Dear Jopo: Castilia? There used to be a home-made soap called "Castile soap".
Can't remember reason for name, but deadliest threat from mothers was:
"I'll wash your mouth out with Castile soap!" (for profanity, etc.)

Castile soap uses Olive oil for the fat in the soap.. an was first mmade in the Castile region of spain.

it is a very mild soft soap and often used washing babies.

but because it is so soft, it easily lathers, so it would be very 'soapy' in your mouth!

Your the doc. I would guess the correct term is dependent upon the proposed use. In either case sloppy ambiguity should be avoided

Oh, dear, jopo! Sloppiness of all sorts should be avoided where possible - especially when complaining of it in others.
