How to Make Shampoo Bars with Tallow | SHAMPOO BARS DIY | Bumblebee Apothecary

Have you been looking for a completely natural shampoo? It can be a frustrating and disappointing process! For years I settled for either store bought shampoos that I didn't love the ingredients, or homemade hair washes that didn't work well. Eventually I designed these shampoo bars, and have never looked back! They wash and condition hair gorgeously. You get that nice lather while you're washing your hair, and they smell so good!

🐝 TALLOW SHAMPOO BAR RECIPE DIRECTIONS

Ingredients:

10 oz. grass fed tallow
10 oz. refined coconut oil
10 oz. olive oil
6 oz. castor oil
13.68 oz. water
5.11 oz. lye
2 tbsp essential oil

Instructions:

Weigh tallow, coconut oil, olive oil, and castor oil, and put into a crockpot on high, or a pot on the stove on low heat.
Weigh the water in a heat safe container or sturdy plastic bucket, and weigh lye separately.
Once oils are melted, check the temperature. You want the oils to be 100 degrees F. Let oils cool if necessary.
Once oils are at 100 degrees F, take the lye and water outdoors. Wearing gloves and safety goggles, carefully and slowly pour the lye into the water. Stir gently.
Once the lye water has turned from cloudy to clear, leave it to cool for 10 minutes.
Carefully pour the lye water into the oil mixture.
Use an immersion blender to mix the shampoo bar mixture. After a few minutes, it will grow creamy, and start to thicken. Mix until it has reached “trace,” the light pudding consistency.
Add the essential oils and blend again to incorporate.
Pour shampoo bar mixture into molds, top with wax paper, and wrap molds in towels.
After 24 hours, remove soap from mold and slice into bars. Let cure in an area with good air flow for 4 weeks.

Have you tried shampoo bars? What did you think?

Hi, I recently bought your shampoo bar with the acv rinse and the conditioning bar. I am African American and have curly hair. Everything was amazing!!!! I detoxed my hair first with your detox recipe then I washed and conditioned. My hair loved it and it came out so soft and easy to manage. Thank

just stumbled on your wonderful site. I've been buying shampoo bars for the last 10 years because I prefer them over the chemical-laden liquid shampoos. Went out and bought some grass-fed beef tallow to try to make my own now. Love your step by step instructions. Thank you so much for sharing and showing how easy it is to make these shampoo bar.
