So kind of like Kirk's "Coco Castile" soap? This was an old P&G brand that was spun off in the 90's to an independent company. I use it for bathing and it lathers beautifully, rinses well and has no strong perfumes. Never tried it for clothes though... |

Has been used in USA and elsewhere to make soaps and other products going back to the 1920's (if not before). Congress in a protectionist fever at one point (IIRC 1930's or maybe 1920's) wanted to impose an excise tax on coconut oil as a way of protecting tallow producers. At that time coconut oil was imported mainly from the Philippines, but there were other sources as well.

I remember coconut oil shampoo, but that was a small operation with a relatively large amount of shampoo and little water. It might be good if you had a lot of liquid coconut soap and a Kelvinator with shampoo washing action during the magic minute. |

This morning I asked my friend to bring some bars for me, but after that I realized that maybe this soap bar can be available in those brazilian stores. |

This is a new one on me!! I've never heard of this type of soap. Learning something new here. Doesn't ALL use cocoanut in their soaps? Thought I read something about that. Oh well. Very interesting. And from Brazil too. Barry |

I remember when my family and I got a water softener from rain soft. In the soap package, wash day laundry soap was included in both the powder and liquid forms. It took only a tablespoon to an ounce to wash a load of clothes and had a very nice smell. |

You are very welcome. By the way, do you have soft or hard water? I highly recommend a rain soft water treatment system. |
