    If you read the post there are two separate recipes. One is for lotion bars and the other is for Castile soap which you are right, it is made with 100% olive oil! Cheers :)

    @Feral Turtle I went to the "soap" part of your blog. You've done a great job, however when you say Quote: "This is one time you can cheap out. Just use plain olive oil. You don't need to buy the expensive extra virgin olive oil. Virgin oil doesn't make good soap". End Quote. You are absolutely WRONG. If you are using anything other than EVOO (ORGANIC, preferably). Then the chances of your "Olive Oil" being degraded are HIGH, therefore misleading the general public into thinking they are getting a quality 100% Castille Soap product. Olive Oil is one of the most confusing and degraded oils, and all are not created equal. I'm NOT being rude, nor insensitive to you. I'm only trying to Educate, and Eradicate the "Misconceptions" regarding Pure Castille Soap.
