@loolay no, it means, it was made from olive oil from a particular region in spain.

It ‘should’ mean that, and did originally mean that—a soap made from olive oil. Today the term is applied more broadly to soaps made from any vegetable oils. I’ve noticed that some sellers seem to think it means soft soap (potassium soap) (it doesn’t). The upshot is that the descriptor ‘Castile soap’ doesn’t reliably mean anything much, and if you want to know about some particular soap you need to look for more specific information.

I have had success looking in my local supermarket! Their cheap own brand bar soap has the following ingredients:

Sodium palmate, sodium palm kernelate, aqua, glycerin, sodium chloride, tetrasodium edta, tetrasodium etidronate

I would prefer to not have the EDTA in there but i understand these last two chemicals are tow deal with hard water and to preserve the soap, they act as chelators which bind to metals.

@loolay you can buy Dr Bronners in the UK on Amazon, ebay and loads of health foods shops stock it if you prefer in person.

In France I used "Le Chat" glycerin soap flakes . https://fr.zity.biz/gallery/image/74269

Glycerine in soap will make it more difficult to hold and may make whole experience more difficult.
