DIY Body Wash
Do you have a favorite type of soap but you can only find it in the bar form? You have often wondered why they haven’t yet made it into a body wash? Well, look no further. Follow the simple steps below and you can turn your favorite bar soap into body wash. Best part is…it’s extremely cost effective and you truly get the biggest bang for your buck. On average, those who make this only spend about $1.50/ gallon. How can you beat that?
What you will need:
- 8 oz of bar soap (Any bar. Read the label to make sure your are using 8 oz. For some soaps, that’s one bar, for others it is 2 or 3)
- 2 Tablespoons of Glycerin (You can find this product by the bandaid section. It will not be by the soaps. It’s well worth the $3/bottle. A small amount goes a long way
- 1 gallon (or 16 cups) of water
- Stock Pot
- Container for soap (Milk jugs work great)
Directions:
1. Grate the bar of soap using a cheese grater. Don’t have a cheese grater, chunk the bar soap into tiny pieces.
2. Put it in the stock pot with the water and Glycerin
3. Heat over medium heat until the soap is completely dissolved. The smaller the chunks the faster it will go.
4. When the soap is completely dissolved it will look like a big pot of soapy water. Don’t worry, this is what is supposed to happen.
5. Let the mixture sit & cool for 10-12 hours. It will begin to coagulate together.
6. After the 10-12 hour period it will be a mucous like consistency.
7. Using a hand mixer, beat until you have reached your desired consistency. If it is to thick for your liking, then use water to slowly but gradually water it down.
8. Using a funnel, pour the mixture into your container and Voila! You have successfully made your own body wash.
