At present I’m using Dr. Bronners Baby Mild Castile soap as our family’s body wash base.
Given I use it as the base for almost ALL my products, I buy it in bulk and therefore have it on hand I’ve ordered online in the cupboard.
What you may notice when switching from a chemical body wash to a non- toxic wash is generally, you won’t experience the lathering soapy feel- (as the chemicals make this happen normally).
Out of habit and seeking for that soapy feel, my husband tends to go through our body wash quickly due to its current consistency being more liquid.
Therefore, to make it last a little longer, I normally half the Litre bottle and create: The Bees Family Body Wash, using the recipe below.
INGREDIENTS
- Dispenser bottle- ideally reusable one or recycled one 🙂
- 1/2 bottle of Castile soap
- 8 Table 🥄 vegetable glycerin
- 6 Table 🥄 of fractionated coconut oil
- 15 drops of your favourite pure essential oil that is safe for topical use
METHOD
Once the Litre bottle has been halved into two, I then add the above ingredients to both bottles.
May you take time to cleanse your body with nourishing non toxic products that set you up for the amazing day your deserve,
With love, Jodie
