Some years back, we offered a particular name-brand Castile Soap in our stores. And happily so. But when the price began to climb, and we could no longer offer it at a value to our customers, we made room on our shelves for new products. We’ve brought in some great stuff since then, but still, the customer requests rolled in: “We want Castile Soap,” you said. Well, folks, it’s your lucky day—please put your soon-to-be-squeaky-clean hands together for our Castile comeback: Trader Joe’s Multi-Purpose Peppermint Castille Soap! For those unfamiliar, Castile Soap has historically been referred to as “true soap.” The first versions were made in the Castile region of Spain from local olive oil, and by the turn of the century, “Castile” had come to refer to any vegetable oil-based soap, as opposed to the animal fat-based soaps of the era. Today, Trader Joe’s Multi-Purpose Peppermint Castile Soap is made with a gentle, nourishing blend of organic olive, coconut, hemp, and jojoba oils, plus organic peppermint oil to invigorate your senses. It’s a natural, low-lather soap, free from synthetic dyes, sulfates, parabens, and phthalates, and when we say it’s Multi-Purpose, we mean it. You can use it as a body wash, shampoo, household cleaner, laundry cleaner, and more. (We’ve got instructions for each use right on the bottle.)
