Finally, Homemade Liquid Hand Soap!

In my quest for making all my own products for the house the one thing that has been a thorn in my side is liquid hand soap. It has been so hard to get it right.

I have tried a few different ways and methods that have not worked out as well as I would have liked.

I have been like a mad scientist trying to get this right.  I had to make it work! I was now on a mission.

Well, Finally it did!  I made liquid hand soap!  I made it work and I am sooo proud.  Not only did it take 2 simple non-toxic ingredients, but it is amazing!!

I took a bar of Dr. Bronner's Mild Unscented Baby Soap (I use this for EVERYTHING!), grated it with a cheese grater.  Put water, one cup of water for every ounce of grated soap, into a pot to get it hot.  Take it off the burner and pour in the grated soap.  Stir until the soap is dissolved.  Let it sit and cool for at least over night.  Stir occasionally.

Here is the part that is totally up to how your's cools.  If it is too thick and gel like, add more water.   No need to reheat just pour some water in and see if it sets again at the right consistency.  Once it is right for you put it into your soap dispensers and save the leftover,  if there is some, in a jar.

That is really it!

My batch that I perfected is amazing, bubbly and I LOVE knowing that it only took two ingredients that are both non-toxic to make this.  Not even counting how cheap it is to make  ($2.99 a bar at my grocery) compared to buying my normal non-toxic liquid hand soap!







Give this one a shot for sure!
