Where can I purchase such a container. I could send you a picture to make it more clear if you could give me an email address. Mine is upcycled from an old bottle of foaming hand soap. Hope this helps! Do you have a recipe for good DIY shampoo?

Sorry, Shelly. We use BeautyCounter shampoo for the whole family. I love that it is make with safer ingredients, rates well on the EWG scale and rinses clean.

I have a bar of castile soap and I was wondering if i could melt some of it to achieve the same result in any recipe in which you use liquid castile soap? I read an article saying that bar and liquid soap are very different for various reasons and hence cannot be used the same, but still? Soap is soap? Thank you! I do know that liquid Castile soap is less concentrated than solid Castille bars 1 cup of liquid Castile soap equals 3.

Let me know if you try and it works. Liquid and solid soaps are made with different bases alkalis : solid with sodium hydroxide, liquid with potassium hydroxide. Great Post! Not a good idea! Ems, the second ingredient is actually Saponified Organic Coconut Oil. When making soap the fat in this case coconut oil is combined with lye to produce a chemical reaction called saponification.

The end result is soap plus glycerin. You can read more about washing your face with Castille soap here. I meant to say foaming soap by using half baby shampoo and half water. It works well as a refull. Great idea! What is the life of this soap giving the fact that u are not using any preservative? I have read that people make enough for 2 days or a week. Use distilled water if you are concerned about contaminates. I had the same question but am curious why you prefer not to use anti-bacterial?

With small kids am wondering if an anti-bacterial is necessary…. Some bacteria is good for us, it helps kids develop healthy immune systems. Plus using antibacterial products allows resistant bacteria to develop. For these reasons I do not use antibacterial products, just standard cleaners such as soap and water.

I agree! Short version; Soap is and always has been formulated to kill unwanted bacteria and germs that need killing and only that need killing. Then we build up a resistance to those. My daughters step-mother is an elementary school teacher.

She had introduced my daughter to this vicious cycle. I had a heck of a time finding a cure for her when she had strep throat with an ear infection. You can add essential oils, however be aware that EOs are not water soluble so they can seperate and need to be shaken for each use. I prefer to use a scented castile soap to get scent. I love Essential Oils. May I add one table spoon of Organic Witch Hazel to mix the oil and water? Would it be okay for the skin?

If you are using essential oils I would only use a few drops and shake before using. I love EOs too, but they are not water soluble so they can separate.
