Well hey friends, today I'm going to show you how to make our own liquid hand soap
It's an all natural hand soap and we've been using it now for about 6 months and I'm telling
you it works so great and I don't ever plan on buying hand soap again
So first we're going to need some Dr. Bonner's Pure Castile Soap
Dr. Bonner's soap has been around since 1928 and guys this stuff is so awesome
So it is made with certified organic ingredients, lots of different oils and water, there are
no detergents, there are no foaming agents, it's certified vegan, it's not tested on animals
it's non-venal, all the kids stuff and this stuff is just pure awesome
It comes in a variety of scents as well as unscented. I'm loving peppermint right now
The key to this soap is that you must dilute it, so one bottle can last you quite a while
Next you're going to need some distilled water. This next ingredient is totally optional, you don't need it at all, but I like to have
a little bit of thickness to my soap so I like to add a sprinkling of glucomanin powder
This is actually a superfood, it's a single conduct fruit, it's a really natural sort
of thickening agent for liquids, you can find it at your health food store and it just adds
a little bit of thickness to the soap to keep it from being so runny. We're also going to need something to mix in
I like to use this glass Pyrex cup because it has ounces as well as cup measurements
on it. So the ratio here is one ounce of liquid castile soap to one cup of distilled water
I tend to go a little bit over the cup line because I want to account for the one ounce
of soap that is in the bottom of the Pyrex cup. Then I take a whisk and I give it a little stir
Now again, this next step is completely optional, I just like to add a tiny little bit of glucomanin
powder to my soap to thicken it. You can use any kind of thickening agent that you like, I just happen to have this on hand
Just a teeny tiny bit will go a long way. Now with glucomanin powder you want to just sprinkle a little bit in and then whisk it
together rather than just dumping the whole teaspoon into your soap. If you just dump the powder in, it's going to kind of just form a gelatinous ball rather
than just breaking itself easily throughout your soap. Now the other thing you want to remember is that this glucomanin powder takes a minute
or two to set up. So it might seem like a bit of a hurr, but you don't want to add more because you're
going to end up with a gelatinous, must-a-bottle-like soap. I'm speaking from experience here
You could also add some essential oils if you wanted at this point. And then you just incorporate the soap right into your soap bar
And that is guys, super simple, super easy. We love this soap and it's all we ever need anymore
I hope you enjoy, I'll see you next time. Bye
