DIY Homemade Liquid Hand Soap Recipe

146 Shares

Are you sick of buying store bought hand soap that is filled with a bunch of chemicals? Now you can make your own with this all natural liquid hand soap recipe.

Shelf Life: 1 year

Benefits: Castile soap can be used to make tons of natural products, and hand soap is one of the most common recipes it’s used in.

Combining it with almond oil and vegetable glycerin will help to cleanse your skin, without over drying it. Eucalyptus is a natural germicide and tea tree is a natural antiseptic.

Tips and Tricks: Use a foaming pump for a less runny solution.

Variations: We like the smell of lavender in this hand wash, but it can be left out or replaced with another essential oil. You can also replace the almond oil with grapeseed oil or avocado oil.

Level of Difficulty: Easy

Watch the video below for a step-by-step tutorial for making this natural hand soap.
