DIY essential oils soap

The “dirty” ingredients in most store-bought soaps is enough to make your skin crawl, literally. And there is a cheap and simple DIY solution to purge the toxic from your house. I calculated the cost to using the recipe below: 50 cents per oil, 49 cents for the castile soap and 54 cents for the jojoba oil. You can reuse a mason jar or empty soap container or buy one at Home Goods or Marshalls for $3-$4. So all in you’re looking at $2 (without the jar) per 8 oz of soap. Sign me up!
