Unscented Manila Castile Soap

A concentrated liquid castile soap made from three Philippine plant oils — Pili Pulp Oil, Virgin Coconut Oil, and Palm Oil.
Produced through traditional soapmaking and designed to be diluted for everyday use on body, hands, and household surfaces.

• Concentrated formula designed for dilution
• Fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin
• Works as body wash, hand soap, and light household cleaner
• Rinses clean without residue
• Biodegradable and free from synthetic additives

How to Use

For body wash
Dilute 1 part soap to 3 parts water. Apply to skin and rinse thoroughly.

For hand soap
Dilute 1 part soap to 4 parts water. Pour into a pump or foaming dispenser.

For household cleaning
Dilute 1 part soap to 5–10 parts water depending on the surface. Suitable for countertops, floors, and light stain removal.

Use undiluted for heavier cleaning tasks.

The soap may appear thin in consistency. This is normal for castile soaps made with coconut oil and does not affect cleaning performance.

Why It Works

Pili Pulp Oil contributes oleic and palmitic fatty acids that help produce a smooth lather while leaving skin feeling clean without tightness.

Virgin Coconut Oil provides the primary cleansing action. Its natural lauric acid content produces reliable foam and removes surface oils and dirt effectively.

Palm Oil balances the formula by stabilizing the lather and improving rinse quality. It helps prevent the soap from feeling overly drying during repeated use.

Together, the three oils create a castile soap that cleans effectively, rinses completely, and remains stable without synthetic stabilizers.

Botanical and Origin Story

Manila Castile is built entirely from oils native to or cultivated in the Philippines.

Pili Pulp Oil is pressed from the fruit of Canarium ovatum, a tree that grows primarily in the Bicol region of Luzon. Unlike the more commonly used pili kernel oil, the pulp oil is rich, golden, and rarely used in commercial soapmaking. It is sourced directly from Philippine pili processors.

Virgin Coconut Oil is pressed from fresh coconut meat without heat or chemical refining. This preserves its natural fatty acid composition and mild aroma.

Palm Oil completes the base by contributing stability and consistent lather. The oil is sourced from suppliers committed to responsible production practices and supply chain traceability.

Together, these oils create a castile soap whose composition reflects the plant oils of the Philippines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this soap safe to use directly on skin without dilution?
Yes, but it is formulated as a concentrate. Diluting it produces a gentler wash and extends the amount of usable soap per bottle.

Why does the soap look watery?
Castile soaps made with coconut oil are naturally thinner than most commercial liquid soaps. The consistency does not affect cleaning performance.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
The unscented variant contains no fragrance, essential oils, or colorants. Most users tolerate it well. Patch testing is recommended when trying any new soap.

How long does one bottle last?
At a 1:3 dilution ratio, a 250 mL bottle produces roughly 1 liter of ready-to-use body wash. A 1000 mL bottle diluted at the same ratio produces about 4 liters.
