Yoken Pure Castile Liquid Soap 33.8 Oz Unscent add Organic Oil EWG Verified

This is hands down the best liquid soap for my eczema! No fragrance, no lathering agents, nothing that irritates my skin, or dries it out! Only pure good oils that help to moisturize skin, and it leathers nicely enough. Can be used for hand wash, shower wash, even hair! I love this stuff!

5 stars — Excellent packaging, versatile formula, and great lather I was impressed with this Castile soap before I even used it. The packaging was exceptionally thorough—the bottle arrived boxed with a foam cradle protecting the top, the entire bottle was shrink-wrapped, and there was an additional seal underneath the cap. It felt unusually well protected against leaking or tampering during shipping. I specifically chose the unscented version and really like the combination of oils in the formula, including olive, jojoba, castor, argan, and coconut oils. I also prefer having an unscented base because I can use it as-is or customize it myself when appropriate. The biggest surprise was the lather. I have used Dr. Bronner’s Castile soap, and in my experience this produces a noticeably richer, more satisfying lather. Another nice feature is that the bottle actually includes recipes and dilution instructions for different uses, including body and hand soap, facial cleanser, hand-washing dishes, all-purpose cleaning spray, and even pet shampoo. That’s genuinely useful with a concentrated multipurpose product rather than having to look up dilution ratios separately. Overall, I’m very pleased with the formulation, versatility, packaging, and performance.

Hope you enjoyed my title rhyme. It has been delightful getting to know Yoken Pure Castile Soap, especially considering the path I had to take to get here. Please bear with my Sunday Times human interest article length. Many moons ago (I have indigenous blood from two tribes, so do not harass me about cultural appropriation), I began my foaming-soap-making odyssey beginning with zero knowledge and, over the years, honed my craft so that I now make for my family and extended family four regular seasonal varieties and special one-offs. The journey has necessitated that I switch from my original brand to another, then another, and finally to this brand, all to seek better economics while maintaining or improving quality. As I made the four-stage journey, I transitioned from the decent brand I started with (Brand #1) to one (Brand #2) that was "cleaner" (in color and scent) while being more economical because it was favorably priced by the gallon. During the second stage, after computing costs, I began wondering whether I should consider productionizing and selling the soaps, if only to cover the costs of soap just for my family. But I could not find a way to make it pay unless I could rapidly hit thousands of units or more, which would also have required industrial manufacturing processes I don't have time to figure out. So, I plugged along merrily as the family foaming soap provider. Then COVID hit. Results -- by which I mean for foaming soap creation -- were delayed but consequential. Over time, the shipments of that Brand #2 soap became more bitter and rancid smelling but I stuck with the brand and vendor, reckoning that all would sort itself out. Before that happened, a price-gouging switcheroo manifested. On Amazon, I will sometimes look up my past order and click "Buy Again" to quickly buy another of the same product. This time it seemed unavailable so I clicked the product link and saw the product for near the same price, and it looked the same. Fortunately, just before completing the purchase I realized that the product was a 64-oz size (it just was made to look like the gallon size) yet the price was nearly the same. Per ounce, the price had nearly doubled! Clever ploy by Brand #2 to cover up their price gouging, eh? This led me after an arduous search to find Brand #3 which appeared to be a good combination of value and quality with the price point near where I used to buy Brand #2. I was not disappointed. The castile soap had very nice qualities, was fairly clean looking and smelling, took fragrant oils and colors reasonably well, held the mix well, rinsed well, many of the qualities one desires in the most important base for a foaming soap mix. I was ready to make this my permanent brand until... they raised the price 30% before I could even make my second purchase. At this point, as a regular guy with other responsibilities, I yielded to disgusted annoyance and abandoned that soap but had to make an unexpected emergency search for a replacement since my inventory levels were running low. Revisiting my previous scan for quality with value, I was about to throw up my hands and walk away from foaming soap alchemy when, quite by accident, I stumbled upon Yoken Pure Castile Soap. I had not seen it before and it was not in my prior scan, it just happened to show up on a related page. The pricing was perfect for my budget, reviews seemed in line; so I pounced! The outcome? Let me quote from my review update on the other product: "Thank you, [Brand #3]! I did enjoy your soap that one time but by up-pricing to force me out you enabled me to discover Yoken castile soap which costs 2/3 of yours but... has a feel just as good as yours; cleans as well as yours; is, like yours, not bitter or rancid; takes essential oils and colors actually better it seems; and is concentrated enough that I actually had to slightly dilute my recipes with the side effect that they will last longer than yours." So, there you have it. Yoken supplies a quality experience foaming soap makers can rely on, with a wide range of positive characteristics from mixability, to freshness, to transparency, to viscosity, to operational performance. AS LONG AS YOKEN IS SMART ENOUGH TO NOT JACK THEIR PRICES, they will likely have me as a permanent customer. Maybe that is the best endorsement, eh? (Note: I gain no benefit in any way, shape, manner, faction, or form consequent to sales / increases / decreases of any castile soap product. I'm just a regular guy ticked off at having to waste time finding yet another product.)

It’s a small bottle and I wanted the unscented kind. I’ve never used this brand but it’s gentle on the skin, smells fresh and is moisturizing and feels good on your skin. I love using natural stuff on my skin and this does seem to work.

I’ve been using this Castile soap primarily to make my own natural pesticide for my houseplants, and it’s works really well. I mix it with Castile soap, neem oil, water, and isopropyl alcohol and it helps everything combine evenly so the spray applies nicely to my plants. Since I have a pretty large plant collection, I go through Castile soap regularly which I love I just wish I came a little bigger. I also like that it’s so versatile. Even though I mainly bought it for my plants, it’s nice knowing it can also be used for hand soap, body wash, household cleaning, and other DIY projects. The peppermint scent is fresh, and because it’s concentrated, you add it to anything and it definitely cut the smell Of the neem oil. this is a good quality, multi-purpose Castile soap that has worked well for what I needed. If you’re looking for a natural soap to use in DIY plant care recipes or around the house, this is definitely one to consider!

I highly recommend switching your hand soap to this as it’s all natural without harmful chemicals! It’s thinner but lathers nicely though not as much as the chemical hand soaps. I add my essential fragrance oils to it for a nice finish. I love this brand as they use organic castor oil which pulls toxins out of the body which I appreciate. Your skin is left more moisturized than chemical soaps.

Best Castile soap ever!! I’ve tried a few other popular brands but overall this is the best. I have sensitive skin and gave this a try and it’s actually helped improve softness and doesn’t irritate the skin in the slightest! Very moisturizing. And It gets pretty soapy which I love. The instructions are perfect clear on the box, depending on your reason for use. Light smell but long lasting!

VERY nice soap!! Lathers well and has multi uses! Smells great! Rinses well.

I was looking for a cleaner soap with simple ingredients, and this has been a great find. It cleans effectively without leaving my skin feeling stripped or dry. The large bottle lasts a long time, and I like the versatility for everyday household use.
