DIY Natural Shower/Body/Hand Cleaners

Hand Sanitizer

1 part Witch Hazel

1 part Hydrogen Peroxide

1 part Aloe Juice

20 drops Rosemary oil

20 drops Peppermint oil

5 drops Lavender oil

5 drops Tea Trea oil

Place all in spray bottles and shake; this recipe filled up 2 10 oz spray bottles that I had.

Foaming Hand Soap

Foaming Hand Soap Pump

Castile Soap (see recipe here)

Water

Essential Oils

Fill your foaming pump container 1/3 of the way full with castile soap, fill up the rest with distilled water, add a couple drops of oil, shake and it’s ready!

Body Wash 

I used my recipe for my castile soap - see post HERE but used Zum Bar's Frankincense and Myrrh bar soap with 4 cups of water (link to product). I need to water it down more, but the concept of grating the bar soap and soaking it in water absolutely worked for goat's milk soap (and I imagine with any bar soap) if you want to extend the use by making it into liquid form (or even watering it down more to use in a foaming soap container)

Shaving Cream

I use my lotion base as a shaving cream too (see face recipes here. Here's my recipe (but it's basically just like the makeup remover and face/hand lotion).

2 oz. Coconut Oil

4 oz. Shea Butter
1 1/2 T Grapeseed oil
1 T. Olive Oil
5 drops Tea Tree Oil

Whip together, put into squeeze bottle and use as shaving cream – your hair follicles will thank you.

Lotion

Again, this recipe is listed in my facial care section and I use this basic recipe for makeup remover, face soap, hand soap and shaving cream; you could even use it as a hair mask (leave it on for 10-15 minutes and rinse)

4 oz. Coconut Oil

8 oz. Shea Butter
1 1/2 T Grapeseed oil
1 T. Olive Oil
Optional 1/4 t. Local Honey

Optional 10-20 Drops Essential Oil (lavender, tea tree, lemongrass, grapefruit, ylang-ylang)

You may need to melt the coconut oil if you keep your home cooler. Whip together all ingredients with mixer or whisk and put into pop top squeeze bottle (to keep sterile).
