With a few tweaks to your liking, this can be a body wash, shampoo, or beard wash tailored to your needs. I’ve also used this basic recipe as a starting point for a ph-balanced body wash.
Basic recipe
- 1 part water
- 1 part liquid castile soap
- essential oils to your preference
The goal for this recipe is to have approximately half castile soap and half “other stuff”. You can get creative with the other stuff.
Customization Notes
- Substitute up to half of the water/rose water with organic aloe
- Substitute no more than a quarter of the water/rose water with nourishing blend. You may need to adjust this up or down to get the right amount of suds. Less oil = more suds
I usually make this in a small quantity (like airplane carry on size) because I’m always changing up the formula. I alternate between making one that’s a more skin-moisturizing formula (with added nourishing blend) and one that I can also use as a shampoo.
