Liquid black soap Castalia

Castalia liquid black soap or potassium soap is manufactured by Jabones Beltrán. It is produced using the traditional method of the saponification of vegetable oils and potash in water. This multi-use product has been developed from our Castalia soap. which was previously authorized for use in ecological agriculture as an efficient and ecological form of phytosanitary protection against pests. Thanks to its potassium salt content it also functions as a fertilizer, and nourishes plants by correcting potassium deficiencies. Improved quality oils are now being used for its manufacture, whereby the product still conserved the same original properties, but is less prone to turbidity and is more easily dissolved in water at low temperatures.
