A A A Our 100% vegan, certified cruelty-free Liquid Castile Soaps are gentle and moisturizing, thanks to the natural healing powers of our proprietary blend of olive, hemp and coconut oil. This combination is particularly effective at keeping our Castile Soaps from stripping the skin of much needed moisture. A natural humectant, olive oil actually attracts moisture to the skin, increasing hydration. It then creates a breathable layer of protection to help maintain that healthy moisture balance. Dr. Woods Castile Soaps are available plain or with added fair-trade raw shea butter to condition and moisturize your skin. A A A Dr. Woods is a pioneer in offering this unique, highly effective, yet gentle natural cleanser to the American market. Raw black soap, an amazing, ancient vegetable soap, is made from tropical plantain skins, a renewable, sustainable natural resource. It is still produced in the traditional way - in small batches made by local, women-owned family co-ops in villages throughout Africa.
