MAKE YOUR OWN HANDWASH

This is so easy to make and one of my most popular recipes. Do be warned, though, it is quite gluggy compared to the usual commercial hand washes. That’s because it doesn’t have chemical emulsifiers and creamers in it. You’ll get used

to it, I promise. The glycerine in this is a fantastic moisturiser too. 2 tbsp grated soap

250ml boiling water

2 tsp glycerine

2 tsp rosewater

10 drops rose geranium essential oil (or you could use lavender)

Add the grated soap to boiling water, stir, then let sit for about 10 minutes until it melts.

Stir in the glycerine, rosewater and essential oil. When the mixture is smooth, pour while still warm into an empty soap dispenser bottle.

* If it thickens and becomes hard to get through a dispenser, add some hot water and shake to thin out.
