I always keep a bottle of Castile soap around the house because it has so many different uses. I just made a batch of what is now my favorite hand soap.
It takes about 1 minute to make, and costs about $1.
- 2 oz Dr Bronner’s Peppermint Castile Soap

- 2 oz Grapeseed Oil
(or Olive oil, or whatever you have handy)
- 2 oz Filtered Water
Combine all ingredients in a 6 oz pump container ( I use an old container of face wash) and gently mix by turning the container upside down a few times. You will want to do this occasionally, as over time, the ingredients will separate. This Hand Soap is very soft, sudsy, and effective. It smells great and castile soap comes in many different scents. You may also get creative and add different essential oils for say, peppermint/lavender scent.
This recipe proved to me that all-natural, biodegradable, earth and people friendly body care does NOT have to be expensive or difficult to make. Enjoy!
