2. Flower Bomb

It only takes 1 tablespoon per load. Apple cider vinegar will even remove soap scum from your hair. You dont need to add water. I just pour it over my hair and rinse. Be careful not to get it in your eyes though it stings. A few of my favorites are Brambleberry. I encourage you to use a lye calculator super easy and make your own.

I do not recommend the mixes. I have found them to be very irritating and no better than over the counter otc soap. Sometimes you find amazing things in funky stores like the dollar store, discount food stores, just have to do a little "shopping" and research. I use just plain coconut oit as lotion and even to tame fly aways on my hair! It is the best body lotion I have ever used - and you can cook with it too! I get essential oils and shea butter at the health food store.

You can get glycerine soap and beeswax at HobbyLobby. You may also be able to get these at the health food store but I know they are less expensive at HobbyLobby. Where do you purchase the ingredrients for all of these? The oils, shea butter, glycerin soap, bees wax etc. I have no clue where to start looking for these items. I know the salt, baking soda, corn starch stuff like that but, I don't think I'd find the others in Safeway etc, Yeah I'm a guy but, I am interested in learning how to do it. Do you mix the baking soda with water??

And do you mix the vinegar with water?? Have any of you tried no poo? Not shampooing at all? I know it sounds gross but I have not shampooed my hair in three years and it is better than ever.

I have very thick, hard to manage hair and I used to use all types of products in it. My daughter told me about going "no poo" and I tried it. I rinse my hair with 1 T baking soda and then rinse with 1 T cider vinegar. My hair now needs no product and I have not spent money on products.

Also, it is healthier because your hair is not in a cycle of being stripped of natural oils from shampooing. My son in law no longer has dandruff since going no poo. I noticed a lot of people wanting Lye-free alternatives in the archived comments.

You can use Soapwort or Soapnuts to make liquid soaps. You don't get the foam that you do from sulfates, but you can use a foaming pump that is supposed to help a bit if you feel you can't live without the suds. This has been so helpful!! I'm giving up all my traditional beauty products to go all natural and all homemade in six months, and I just recently made my own lotion - http: I'm thinking it was my mistake, though Gonna give it another try!

It was from the -happy-homesteader section. I have been thinking about making our own soaps and this article really pushes for trying it. Does anyone know which place or places are best for purchasing the ingredients pertaining to quality and price? I recently have become addicted to making soap. I was able to use my local library for find a book detailing how to make soap in the crockpot. I have made a Castile soap olive oil, lye and water which turned out well, and a couple of batches of lard based lard, canola oil, lye and water soap.

All have been great to use, and give to friends and familes as gifts. The first one I had purchased years ago at Goodwill.

It lasted through the second batch of soap before I burned the motor out. The second melted the plastic casing in my hand as I was using it. A stick blender makes getting to trace much easier than hand stirring, which can take up to 2 hours. Etta, for your shampoo bar, you said to use 3 lbs cold, distilled water. Is this tap water 55 to 65F; well water 50 to 55F? Thanks so much, Bill. I hope I am not posting the same thing twice! I have been making soap for about 14 years now. We do not use expensive additives like cocoa butter, shea butter, sweet almond oil etc.

Our soap is made of pure Olive Pomace Oil, sometimes with beeswax and always fragranced with pure essential oils. If you use beeswax, it speeds up tracing time quite a bit, but the temperatures have to be adjusted. For g of Olive Oil, I use g Beeswax and add about ml of essential oils at trace.

I allow the block to cure for about a week or two before cutting into loaves and then bars. I then let them cure and dry so that they are about 2 months old when wrapping. Use a stick blender to bring the oils to trace. Otherwise you will stir till you are old and grey.

Have a look at http: Your magazine is excellent,and I enjoy it very much, but when I print any of your article the font is too small. I would to see if the font can be made a little bigger for printing. I just made goat milk lotion, and it was great until it soured! Sorry about the last post not being very clear. I'm asking about the shampoo recipe - do you make it like you would make cold process soap?

Etta Perry; Do you make this like you make cold process soap? I'm new to this so I'm sorry if this is a "newby" question. I learned to make soap about 10 years ago. Soon after I learned how to make beer. It's an easy process. Well worth the time. And, you know exactly what is in it. I made a shampoo bar several years ago and am looking for my recipe to make it again.

Recipes to Make Your Own Soap, Lotion and More

My only caution for soap making is working with the lye. It burns the skin and isn't so pleasant in the nose if you stick your head over the pot of lye water. It can take a while to cure. If you use it too soon, it will still have too much water in it and won't last long. Hey there all, When I was up visiting a dear friend who was ill in my old stomping grounds of B'ham, Washington, I took beginning and intermediate soap making classes! It was fun, I learned a lot, and found that home made soap is the feline's vocalization!

I'd subscribe again in a heart beat! If you have a penchant for quality coffee information go to: I took two Soap Making classes while visiting my old stomping grounds in B'ham, Washington. Dearly loved both classes and I look forward to making my first batch of Black Bear and Grizzly Bear soaps.

This is the recipe that I have used for shampoo for 2 years. I have not bought shampoo or conditioner in 2 years. I have several people that buy this bar from me. The final product, that soap, contains no lye and is safe to use. Hi Linda, According to Berthold-Bond's book, the deodorant can be stored indefinitely in a glass jar with a screw top - no need to refrigerate it.

As for the essential oil, use a few drops per ounce of baking soda. Is there another way to make soap????????? How many drops of oil do I add to the deodorant recipe? And how long will the recipe last. Should I store it in the fridge once its in a paste form. Or, maybe I could store the dry ingredients and add the oil before applying. You could use a new clean spoon every time and just dab it on. How about making your own natural deodorant with herbs and essential oils that reduce odor and sweating?

This recipe is from my new book Naked: One of the most basic recipes in the book, these bars are a simple blend of sweet almond oil, cocoa butter and essential oil. You can add herbs or natural colors as well, or make them unscented by leaving out the essential oils the cocoa butter itself smells like chocolate.

Synthetic fragrances have either been chemically created mostly from petroleum , or started as naturally derived fragrances and have had their chemical structure modified.

They can irritate the skin, respiratory and nervous systems, as well as creating problems for those with chemical sensitivities. I actually think of them as air pollution. Essential oils, on the other hand, are healing to the body. They are good for the skin, respiratory system, mind and mood. Plants make essential oils for various reasons. Essential oils help plants attract pollinators, compete with other plants, prevent microbial infections and deter herbivores and insects.

There are a lot of poor quality oils on the market. Make sure you purchase unadulterated, pure, therapeutic essential oils. I recommend looking for oils that are tested with gas chromatography, which helps us make sure oils are authentic by showing us the chemical composition of an essential oil. Please research any oil before use.
