finally found a body wash recipe!  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
1/2 c Dr. Bonners
1/4 - 1/2 c water (depends on your preference)
2 tbsp. Aloe Vera Gel (I get Aubrey's organics - every other brand has all the crap in it that I am tryinig to avoid like preservatives and dyes)
8 drops essential oil of your choice

The initial investment is a bit hefty (Aubrey's and essential oils not cheap) but with the supplies I got this stuff is going to last me forever! Not only is it much cheaper in the long run it avoids any harsh chemicals, reduces waste on packaging and all the energy that goes into making the commercial stuff. A little goes a long way, a few drops on a sponge or bath puff and that is plenty.

If you buy during a frontier co-op, you can get 16 oz. of Lily of the desert organic Aloe Vera Gel for 2.67 and Dr. Bronners for 3.45 for 8 oz.
