These are the ideal general purpose products for your skin and your hair, in particular if you have dry skin and damaged, thinning hair.

Liquid Castile soap for hard water:
Hard water reduces the cleaning properties of soap. The minerals in the hard water react with the soap, forming a soap scum, which affects it’s cleaning properties.
We experienced this problem for many years. When we started with manufacturing soap our household water was coming from a borehole. When we used the soap as a shampoo it did not clean the hair properly. There was a residue left on the hair which we initially could not quite explain. Our customers who were using rain water or municipal water were very happy with our soap as a shampoo.
When we moved and had access to “soft” water we immediately noticed the difference. Now on the farm we use rainwater as much as possible, the soap works very well. When we have to change to dam – water which in our case is very hard and contains lots of minerals we cannot use our soaps.
We therefore started to develop a soap which also works with hard water. We added a very mild surfactant which is based on purified coconut oil, a natural and renewable resource and enhances the lathering properties of the bar in hard water. Use of sodium cocoyl isethionate in combo bars also improves their lime soap dispersion properties, thus producing a rich lather that rinses away readily and leaves little soap residue. This product is the main ingredient in the “shampoo bars” which are lately offered on the European market. It is not suspected to be an environmental toxin. We are using it in small quantities in our new “hard water compatible shampoo”. We were blown away by it’s excellent performance even using our hard dam water. The results were as good as using our pure soap based shampoos with rain water.
We have sampled several customers who have hard water problems. They are very happy with the results.
