A Legacy of Purity: Embrace the Gentle Soul of Spanish Castile Soap.
Rediscover Gentle Cleansing: Pure Comfort from Spanish Roots.
Journey with us to the sun-drenched olive groves of Spain, the birthplace of the world’s most revered gentle soap: Castile soap. For generations, families (including my own, Jesica, founder of Ossie Naturals) have trusted this simple yet profound creation, relying on the natural goodness of olive oil to cleanse and care for the most delicate skin. Our Heritage Castile Soap is a heartfelt homage to this enduring tradition, a bar crafted with patience, respect, and the purest intentions.
If your skin craves a cleanser so mild it feels like a whisper, if you’re searching for a truly minimalist formula that offers profound comfort without a hint of harshness, then you’ve found your sanctuary. This isn’t merely soap; it’s a piece of history, a testament to the belief that nature, in its simplest form, provides the most effective care.
We’ve taken the heart of traditional Castile – abundant, pure Olive Oil – and added just a touch of Castor Oil for a more satisfyingly creamy lather, along with soothing honey. Then, we allow it to cure patiently, for six months to a full year, transforming it into an exceptionally gentle bar that offers unparalleled kindness to your skin.
What Makes Our Gentle Soap Special:
The Essence of Spanish Tradition & Gentle Care
Our Heritage Castile Soap is a celebration of minimalist purity and the profound power of its core ingredients:
The Heart of Castile – Pure Olive Oil: The soul of this soap lies in its exceptionally high content of Olive Oil. Sourced with care, this liquid gold is renowned for its incredible mildness and its ability to cleanse gently yet effectively without stripping the skin of its natural, protective oils. It’s packed with nourishing properties that leave skin feeling soft, supple, and comfortable. For centuries, it has been the trusted choice for the most sensitive complexions.
A Touch of Creaminess – Castor Oil: While honouring tradition, we’ve introduced a gentle enhancement. A small percentage of Castor Oil is blended to create a richer, creamier, and more stable lather than you’d find in a 100% olive oil bar. This thoughtful addition elevates the sensory experience, making your cleanse more luxurious while maintaining the soap’s inherent gentleness. Castor oil also brings its own humectant properties, helping to draw moisture to the skin.
Nature’s Golden Soother – Honey: A touch of pure Honey is lovingly incorporated for its natural humectant qualities, helping your skin retain moisture. Honey is also celebrated for its soothing and skin-softening properties, adding an extra layer of gentle care to this already mild bar.
The Unseen Enhancer – Citric Acid: To ensure the best possible experience, especially if you have hard water, we add a small amount of natural Citric Acid. This helps to prevent soap scum, resulting in a cleaner rinse for your skin and a brighter, more refreshed feeling.
The Gift of Time – Patiently Cured for 6-12 Months: True excellence in Castile soap cannot be rushed. Each bar of our Heritage Castile Soap undergoes a very long curing process, resting for six months to a full year. This extended period allows the soap to mellow, harden, and reach its peak mildness, resulting in an incredibly gentle, long-lasting, and conditioning bar. It’s a testament to our commitment to quality and your skin’s comfort.
What Your Skin Will Experience:
The Gentlest Cleanse Imaginable: So mild, it’s suitable for even the most reactive, sensitive, or compromised skin, including babies. It purifies without stripping, leaving you refreshed and irritation-free.
Deeply Conditioned Comfort: Skin feels soft, hydrated, and calm, never tight or stripped, restoring natural balance.
A Subtly Creamy Lather: Our touch of Castor Oil provides a more satisfying, luxurious lather than traditional 100% olive oil soaps.
Naturally Unscented Purity: Free from all fragrances and essential oils, making it ideal for those sensitive to scents. The natural, clean aroma is purely that of its simple ingredients.
Reduced Irritation & Redness: The hypoallergenic nature of olive oil helps to soothe and calm troubled skin, promoting a more even complexion.
A Connection to Timeless Tradition: Feel the care and history in every bar, a pure comfort from Spanish roots.
Perfect For You If:
You have extremely sensitive, reactive, delicate, or allergy-prone skin.
You are looking for the mildest possible, gentle soap for yourself, your children, or your baby.
You suffer from conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis and need an ultra-gentle option.

Heritage Castile Soap: Science & Ingredients
At Ossie Naturals, we believe in transparency and the intelligent application of nature's wisdom. This section provides a comprehensive look at the carefully selected ingredients that make our Heritage Castile Soap so effective for pure comfort and lasting skin health.
Key Ingredients & Their Gentle Power:
Our Heritage Castile Soap is a carefully selected blend of nature's most soothing and skin-loving ingredients, crafted for unparalleled mildness:
✓ Olive Oil (Olea Europaea Fruit Oil): The heart and soul of our Castile soap. Exceptionally high in pure Olive Oil, renowned for its supreme mildness, conditioning properties, and suitability for the most sensitive skin. It cleanses gently without stripping natural moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable.
✓ Castor Oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil): Thoughtfully added to enhance the traditional Castile experience. It helps create a richer, creamier, and more stable lather than a 100% olive oil bar, while also contributing its humectant properties to help skin retain moisture.
✓ Honey (Mel): A natural humectant and soothing agent. Honey helps to draw moisture to the skin and provides gentle, calming benefits, making it ideal for delicate complexions.
✓ Citric Acid: A natural acid derived from citrus fruits. We add a small amount to help prevent soap scum, especially in hard water, ensuring a cleaner rinse and a brighter skin feel.
✓ Aqua (Water), Sodium Hydroxide: Essential components in the traditional saponification process that transform these beautiful oils into a solid, gentle bar of soap. No Sodium Hydroxide remains in the final, cured bar.

How to Use & Skin Type
How to Use & Skin Type: Your Ritual for Ultra-Gentle Cleansing
How to Enjoy Your Heritage Castile Soap:
Our Heritage Castile Soap is crafted for the purest, gentlest cleanse. Its unique, long-cured nature means a slightly different, yet profoundly comforting, lathering experience.
✓ Lather Gently: Wet the bar and work up a soft, creamy lather between your hands. True Castile soap, even with our touch of castor oil, offers a more lotion-like, conditioning lather rather than big, airy bubbles. Embrace its subtle, luxurious feel.
✓ Cleanse with Care: Massage the gentle lather over your face, body, or baby’s skin. Its supreme mildness makes it suitable for all-over use, providing a moment of pure comfort.
✓ Rinse Well: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, ensuring all lather is removed, leaving your skin feeling clean and refreshed.
✓ Pat Dry: Gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Follow with a simple, natural moisturiser if desired, especially in very dry climates or for very dry skin.
✓ Extend its Life: To help your long-cured, handcrafted soap last even longer, allow it to dry out completely between uses on a well-draining soap dish, away from direct streams of water.
Skin Type Focus:
This Heritage Castile Soap is lovingly formulated and especially beneficial for:
✓ All Skin Types, especially the Most Sensitive: Including baby skin, children, and elderly skin, offering unparalleled gentleness.
✓ Extremely Sensitive, Reactive, or Allergy-Prone Skin: Provides a pure, minimalist cleanse that respects delicate complexions.
✓ Dry, Very Dry, or Dehydrated Skin: Cleanses without stripping, leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated, and comfortable.
✓ Skin affected by Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, or Rosacea: Serves as an ultra-gentle cleansing option to soothe associated dryness and discomfort.
✓ Anyone seeking the purest, mildest, unscented, and most traditional soap available, valuing simplicity and profound care.
Preservation & Natural Character
Gentle Castile Soap: Preservation & Natural Character
At Ossie Naturals, our commitment to natural purity extends to how our products are preserved and how their inherent natural character contributes to their unique quality. This is especially true for our handcrafted soaps.
Caring for Your Natural Soap's Integrity:
To ensure your handcrafted soap lasts as long as possible and maintains its integrity:
✓ Storage Before Use: Store your soap in its original breathable cardboard box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity until you're ready to use it. This allows the soap to continue its gentle curing process, enhancing its quality and longevity.
✓ During Use: Once in use, place your soap on a well-draining soap dish. This prevents it from sitting in water, which can soften the bar and shorten its lifespan. Allowing it to dry thoroughly between uses is key.
The Beauty of Natural Character: A Synergy of Ancestral Wisdom & Skin Science
At Ossie Naturals, our products are a testament to the power of 100% natural origin ingredients, intelligently combined to work in deep harmony with your skin. We combine nature's finest ingredients with scientifically understood botanical lipids, plus our signature herbal infusions and pure essential oils. This is skincare that respects your skin's innate intelligence.
At our artisanal cosmetic and soap-making workshop, we take immense pride in crafting products that are as nourishing as they are cleansing, using only the finest natural ingredients. This dedication means that variations in our products' colour, aroma, and texture are not just possible, but are a celebrated aspect of our craft. These variations are a testament to the authenticity of our methods and the unique properties of the botanical ingredients we employ.
Each batch is a reflection of the natural world, influenced by the season of harvest and the specific conditions under which our ingredients are grown and processed. For example, essential oils derived from plants and flowers may exhibit variations in their aromatic intensity, depending on the time of year they were harvested and the extraction process used. Such changes are inherent to true artisanal production and highlight the individuality of each product we create.
These natural variations are not imperfections but rather the hallmarks of genuine craftsmanship. They add to the unique beauty and individuality of each batch, ensuring that while the core qualities and benefits of our products remain consistent, each offers a distinct and personal experience. This not only enhances your connection with nature but also makes each use a uniquely charming and effective encounter with our products.
We believe that these subtle differences enrich your experience, providing a personal touch that mass-produced products simply cannot replicate. Each product becomes a unique piece of art, carrying the essence of the natural world into your daily routine.
Choosing Ossie Naturals means choosing a product where every detail, right down to its wrap, is considered with your well-being and the integrity of nature in mind.
Wrapped for Purity & Breathability
Our Thoughtful Packaging: Purely Wrapped for Purity & Breathability
At Ossie Naturals, our commitment to purity extends to how we present our handcrafted soaps. You'll find your Gentle Calendula Soap nestled in a simple, breathable cardboard box, and here’s why this choice is so important to us:
✓ Allowing Your Soap to Breathe: Our traditional cold process soaps, like fine wine, benefit from air circulation. A breathable cardboard box allows the soap to continue its natural curing process, ensuring a harder, longer-lasting, and milder bar over time.
✓ Minimising Plastic Contact: We choose to avoid plastic shrink-wrapping for our soaps. While some packaging aims to seal in scent or protect from humidity, we prioritise the purity of the bar itself. Our concern is to limit your soap's contact with plastics, thereby reducing any potential for the transfer of unwanted residues or microparticles that can sometimes be associated with heated or direct plastic contact.
✓ A Kinder Process, A Purer Product: By avoiding heat-shrinking plastic wraps, we also sidestep processes that can create fumes or require direct heat application to the product. We believe this contributes to a cleaner making environment and ultimately, a purer bar of soap for your skin.
✓ Simplicity & Eco-Conscious Values: A cardboard box is a straightforward, recyclable, and often biodegradable choice that aligns with our respect for the environment. It’s honest packaging for an honest product.
✓ Focus on What Matters: We believe the true value lies in the meticulously crafted soap within. Our simple packaging reflects this, ensuring that what you're investing in is the quality and gentle effectiveness of the Calendula Soap itself.
Choosing Ossie Naturals means choosing a product where every detail, right down to its wrap, is considered with your well-being and the integrity of nature in mind.
