How to Make Rosemary Castile Shampoo

Last Updated: January 21, 2022 Approved

Castile soap is a generic name given to soap originating from vegetable oil sources (as opposed to the traditional tallow fat). The most common and traditional source of oil used for Castile soap is olive oil but other oils are gaining in popularity, such as jojoba oil. Castile soap is gentle to the skin and scalp. It can be purchased in health food stores or Provence-inspired import stores and some brands carry several different scented versions. Rosemary is known for its health-promoting properties for hair.^{[1]

Do not pour oil near vulnerable surfaces such as wood; it will stain if there are any drips.

Always be careful handling essential oils. When used according to instructions, they are safe but when misused or overused they can be toxic. Ask your supplier for more information if you aren't sure; or check online herbal sites.
