Who Wouldn't Pay 75 NT To Live Healthier?

What was the last thing you spent 75 NT on? Did it improve both your health and the earth's?
If there is one thing Mother Earth could do without, it is chem-filled cleaning products that are on the surfaces of nearly all homes and washed into every waterway.

Is a happy body, home, and earth worth 75 NT?

 If you're thinking that what you currently use can't be ALL that bad, how would you feel about a drop of it on your tongue? The tongue is a highly absorbent surface and so is your skin. Meaning, what is used in your space to wash floors, showers, counters, forks, and chopsticks are all similarly important. 
I present to you the 75 NT option that is safe on your tongue.

“Castile soap is gentle on you and the environment because it’s free of artificial foaming agents, harsh cleansers, deconstructed fatty acids from vegetable oils or fats (aka oleochemicals), petrochemicals and/or chemical anti-bacterial agents (like triclosan). It’s also biodegradeable. Liquid castile soap is so versatile, you’ll wonder how you lived without it so long.”

— Lindsay Coulter, Queen of Green, David Suzuki Foundation

Castile comes in 2 main forms. Liquid and solid bars like you see above. They both lather generously and come unscented or with a fragrance (ideally from an essential oil or other chem-free source). But what is it actually made from? The truest castiles are made with olive oil as it was originally made in Castile, Spain. Today, it can be made with several plant based oils like coconut. Added to these is an alkali, usually sodium or potassium hydroxide, and voila! A earth-friendly soap that has been around for ages!

Castile is fabulously versatile. Used successfully for cleaning nearly every nook and surface in your house, it's also wonderful for use on your face and body. How many of your current cleaning products can you say that for? While the liquid is the most user friendly for cleaning around the house, the bars can be easily converted to liquid for a fraction of the price! Here's how:

It really is that easy. Save money, be a gentler child of Mother Earth, and reduce the products you currently have. It cleans floors, tables, counters, toilets and sinks, and many other places around your home (but  for dishes, try this ). If you are looking to add some anti bacterial action to your castile, simply add tea tree, eucalyptus, or lemon essential oils~ just a few drops will do! Use it in your shower and for hand washing, confident that what you are putting on your absorbent skin and washing down the drain is safe.
 

If DIY isn't your jam, then liquid castile soap is just a click away! Dr. Woods brand is a responsible company and has very affordable 32 oz/946ml   peppermint and almond versions. Dr. Woods brand also makes liquid castile with additional fair trade shea butter and tea tree, peppermint, or almond. Shea butter makes it even better for dry and/or sensitive skin and ideal for shaving. 

Mila Earth is based in Taipei, and lovingly makes liquid castile packaged in beautiful glass bottles, as well as effective castile based laundry detergents . 
How many ways can you think of to incorporate this versatile and biodegradable solution into your life?  Your body and the earth will be grateful for every one.
