I know what your probably thinking. "But Rowan, if we're making liquid hand soap, why are you showing us a picture of a bunch of soap bars?" Well, liquid hand soap can be made from soap bars - mine sure are!
What you will need:
- a 4 ounce bar of soap
-2 quarts of water
-a metal grater
-a large pot
-hand mixer or wisk
-1 container for dispensing
-1 container for storage of extra
1. Grate the soap into a fine pile.
2. Then heat the water and as the water begins to simmer, mix in the grated soap and mix well.
3. Remove from heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Mix it well again!
4. Let the mixture sit over night. Then stir it to test consistency, if it's too thick you can reheat and add more water, and if it's too think you can reheat and add more soap. Don't forget to keep mixing it well.
5. Pour it into you're lovely soap dispenser, and store the rest in an the container
It's cheap, easy, fun and eco friendly - I don't think you could beat that unless you robbed a Walmart.
Don't forget, you can get all kinds of colours and smells by buying the different types of soaps. Etsy has tons of handmade soaps that have all sorts of soaps. Turkish coffee soap is one that stands out to me.
Hint: Within the next few weeks i'll be posting a how to on making mason jar dispensers.
