Our all natural hand wash recipe

natural hand wash recipe

We've been in our test kitchen working with soap nuts, Castile soap and Australian Natural Soap Company soap flakes trialling recipes for dog wash, body wash and hand wash. The aim - to harness the cleaning power of soap nuts combined with the soapy foaming texture of Castile soap and soap flakes to create affordable homemade body care products with no nasties.

After refining our recipe we'd like to share our favourite three ingredient hand wash plus your favourite essential oil. An easy, affordable, plastic free alternative to hand wash.
