Castile soap is my new go to for green cleaning. For someone like me with many allergies, harsh, chemical cleaners can actually make my allergies worse. Honestly, I foist a lot of the bleaching and chemical cleaning off on my husband because breathing in the fumes makes it hard for me to breathe and getting it on my skin can cause reactions. Castile soap, however is hypoallergenic (unless you are allergic to the scent)! This soap is a close cousin to the milennia old Allepo soap and is made from a blend of natural oils, usually olive or vegetable oils. Trinova does not specify which oils they use. You can buy it in bar form, but I prefer the liquid form, as I can dilute it easily (no grating it!) and blend in any extra ingredients. The unscented is probably the safest and most versitile, since I can buy one bottle and add my own essential oils for scent and effectiveness.
My favorite use is as a gentle, non-drying hand soap. I dilute it with a ratio of 1 part soap to 2 parts water and add a few drops of my favorite essential oil. I like calming lavender for the bathroom, but lemon or orange for the kitchen.
You can also turn it into a free and clear laundry soap, if you or a loved one is allergic to commercial laundry soaps. You can also use it to make various household cleaners, even dish soap and glass cleaner!
You can purchase Trinova on Amazon.
