For centuries, the name Castile has been associated with the highest quality in soap. But Castile — made from olive oil, traditionally in factories — has proven hard to translate to craft soapmaking. It has earned a reputation as difficult to make, slow to cure, and lacking in rich lather.
Until now.
Anne L. Watson, author of “Smart Soapmaking,” continues her soapmaking revolution with the first practical book on making Castile soap bars at home. With the secrets revealed in this advanced guide, you’ll be making lovely, quick-curing, lather-rich Castile quickly, safely, and reliably.
