Make Your Own Hand-soap/Body-wash

In January I decided that I was going to start making a lot of my own things. So far I have made laundry detergent, hand-soap, body-wash, fabric softener, bar soap, and bathroom/kitchen cleaner.It is now the first of April and I am still using the stuff that I made in January. 

This hand-soap recipe makes a gallon and you can use any type of soap you like. I used Dial antibacterial, but use whatever tickles your fancy. This cost me less than $1.50 to make a gallon of hand-soap.

              Ingredients

• 8oz of soap (you can actually use 6-8oz)
• 1 gallon of water
• 2 tablespoons of glycerin (this is in the bandaid isle at walmart)

1.  Grate the soap with a cheese grater or put it into a food processor
2.  Add the soap and glycerin to a gallon of water 
3.  Heat the water on medium heat until the soap is melted
4.  Allow the soap mixture to sit 12 hours
5.  Use a mixer and mix the soap, then put into a old milk jug.
