More About the Ingredients

Castile Soap is a vegetable oil-based soap that is non-toxic and safer than conventional soaps and cleaning products. My favorite brand is Dr. Bronner’s. It can be used for so many things including hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, and even for skin care.
Lemon Essential Oil is one of my favorite oils to clean with. It smells great and it’s a powerful cleaning agent. It helps to purify the air and is a natural deodorizer. It’s also known to help kill viruses and bacteria. Making it a great ingredient to add to cleaning products.
Tea Tree Essential Oil is another favorite oil to add to cleaning products. It’s one of the strongest oils to clean with. Just like lemon oil, it can help to purify the air and is a natural deodorizer. It can also help to kill viruses and bacteria.

Dr. Bronner’s

Unscented Castile Liquid Soap

Castile liquid soap is my go-to because it’s natural, gentle, and endlessly versatile for body, home, and more.
