Homemade Eco-friendly Liquid Hand Soap

Make your own liquid hand soap it's easy, doesn't contain any yucky sodium laureth sulfate and it smells great!

Ingredients:

1 cup distilled or filtered water
3 tablespoon liquid castile soap (I used Dr. Bronner's unscented castile)
1 teaspoon vegetable glycerin
Drops of lemon or orange essential oils-or your choice
Tea tree oil is antibacterial and antifungal, add some drops of that too

Combine all ingredients, I used a blender stick. Funnel into a reused pump bottle. It cost a lot less than buying organic hand soap. I tried Kiss my Face , then realized it has parabens (methyl-, propyl-, butyl-, ethyl-, isobutyl-).

Edit **
You can also you grated castile bar soap, just melt it in the heated water.

On Friday, June 12, “Food, Inc.” the new documentary exposé of the safety hazards and corporate control of our current food system will open in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, followed by the nationwide release on June 19th. The Center for Food Safety (CFS) provided the filmmakers with both expertise and critical information, and CFS founder and Executive Director Andrew Kimbrell urged all concerned with the food they eat to see the film. “Food, Inc.” is must-see viewing for everyone who eats,” said the Center’s Kimbrell. “I urge American consumers to make it a point to see this important and revealing film, which will, I hope, help to permanently change the way we all eat.”
