Why recepie famous for?

Decided to try making my own soap, more of a body wash to be exact. homemade-body-wash-recipe. This soap is gentle enough I have also been using it on my children. The lavender is perfect for a nighttime bath!

Ingredients

1/2 cup full-fat unsweetened coconut milk canned
2/3 cup castile soap I prefer the lavender or Baby Mild
5 drops lavender essential oil
2 tsp vegetable glycerin optional
3 tsp vitamin E oil

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a bottle. Shake and use on a washcloth.

This body wash has a very short lifespan since it lacks preservatives and contains coconut milk, so it's best to keep this body wash in the fridge and use it within a week. If you don't think you'll use this body wash quickly, reduce the recipe, or freeze the extra in an ice cube tray to defrost in small batches. See the 2016 note below. The glycerin may be left out if you don't have any on hand. As an alternative, you can use a nourishing oil, like jojoba, almond, or olive oil.
