OK, I always thought the name derived from the Spanish province of "Castela" where they have beem making olive soap for centuries, but if it is Bastille, I suppose it was named after the fortress and prision in Paris wich played a significant role in the french revolution.

My cubic soap (almost, it´s 4x4x5 cm). The colours are natural clays from the Mediterranean sea, and they are 65% Olive 30% Coconut and 5% Cocoa Butter / Shea Butter.

Bastille or Castille ? Anyway, I made a few with both 10% and 5 % castor ( reduced to 5 % because it was tracing too fast), and they were perfect, so I don´think the castor is the problem. Good luck :wink:

I just made a batch white with black charcoal swirls. I will unmold tomorrow, and then we'll see... :shock:
