Dilution Guide

​​

1. Castile paste is diluted using hot distilled, spring or drinking water.

2. Dilute paste using the following ratio: 1 part Castile paste to 4 parts water. This yields a 20% soap. (You can add more or less water to change the concentration if desired.)

3. In a large pot, bring water to a boil.

4. When the water is boiling, turn off heat add the paste and stir to combine by dispersing paste in water as much as possible.

5. Cover tightly with a fitted cover to allow paste to melt completely. That can take up to 8 hours depending on how much soap you’re diluting. When the soap is dissolved, let it cool.

6. Transfer contents to a bottle with a tight seal. Please note, the soap will be thin like water which works great in hand pumps or foaming bottles.

7. Your concentrated Castile liquid is now ready to use!

8. Soap may be stored up to year in a cool dark place.
