Description
🧼 The slow bar that rewards patience like no other.
A gentle, olive-rich castile in the old style — unscented, simple and kind. "Bush Baby" is our family's nickname for it; the guide makes no medical claims, just beautiful mild soap.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• Full cold-process recipe: 1,000 g of oils at 85% olive, NaOH 132 g and water 264 g at a 5% superfat — every figure calculated and checked
• A pre-worked 100%-olive variation (NaOH 127 g) for the purists
• Tina's step-by-step method, unmoulding and cutting
• The honest castile cure: six weeks minimum, better at three months, best at six — and why it is worth the wait
• A troubleshooting table and printable gift labels
⚠️ SAFETY DONE PROPERLY
A full safety page covers lye handling start to finish — gloves and goggles, lye into water (never the other way), no aluminium, spills and first response, cure-before-use and patch testing.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
Castile the Australian way — olive oil, patience, and nothing to prove. No scent, no colour, no claims: just the mildest bar in our whole collection.
