleans just as effectively.
Why is it thick? This is a true concentrate. It's formulated to be diluted before use, which is why it pours with some body. Follow the dilution ratios above for best results.
Can I use this as shampoo? Some people do. Real soap has a higher pH than hair and scalp, which can cause temporary dryness or buildup depending on your water and hair type. If you try it, dilute first and expect a short adjustment period.
How long does one bottle last? As foaming hand soap at a 1:4 ratio, a 16 oz bottle fills roughly four to five standard foaming dispensers. For a two-person household at one sink, expect 2-4 months from a single bottle.
For foaming dispensers, the glass foaming pump bottle works well with this castile. For bar soap options in a coconut-free formula, browse the coconut-free collection.
