Formulation Castile Soap Body Wash
I brought some liquid castile soap from Blossom. it contains water, potassium oleate, potassium cocoate, glycerin, potassium citrate and citric acid.
If I want to add coconut milk do I need a preservative?
How can I thicken this its watery. I tried salt water didn’t work for me.

Why add coconut milk?
The castile wash, because of its pH of around 9, would be self-preserving. And as long as the addition of coconut milk does not change the pH significantly, then it should be OK. But having said that, any product produced should the tested using standard GMP protocols.

Let’s talk Castile liquid soap.
We see a lot of liquid soap for sale these days by various brands. But too often they are not what they claim to be.
Most are modern syndets. A product made by combining different synthetic detergents. These fakes will often include a “natural” ingredient. Just for appearance’s sake.
Traditional Castile liquid is made using extra virgin olive oil. And they must not contain any added synthetic fragrances, colourings, or preservatives.
However, many factories, which are less likely to respect the traditions and the recipes, have flooded the world with their fake alternatives. They make these fakes with animal fat, sodium lauryl sulfate, and other synthetics.
And why are so many brands selling fake Castile liquid soap?
First, Castile is very popular.
Second, these fake Castile liquid soaps are cheap and easy to make. And when sold as a Castile soap, the profits are huge.
If you are a brand owner wanting to make genuine Castile liquid soap, I can show you how. I specialise in working remotely. I have shown businesses in Africa, SE Asia and Europe how to make Castile liquid soap.
