An all natural, very mild liquid soap for


everyday use in your


kitchen or bath.








Ingredients: (Makes 2 - 8 oz bottles)


All ingredients were measured.





2 cups of grated (cured) castile soap


1 tablespoon of palm oil


1 teaspoon vodka


1/2 tablespoon glycerin (optional)


1/2 teaspoon lemon essential oil (or any EO)


1/2 teaspoon grapefruit essential oil (or any EO)


1/2 teaspoon eucalyptus essential oil (or any EO)


2 1/2-3 cups of spring or distilled water


2 pump or foaming bottles





Over low heat and in a double-boiler pan, add grated


soap, palm oil, glycerin and water. Simmer until all the


soap has melted and is liquefied. Add vodka. Remove

essential oils, mix well. Let cool completely before

melted from going into the funnel. Label and use.
