This DIY Homemade Liquid Hand Soap recipe is so easy and inexpensive to make…and it smells GREAT!
DIY Homemade Liquid Hand Soap
In my ongoing quest to rid my home and life of all unnecessary chemicals and learn to make my own products instead, I found this recipe, which uses essential oils instead of junky chemicals.
Items Needed:
- 3/4 cup Castile Soap
- 3/4 cup water (distilled or boiled if you don’t plan to use the soap within a few weeks)
- 1 Tbsp. Vitamin E oil
- 1 Tbsp. nourishing oil such as: sweet almond or jojoba oil
- 15 drops tea tree essential oil
- 5-10 drops lavender essential oil
How to Make Homemade Liquid Hand Soap
Step 1: In a mason jar, add the water first (to prevent bubbles) then the liquid castile soap, followed by the oils.
Step 2: Top your mason jar with a rust proof soap pump or you can get the whole kit here.
Step 3: Shake all of the ingredients together.
Step 4: Shake the soap dispenser before using, and then squirt a small amount on your hands as needed, rinsing with water.
This homemade hand soap is very moisturizing and smells great!
This makes a great DIY gift idea and these adorable labels would be a perfect final touch.
