Hello from Greece
According to Greek law you can call your soap a) Pure Castile type only if contains 100% Extra virgin olive oil, no color, no scent. It’s just lye and and extra virgin olive oil.
b) You can call your soap Castile type only if contains 100% olive oil (no pomace), no color, no scent. It’s just lye and and olive oil
c) You can call your soap “olive oil soap” only if it contains more than 60% olive oil.
So when you use pomace in your soap, even if it’s 100% pomace, you can’t call it castile type. It’s just an olive soap. All these according to Greek law of course…..
Has anybody try to add salt and sugar to a castile type soap? Do we have better lather and harder soap this way????
Thats interesting laws. Is it because Greece is known for it's olive products? Or some other reason?
