We’ve been using the following recipe for a few months now and I don’t think we will ever change. It’s so easy to make.
First, get yourself a good sized pump bottle. I recommend a pump bottle because the finished product is a little watery. We just repurposed an old baby wash bottle and removed the labels.
Fill it half way with Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Baby Mild Castile Soap. Fill the remaining with plain old water. Voila! You have body wash!
And, if you like a little fragrance in your soap, you can add 15-20 drops of your favorite essential oils. We chose a blend of Sweet Orange and Lemongrass.
Now, you may notice your skin feels a little tight at first, but I assure you that will go away after a week or so. Your skin just has to get used to not having all of the added chemicals found in commerical products.
Plus, this stuff lathers just as good as the store bought washes and I have found that if you shut the water off while lathering, you won’t need to use very much at all (and you’ll be saving water too!).
UPDATE: I just tried the Dr Bronner’s Almond Castile soap diluted and I LOVE the smell! Plus, no need to add Essential Oil (money saver!)
Have you tried pure Castile Soap in the bath before? What did you think?
