Homemade Liquid Hand Soap

For Valentines I got a few lovely lush items. One being lust bar soap.

 I broke off a bit and tried it in the shower but I found it to be too drying. I saw on pinterest a few pins of making your own liquid hand soap. I thought I would give it a try.

It took hardly any time. 

 

Homemade Liquid Hand Soap

one bar of soap
8 cups of water

First, heat the water in a pot, just long enough to steam:

Tips:

Just use one cup of water for every ounce of soap. ( for smaller or larger batches)

What You Need for Homemade liquid hand soap

• A bar of soap
• A grater
• Water
• A sauce pan or pot
• Empty soap dispensers or storage condtainers ( I used mason jars)

·         ·  Turn off the heat, and add the soap. Stir to melt the soap.

·         ·  Allow the mixture to cool for at least 15 minutes. Then, stir again. At this point, the soap should be slightly thicker.

·         ·  Allow to cool for another several hours ( I waited 4 hours)

·         ·  Stir to check the consistency. If it seems too waterly, reheat and add more soap. If it seems too thick; reheat and add more water.

·  Then, pour your soap into dispensers, and enjoy :)

Why I like making homemade liquid hand soap:

It took hardly any time.

saving  a ton of money ( I got three mason jars of soap out of one small bar!)
