Castile Soap is one of my favourite refillable products I use in the home. It can come in the form of a bar of soap or in liquid form. Castile soap is named after the Castile region of Spain and has stood the test of time. The original soap was primarily made from olive oil, but today it is made from a variety of vegetable oils.

Find your nearest refill shop in your area. I have started to use refill shops. It will be a gradual thing because like you my household still has various existing toiletries and cleaning products to use up. No more will I be buying single use plastic toiletries and cleaning products. I have started with hand wash in a pump plastic 1000ml container. Yes, the container is plastic, but it will last for years as apposed to single use and using glass bottles in a bathroom is a major hazard. The other products I have purchased is shampoo and conditioner, also in a 1000ml plastic pump action bottle.
