Natural Body Wash
This body wash combines several of my favorite skin care ingredients. I use:
Raw honey: I’ve posted before about how honey is a great skin care ingredient on its own and how it is great for wound healing (and even used in hospitals). In this recipe, it helps soften skin and is naturally soothing & antibacterial. I use local, raw honey when possible and use an organic raw honey (like this one) when I can’t find any locally.
Natural Oils: I use the oil cleansing method to wash my face each day and my skin has never looked better. This recipe uses natural oils to accomplish some of the same benefits as oil cleansing for the whole body. I used a mixture of castor oil and olive oil.
Liquid Castille soap– This gives it the cleansing ability. I use Dr. Bronner’s Baby Mild so that I can customize the scent with essential oils, but any scent of organic liquid castille soap will work.
Essential Oils: I buy organic essential oils in bulk for use in recipe like this and other homemade care products.

Instructions Carefully mix all ingredients by hand with a spoon in a glass liquid measuring cup. Do not use a blender, whisk or had mixer as this will create bubbles and make it impossible to get into a container. Pour into a (preferably glass) container and use in the shower as a body wash. I use with a natural sea sponge for easy use. Note: This recipe will last for several months at room temperature.
