Since making my very first batch of castile soap, I haven't bought hand-wash, body-wash, shampoo or soap. In my children's shower, I havethe castile soap in a big pump pack in the shower.....and they use it on their hair AND bodies!! What a cost saving!! And no more allergy skin rashes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup firmly packed grated Castile soap (about two 4 oz. bars)
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin
Before you begin, grate the castile soap with a cheese grater. Try to shred it as fine as possible since it will take less time to melt the soap down if the pieces are small.
Mix the grated castile soap with the water in a large pot. Set over low heat, stirring occasionally until the castile soap has dissolved. Add glycerin. Keep your eye on it! Once dissolved, transfer to a jar and cover tightly. This makes a thick liquid soap. For a thinner liquid soap, add more water until desired consistency is reached.
Extra tips:
- Instead of tossing out those leftover little bars of useless soap, save them up, and toss them into the food blender, when making up your next batch of liquid soap.
- I use natural, oatmeal soap, to make up a batch for my baby. It's great on her sensitive skin, and so much cheaper than buying the specialised baby products.
