Hi Linda, I suppose it is just a matter of going to buy the products to make this and you then know exactly what ingredients are in it. I think I will give it a try! Thanks for sharing with us at #OvertheMoon – great to have you here!
I love making my own body products, you can add different oils, and scents to your liking. Thanks for stopping by!
I love this! We are more concerned these days by what we put in our bodies, we should be looking at our skin too and taking care of what we put on it. I had no idea that honey did such great things, you’ve certainly taught me quite a bit today. Pinning this so I can try to make our own soap soon! Thanks!
Seems like everything is bad for you now days! Honey is great for the skin, and mixing it in body wash or face wash dilutes it so it’s not sticky.
Great tutorial on making your own body wash. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Renee! I love making my own because I can make whatever scent I chose.
Do you have a formula for a foaming face wash please?
Thank you

Hi Estelle! I found one on Pinterest that I have been trying, the URL is https://simplifythishome.com/diy-face-cleanser-natural-foaming-face-wash/ and I just added my choice of essential oil to it. There’s other on Pinterest as well.
I was just wondering if Glycerin was natural since it’s made with an animal byproduct?
Hi Angela! From what I understand it is considered a Natural sources because it includes animal fats and plant oils like shea butter or coconut oil.
Shouldn’t there be some sort of preservative in this body wash since there is water added to the recipe. In all the research I have been doing when using water you need a preservative.
Hi Julie! I make a small amount that I use up quickly, but if it won’t be used up quickly then yes you will need a preservative.
Is it possible to make this without honey or use something else instead?
Hi Iris! You could leave the honey out of the recipe.
