Handmade Castile Soap for Babies and You

My alarm roared at 5.30 AM , but I snoozed it and slept till 6.15 . Suddenly a rush of blood to my heart , “ I haven’t written a post for today , Oh My “ . Somehow I got up and rushed to the living room . Just after I opened my laptop, Lali got up. Now she wants to play with the keyboard , which I can’t entertain as my post is due for today . Ok now she is sitting next to me , with an apple in her hand and looking for a chance of pressing the keys in between. Today’s post is a review of a handmade castile soap for babies .

CONS

• As it is made out of pure oils , the soap tends to melt easily . So extra care in keeping the used soap like covering with a cloth or soap drainer to be ensured post usage
• Though initially Anshika was comfortable using this on face , after a few days , she started crying . I think it stings the eyes.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH HOME MADE CASTILE SOAP

I used it for Anshika and must say her skin is cleaned leaving behind a moisturised supple skin. I didn’t find any rashes / allergies on her skin . Once you smell the soap , you would get a feel of smelling olive oil and castor oil :). No added fragrance or colour which gets thumps up from me as a mom.

Post usage , I wrap it with a cloth cover to prevent if from melting . So I am quite happy with this soap 🙂
