How to make an antibacterial liquid hand soap in just 5 minutes from start to finish. If you have sensitive skin, it’s wise to use less essential oils as some of the oils can be irritating to sensitive skin. The coconut oil acts as a carrier oil, but still use caution and test a little on your skin before using. RECIPE: 🌿 1 1/2 cups distilled water 🌿 2 tablespoons liquid castile soap 🌿 1 tablespoon fractionated coconut oil 🌿 15 drops clove essential oil 🌿 5 drops rosemary essential oil 🌿 10 drops tea tree oil 🌿 10 drops oregano oil 🌿 5 drops bergamot essential oil 🌿 5 drops cinnamon essential oil 🌿 5 drops eucalyptus essential oil 🌿 5 drops peppermint essential oil 🌿 16 ounce glass foaming hand soap dispenser To Make: 1. To make this foaming antibacterial hand soap recipe, start by adding the distilled water to a 16 ounce glass soap dispenser bottle. It’s important to add the water first, not the soap, otherwise it will create bubbles. Leave about 1 inch of room at the top of the bottle to ensure there is enough space for the soap to be added, and to prevent it from overflowing when the foaming pump lid is placed on top later. 2. Next, add in the liquid castile soap, fractionated coconut oil, and the essential oils, to the glass bottle and place the foaming pump lid on tightly. Lightly swish the solution around in the bottle to combine the ingredients. 3. To use this hand soap, lightly swish the soap in the dispenser before each use. Squirt a small amount of the soap onto the palm of your hands as needed, washing as normal, and rinsing with water. #antibacterial #handsoap #recipe #naturalskincare #naturalsoap

It’s a simple process to regrow leftover vegetable scraps, and a great way to minimise food waste (other than composting). Some things to keep in mind when regrowing vegetables are: 🍃 Only a small amount of water is needed: The veggies don’t need a lot of water, only enough to cover their roots. About 1/2 inch of water is suffice (you can add more if need be), otherwise the plants can become slimy and mouldy. 🍃 Check on your plants regularly: Make sure to check the water every 2-3 days to ensure that there’s still enough water left in the pan, and that there aren’t any pieces of vegetables floating around in the bowl, rotting and building slime. 🍃 Change up the containers depending on what veggies you’re growing: The size and shape of the container will vary depending on what size the food is. Lettuce and celery tend to grow best in shallow bowls, while green onions and lemongrass grow better in tall, skinny glasses. 🍃 Ensure you don’t overcrowd your veggies: Feel free to regrow multiples of the same plant, just don’t overdo it so that they’re overcrowding the area. 🍃 Keep veggies in partial sunshine: It’s important that your vegetables see plenty of sunshine throughout the day in order to grow.

As we all have different hair types, this recipe can be customised to meet your specific hair needs. It may take some time (and a little trial and error) to find the perfect conditioner recipe for your hair, but the base is the same. RECIPE: 🍃 1/2 cup distilled water (or peppermint or tea tree hydrosol) 🍃 1 teaspoon jojoba oil 🍃 1 teaspoon argan oil or castor oil 🍃 1 teaspoon cocoa butter 🍃 1 teaspoon glycerin (optional) 🍃 4 teaspoons emulsifying wax 🍃 1 and 1/4 teaspoons Leucidal Complete preservative (optional) 🍃 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil 🍃 20 drops essential oil (optional) To Make: 1. Place a heat-proof glass bowl on top of a saucepan filled with water to make a double boiler. Next, add the jojoba oil, argan oil, cocoa butter, glycerin, and emulsifying wax to the bowl and bring the water to a boil. 2. Stir the mixture occasionally until the ingredients have completely melted, then remove the bowl from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to about room temperature before slowly adding the water or hydrosol to the mixture. 3. Add the water a little at a time, while stirring the solution until the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify. You can use a stand mixer to help you with this process, just set it to low speed while you slowly add in the water. 4. Once all the water has been added, and the mixture is thick, an optional step is to use a hand mixer to whip the conditioner together to give it a light, fluffy consistency. 5. Next, using a spoon, stir in the preservative (if using), vitamin E oil, and essential oils (if using). 6. Once the conditioner has cooled to room temperature, transfer the mixture to a pump bottle. To make this process easier you can use a piping bag to pipe the mixture into the bottle. Store the product in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and away from excess heat. To increase the shelf-life, keep the conditioner in the fridge. If you choose not to use a preservative, this conditioner will only keep for up to one week or so. #hairconditioner #haircare #conditioner #naturalhaircare
