Homemade Citrus Body Wash
A revitalizing DIY body wash just got seriously easy—thanks to all-natural castile soap and nourishing citrus essential oils.
Yield: 8 ounces
Cost: $8
Equipment
- Small bowl or measuring cup
- Pump bottle
Materials
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons castile soap
- 2 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil almond, olive, or grapeseed can be substituted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin optional
- 1 tablespoon jojoba oil
- 1 tablespoon Vitamin E oil
- 20–40 drops citrus essential oil(s) sweet orange, lemon, and/or grapefruit
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients in a bowl or measuring cup and stir well.
- Transfer to a glass jar with a pump. Shake well before each use.
Notes
- Citrus essential oils can cause skin to be more sensitive to the sun. Use caution (and extra sunscreen) if you'll be heading out into the sun.
- My recycled glass bottle with a pump top is from Rail 19, but this one is similar. Use caution with glass bottles in the bath and shower.
