Natural Castile Soap Original - 4 Oz Each, 3 Ct

This soap works great if you have hard water. It lathers up quickly. Has a calming fragrance. I've used it for 70 years.

This stuff is really great. I've used it in the bath and it gets your skin very clean. I enjoy the scent. Well, I don't know if it's the scent of the soap or added fragrance. I think it's just the scent of the soap. Whatever, this soap doesn't give me a rash. It's very mild and gentle. That's exactly why I use it in my laundry. I buy the best variety pack in the world, which contains washing soda and borax, and I buy this soap. Here is the recipe: 1 cup of washing soda 1 cup of borax 1 grated bar of this soap And grate it by hand for the best results. Use two tablespoons per load. Fill a downy ball with vinegar if you want. I don't usually, but it helps everything rinse clean. You might as well know that I don't use this stuff in the bath anymore. I don't know why. I guess people just change. I once used another soap for laundry because I couldn't get this, and it didn't work as well. Like Fels Naptha works, but unless you want your skin to start itching, I wouldn't use it. No. If you are a rashy kind of person, let me tell you what to do. Drink plenty of water and stop using chemicals on your body. When my little brother, who is the most environmentally conscious person I know, moved in with me, he insisted on using this laundry soap. I'm all like, hey, I buy the gentle stuff. He's like, whatever, make your own. It's so much cheaper. I'm like, whatever, it won't work as well and I want clean clothes. I said that because it's true. I want clean clothes. LOL And then my brother just made some and I'm like OMG it's a powder and I don't want to use powder detergent. So he goes, whatever, just do your laundry this way. FML but I have to say that I was so dumb about laundry soap. I am usually dumb about trying new things. This works better than anything. Like my clothes get very clean. They never have been so clean. Also, all the rashes on my back and neck are gone. And I'm not hurting the environment. I do not exaggerate. This is a remarkable soap. OH, I forgot to say that you shouldn't eat processed food.

This is an old-fashioned HARD-WORKING soap. "Castile" traditionally means a hard white soap. It's usually made with olive oil, but as the Kirk's label states, this is "coco" castile, made with coconut oil. I always have it in my house because there is no soap around that will get out blood stains and ground dirt and even grass stains like Kirk's Castile. I scrub Kirk's on the cloth by hand with cold water and rinse with cold water. Repeat if needed. It has always worked for me if I haven't already washed the fabric in a washer and dried it (which usually means the stain is set). As a hard soap, Kirk's makes a good lather and rinses clean. It is not an emollient soap - so if you are looking for a soap that will ease dry skin, this is not it. The advantages of NOT being emollient is that a bar lasts longer, it cleans without excess oils getting in the way of the cleaning process, and, as I wrote, it rinses cleanly with no "soft" residue for babying the skin. But because it is not emollient, this is not a soap if you have dry skin. I've read some unfavorable reviews on this page, and I can understand their frustration. It says right on the wrapper, "Ultra Gentle with No Drying Residue". The 2nd part is absolutely correct. The 1st part isn't, in my opinion, but that's why I LOVE Kirk's Castile. A person may be sensitive to an ingredient in the soap, but maybe there is difference between " hypoallergenic" and "lotion-y" or similar. We use it at the sink, but not in the shower/bath. I would not be without this soap for about 30 years now. A new bar is 3 5/8" long, 2 3/8" wide and over 7/8" deep. This is a big bar for some soapholders, 4 oz (113 gm) a bar. Kirk's is made in the U.S.A. Per the label: "Since 1839, Kirk's master soap makers have formulated this hypoallergenic skin care bar with all natural coconut oil. Unlike other national brands, Kirk's Original Coco Castile contains no animal by-products that can irritate sensitive skin. No synthetic detergents, like sodium lauryl sulfate, either." To each his own when it comes to soap, but I am a long-time fan of Kirk's. Happy Reader

I love this soap. I have used it for my face, my body, and once even on my hair. I was on a rustic camping trip and forgot shampoo. I really needed to wash my hair, so I figured it may make it feel gross but at least it would be clean. To my shock, it lathered wonderfully and my hair felt great after it dried! I was tempted to use it when I returned home but decided against it in case it would build up over time. It has a pleasant smell, but not a perfume smell. Personally I like the smell of traditional liquid castile soap, but I know everyone doesn't. This does not have that same smell, just sort of neutral actually. It feels smooth in my hands when I am lathering up (which it does lather very nicely on skin in addition to hair), and it leaves my skin feeling clean without being oily or dry. My kids are grown, so I can't say if it would be good on the skin of babies or small children. However with its natural ingredients, unless your child has very sensitive skin, I would think it would work nicely and you could use it from head to toe, making bathtime less hectic. Maybe try it on a small spot first to see how they react. I bought this first in a gift shop and couldn't locate it elsewhere, so I was so happy when I saw it on Amazon.

feeling clean and fresh

Lathers in our hard water. Mild pleasant smell.

The only soap I basically use. Love this soap. Father's well, less ingredients, more healthy for my sensitive skin. Hard to find in my local market and stores. Amazon is the best place to purchase. Bye the best quantity price wise.

Great for washing hair and body. Works great on greasy dishes too

Sehr zufrieden

If all you have ever really used are liquid body washes or regular soap bars, then you are in for a treat with this soap! It has the most amazing, luxurious, super soft and sudsy feel to it with a little soap going a long, long way! Just the pure joy of smelling its faint scent combined with seeing so many little balls of lather foam up all around your skin is worth the $6 price per bar alone, but as another reviewer was saying, it cleared up ALL her skin issues so that’s good on a whole different scale / level. Remember, this is an old-fashioned soap recipe from the 1800’s and well, they just don’t make anything like they use to with today’s “bottom line” so when you find a product like this still going the extra mile to keep their product a quality one, well I for one am going to support it, specially if it provides me with flawless skin too!

Great soap, I use it to make my own laundry powder with a Amish recipe and it works well

Este jabón me encanta. Siento que me deja la piel súper limpia y fresca cada vez que lo uso. Además, los ingredientes son buenísimos, así que me da mucha confianza usarlo todos los días. ¡Totalmente recomendable si buscas algo natural y efectivo!

El envío a sido rápido, y el producto es igual a la descripción. Todavía no lo he probado pero tiene buena pinta, todo lo que sea mejor para el medio ambiente es bienvenido.
