These sunflower soaps are authentic Castile-type soaps, made from the traditional method of using plant oils. These Castile soaps were made using locally harvested organic sunflower seed oil instead of the olive oil that is traditionally used in Castile soap recipes. Sunflower oil is rich in antioxidants like vitamin E and carotenoids, and has been blended with coconut oil for a gentle, silky lather that leaves your skin feeling fresh and soft. Its so pure, you can use it to bathe in lakes and rivers!
