DIY Body Wash with Clean Ingredients

by Leave a Comment

I made a decision nearly a decade ago to limit the chemicals that I use. I am mindful of food ingredients and product listings from cleaning supplies to toiletries. As a result, I have learned to make my own concoctions that prove to be cost effective too! Here’s how I make my body wash. The scent is customizable to your preference; I change up the essential oil blends often!

Ingredients:

8 oz Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap
20 drops Vitamin E Oil
1 tablespoon Sweet Almond Oil
1 teaspoon Jojoba Oil
4 tso Vegetable Glycerine
40 drops Bergamot essential oil*
40 drops Orange essential oil*

*I purchase my essential oils from Young Living (if you copy and paste this URL https://www.youngliving.com/us/en/referral/30124903 and use code SHAREYL you will receive 10% off your first order) or Plant Therapy (this link should get you 15% off your first order).

Mix together and store in a glass pump bottle. Citrus oils are strong and can break down plastic.

DIY Recipe

If you’re trying to reduce chemicals in your home;
If you use unscented laundry detergent and want a clean smell;
If you don’t want to pay the $$$ for an overpriced brand name product;

…have I got great news for you!

This simple, three-ingredient recipe will give you 8 loads of laundry scent booster. It can easily be doubled (or more) to make bulk batches.

Recipe:
1.5 cups of unscented Epsom salt
0.5 cups of baking soda
30 drops of essential oil (I use 20 drops of lemon and 10 drops of lemongrass for a fresh, clean blend.)

Mix thoroughly and store in an air-tight container. I usually double the recipe when I make it.

Directions:
Use 0.25 cups in the washing machine drum per load.
