Increase The Viscosity Of Liquid Castile Soap

Castile soap is a natural soap made of vegetable oil (traditionally olive oil) rather than synthetic substances. Since it lacks the chemical ingredients often found in conventional soaps, castile soap is not only better for skin but also better for the environment as it is much more biodegradable. Those who prefer to lessen their carbon footprint use castile soap for skin and hair care as well as household cleaning (surface cleaner, laundry, dish soap). Liquid castile soap is thin and runny, but you can thicken it if you desire.

Instructions

1. Use a measuring cup to measure 1 cup (8 oz.) of the liquid castile soap of your choice, then pour the soap into the mixing bowl.

2. Use the measuring cup to measure 1/2 cup (4 oz.) of common table salt. Add the salt to the mixing bowl with the castile soap.

3. Stir the liquid castile soap and the common table salt with a spoon or other stirring utensil to combine the ingredients. The castile soap mixture will begin to thicken.

4. Carefully pour the thickened mixture into a clean bottle or pump dispenser, using a funnel if desired.

5. Use thickened castile soap mixture as desired.
