Only Natural Ingredients indigent to the Philippines make it to a bottle of Manila Castile Soap. Combining the Cleaning power of Virgin Coconut Oil Soap, the Moisturizing properties of Rice Bran Oil Soap, and the Lather of Palm Oil Soap, the Manila Castile Soap Variant is a great addition to Casa de Lorenzo. Scented with locally-sourced Essential Oils from plants and flowers of the Philippines, every bottle is delightful to the senses when bathing.

Why I Started Casa de Lorenzo

Oftentimes, life puts in your path something that leads you which direction to go. When you let life take the reins, there's a lot of surprises along the way. This is how I was led to making Castile Soaps.

Casa de Lorenzo Soaps were born out of a need for something better. Years ago, my eldest daugther had sensitive skin. She'd have dermal irritation frequently, and often times, she'd have chicken skin. So we did some troubleshooting, trying different skin products. Eventually we realized that she was reacting to some ingredients of the soaps that we use, so we tried to find alternatives.

Soften Your Hands with Avocado

From SevenDesktop.com

Its May already, and here in the Philippines, the season of Avocado is about to reach its peak. Such a great time to take advantage of the things this seasonal fruit brings.

Did you know that Avocado in general is a great source of ingredients for beauty products? It is rich in essential nutrients and amino acids that are extremely beneficial to skin. Here's one of the ways on how your skin can benefit from Avocado aside from just eating it.

Using Citrus Oils on Natural Soaps

Citrus Oils are known to be phototoxic, especially Bergamot and Lime Essential Oils. Phototoxic means when the essential oil is placed on the skin and exposed to the sun, a chemical reaction is triggered and can cause severe burns. Since Citrus Oils are believed to be phototoxic, people avoid using them on skin products.

Benefits of Castile Soap

All over the world, people know about Castile Soap. In Europe, it has been used for centuries by almost everyone, from peasants to royalty. Now, it has been made more available to everyone and with the globalization phenomenon plus the wealth of information in cyberspace, Castile Soap has reached every country in the planet.

What makes Castile Soap so special? Well, true Castile Soaps are made from Olive Oil, but soaps made from natural oils are considered Castile Soaps nowadays. Any soap made with Olive Oil is an amazing soap. It is highly moisturizing because of a high level of emollients and unsaponifiable materials that help seal moisture in skin, thus making it very soft. Some people even claim that you won't need to use lotion after bathing.

Today we live in a world where aggressive bacteria and viruses are abound. Everywhere we go, every object we touch, every person we interact with increases the risk of contracting sickness. So scientists came up with antibiotics and antibacterial stuff that aggressively eliminate the threats to us and the lives of our loved ones. By killing these bacteria and viruses, we are safe.

Well, its not completely true. Many people are beginning to think that it is otherwise.
