Castile Gel Soap (unscented, dispensed in a 640 fl. oz. (5 gal.) cubetainer.) This is the mildest castile soap formula available in the marketplace at this time. This product is free of artificial colors, fragrances, preservatives, animal products, byproducts and testing. Our castile gel liquid soap may be used for hand and body wash, oily hair shampoo and for general purpose cleaning.
This product is ready for you to add whichever ingredients you wish, i.e., a few drops of jojoba for dry skin, Carrot Seed EO for mature skin, Rosemary to perk you up, Sandalwood to calm you, Tea Tree for fungus and so on. Please note that if you add too much of a fixed or carrier oil this will cut down on the lathering ability. Great as a hand or face soap and overall body and hair soap. Fine for the dog also, just add Tea Tree and Cedarwood essential oils in very small amounts for fleas, a few drops of jojoba for dry, flaky skin, etc.
Ingredients: Saponified Organic Coconut, Olive, and Jojoba Oils, Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Guar Gum, Rosemary Extract, Organic Aloe Vera. This is a thick product (honey-like consistency), with a dark yellow to dark orange color. Since this is an all natural product, the color may vary from batch to batch, we are not responsible for color variations. Sold by fluid ounce.
NOTE: You may find that some essential or fragrance oils will not mix very well with a soap base which is all natural. Please test carefully using a small amount of soap base and essential or fragrance oils. Some essential oils and fragrance oils may float on top of the mixture if too much is used. You may warm the mixture slightly, stir the oils back in, wait 24 to 48 hours and check for separation. You should always gently stir the base while incorporating additives. Both the base and the additives should be at similar temperatures. Always stir from the bottom up to create as little bubbling action as possible. This is an all natural product with no anti-caking additive. Manufactured in the U.S.

Today I used this gel base to make foaming hand soap, and I will definitely be ordering more, and very soon!
I mixed the gel base with essential oils first, which cause the gel soap to thicken, but it seems to hold the scent better. The mix thins out easily with water, so no problem at all.
The later was very thick and rich. The gel soap has very little scent to start, so I needed very little EO in comparison to other liquid castile bases to get a nice, but not overpowering scent.
My only critique is that the mix ends up cloudy. Maybe it's from adding the EO first, so next time I will try adding it after the water. This is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. Very worth the money!
Thanks Camden Grey!

HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: Are sold only in the quantities/net weights listed on our website. These oils are shipped to us by the distiller or manufacturer in industry-standard metal or plastic containers and that’s how we ship them to you.
Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
Soft butters such as Horsetail and Almond are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles; those butters may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. Hard butters such as Cocoa are dispensed factory-wrapped in plastic and placed inside a box. Castile Gel is dispensed in a self-contained cubitainer with pouring spout.
NOTE: While the packaging methods mentioned above are generalized, we reserve the right to dispense and ship in any available container. If a customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring an essential or carrier oil to glass, this should be done.
Raw materials/ingredients are sold and dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces are in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs and FOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames and from varnished or wood surfaces. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets.
