What You’ll Need:

To make this body wash, gather the following tools and ingredients:

Tools:

  • Body wash bottle
  • Jug or bowl
  • Stirring utensil

Ingredients (for a 500ml bottle):

  • 250ml Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Liquid Soap (or any natural liquid soap)
  • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Warm water
  • Essential oils of your choice (see blend suggestions below)

How to Make It

Step 1: Mix the base
Start by pouring the Castile soap and aloe vera into your jug or bowl. Stir gently to combine.

Step 2: Dissolve the salt
In a separate small bowl or jar, mix about 2 tablespoons of warm water with the salt. Stir until the salt is fully dissolved.

Step 3: Combine and thicken
Slowly pour the warm salty water into your soap mixture while stirring continuously. This step helps to naturally thicken your body wash. Don’t worry if it doesn’t thicken right away—it may do so as it rests.

Step 4: Add your essential oils
Now it’s time to add your scent! Use about 40 drops of your favorite essential oil blend. You’ll find some great combinations below.

Step 5: Bottle it up
Carefully pour your body wash into the empty bottle. Top it off with room temperature water, leaving a little space at the top so you can shake it before each use.

And that’s it! You’ve just made your own natural, eco-friendly body wash. Use it just like any regular body wash and feel good knowing it’s better for your skin and the planet.

Essential Oil Blends:

Feel free to mix and match based on what you love. Just remember—some essential oils can cause reactions, so always check for allergies and do a patch test first.
