Five Reasons to Love Our Body Wash and Shampoo

This body wash and natural shampoo has been gaining popularity over the last year. We're glad word is getting out about how wonderful this product is. Here's five reasons we love this!

1. No sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or petrolatum -- these are never in our soaps or other products.
2. It's dual-purpose since it functions as both a body wash and a shampoo. If you're looking to simplify, this is a great way to do it! Less bottles and less clutter. 
3. It's gentle on your hair and skin. Detergents can be harsh and drying-- but this is true soap, not a detergent. The combination of castor oil, olive oil, and coconut oil in this soap effectively cleanses and refreshes your skin and hair without stripping it of its natural oils. This is especially good news for color-treated hair.
4. Customers report more manageable hair and great-feeling skin. 
5. Choose from so many amazing fragrances to lift your spirit and brighten your mood!

We'll let you in on a little secret. The reason this soap works so well as a dual purpose body wash and a shampoo is partly due to the castor oil used to make this soap. Castor oil has fallen out of popularity lately, so it may be surprising that it's such an amazing skin care oil. By itself it's a bit sticky and thick (albeit incredibly beneficial), but in soap it is fabulous! It is truly a soap-makers dream. It comes from the seeds of the ricinus communis plant, indigenous to tropical areas of Africa and Asia.

Castor oil, when used in soap, creates a rich, creamy lather that is conditioning and moisturizing. This combination is ideal for a shampoo as well as a general soap. It's also a humectant, which means it attracts water to your skin. The reason castor oil has these fabulous properties in soap is due to its unique fatty acid content -- mostly Ricinoleac Acid, but also Oleic and Linoleic Acids. Castor oil is a one-of-a-kind gem for soap making and skin care!
