DIY Citrus Bliss Body Wash
Realized I ran out of body wash so made some of my own last night! Simple with a just a few natural ingredients. Most body washes and hair care products contain many chemicals. Two I will mention are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate. These are known skin and eye irritants and enhance allergic responses to other toxins and allergens. Can even cause organ toxicity. They are used as lathering agents and detergents, and are present in hundreds of commercial shampoos, body washes, and bubble baths, as well as skin creams and some brands of toothpaste.
Try making your own!
DIY Body Wash
1/2 Cup Castile Soap (I used Dr. Bronner's)
4 Tablespoons Vegetable Glycerin
3 Tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil
10 Drops of any essential Oil (I used DoTerra Citrus Bliss)
(I added a teaspoon each of Vitamin E Oil and Jojoba Oil for more moisturizing benefits)
Mix all ingredients together and pour into a BPA-free plastic or glass container.
