Cleaning: Handsoap(Liquid and Foam) & Sanitizer

Handsoap(Liquid)

  • 1/2 cup castile soap 
  • 1/2 cup distilled water (use this instead of tap water, it helps prolong the life of the soap)
  • 1 tbsp. almond oil or jojoba oil (optional, but helps soften your skin) 
  • 20 drops of your favourite essential oil (optional, but nice, mix several drops of your favourite to create a nice scent recipe)

Foaming

To make the foaming version of this, add 220 ml of water and 30 ml castile soap (2 tbsp), along with the same oil and essential oil measurements to a clean, foaming hand soap bottle.  Shake and enjoy!

Sanitizer

  • 1/2 cup aloe vera gel (if you can get pure —not green—, that’s the best)
  • 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol 
  • 1 tablespoon nourishing oil (vitamin e, jojoba, sweet almond)
  • 15 drops of your favourite essential oils (lavender, tea tree, vanilla, thyme, rosemary, lemon, peppermint, etc.)
