Many of you may not know this, but I make my own shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and household cleanser. Well, not entirely, I use base materials, of course. And I scent with essential oils. In the end I end up with something all natural, non-toxic, kid safe, and as organic as possible.
When it comes to everything but the household cleaner, I get my base materials from North Texas Coop run by a good friend of mine. The base materials are dirt cheap and the products are very good. Plus, because we order in bulk we can reuse containers which is a nice save for the environment.
For my shampoo and body soap, I use a combination of Sandalwood, Tea Tree Oil, and Ylang Ylang. Smells wonderful. For handsoap, I use sweet orange, and ylang ylang. For shampoo and body soap for Celeste, I use Geranium and Lavender. For household cleanser, I use Lemongrass. You can, of course, use whatever you want.
At any rate, it’s wonderful, I save a lot of money, and it’s fun and easy to do.
I’m writing this here now because you might be interested in joining us. We’re just about to place an order. So, if you want in, speak up now. Otherwise you’ll have to wait 3 more months. This order is for Shampoo/Body Gel/Hand Soap and Conditioner only. $2 for 8oz and you have to bring your own containers.
Let me know. Quick! I’ll even share my essential oils with you, if you’re nice.
This interests me! I have pretty sensitive skin, though; the only store-bought soap I can use is Dove Sensitive Skin or stuff from Lush. Would this stuff work for me, do you think?
I'm not sure. It's mostly herbal, so probably. Id be happy to whip you up a
sample wwhen I get my next batch and you can see if you like it. I can also
provide an ingredient list.
