Stop 🛑 buying hand soap!

Описание: I made $120 worth of natural and gentle foaming hand soap for 59 cents today. NO JOKE! I’ve actually been making our own hand soap for over a year now, but I have never sat down to figure out how much money it actually saves us.

I did today. And I was shocked.

A good quality, no crazy fragrances, gentle cleaning foaming hand soap was $6 for 8 ounces at Walmart yesterday. Yikes!

My recipe makes 5 quarts for $0.59. That’s 20 of those 8 ounce bottles!! $120 saved with five minutes of work.

Here’s how you make it:

Buy a bar of Kirks Castile soap. It cost $4.77 for a four pack at Walmart. Cut one bar in half, and melt just that 1/2 bar in 1 quart of water on your stove top. Low and slow. Don’t boil it. Fill up 5 quart mason jars 80% with water. Top off with the soap mixture.

You could add a few drops of essential oil for scent. We have some kiddos with super sensitive skin, so we prefer unscented soap. That’s actually one of the reasons I started making my own! It wasn’t the cost savings at the time, it was trying to protect sensitive skin.

You will need the special foam pump dispenser, I have these. It cost $10 for a two pack and they’ve lasted me over a year. And they get a lot of abuse from the kids! https://amzn.to/3VMYwu2

You can also make this with liquid Castile soap if you don’t want to have to do all the shredding. I have the step-by-step instructions in this video here:    • DIY Foaming Hand Soap | Two Simple Recipes...
