Nothing evokes more wonderful memories of Spain than the classic scents of their famous soaps. Made of pure natural ingredients, without detergents or fillers, Spanish health and beauty products have always been highly valued. Beginning in the 17th Century they were coveted by European aristocracy. Scarce and expensive, Castile soap set the standard for all luxury soaps from that time forward. To this day, "pure Castile" is the term that designates the finest soap products.
