if you are taking this route as well or at least thinking about it,

today i'll share with you one of the easiest, most simple recipes for the natural version of a product we all use each and every day.......hand soap.

this recipe is for foaming hand soap but the liquid recipe follows.

it's super easy, you can create the scent of your choosing or keep it scent free
and you'll never run out of hand soap again.
