This is the thickest body wash recipe I've tried. Thanks. It actually works!

[jnoshields]

Thank you so much for sharing this! I just combined this method with a recipe I found for creamy body wash (incorporating shea butter and a fast absorbing oil) and it came out so rich and exactly the texture I’ve been hoping to duplicate!

So happy I found this. I've been wanting to try more natural products but so many of the recipes for body wash and other products I find have added ingredients that are not natural. It does seem a little strange to use honey on my body but I have long been a promoter of honey to anyone who would listen so I am willing to try.

I cannot believe this works! Also the faint scent of the castle soap is undetectable .) I used all peppermint

[ashleywood]

I would absolutely use honey in my shower gel. This is super easy. I love this

Your natural recipe is the only recipe I found that has a really nice thick body wash consistency that I like and that Baby EO sounds amazing. Thank you. By the way, you look 30 years old! You look great. It’s what natural products do. 😊

Hi. Thank you so much for such wonderful recipe. Could you please tell how long is the shelf life of this gel?

[jerushacarlson]

Careful with ylang ylang! It DOES cause headaches in some people. So, if you start getting headaches after using it, stop and use a different floral! That said, it’s also excellent for hormone balance and as an aphrodisiac… a very strong one!

You made this the other day and it came out extremely thick actually it was too thick to use. So I just experimented add extra Castile soap and vegetable glycerin then use my whipping blade to whip some air into it I loved the way it came out.

This looks PHENOMENAL! Can't wait to try it!

[wellhello]

Thank you for sharing. I love simple, limited ingredient recipes. I almost always use honey in my body washes. I love it! It has helped my skin tremendously. Depending on if it's winter or summer I use coconut oil and fractionated coconut oil, as well.

[marygarza]

My water was boiling then used fine salt you recommended and it still didn’t dissolve and didn’t thicken. I still love.

[nessamarie]

I just finished a diy body gel I made using a different recipe. It was nice, but I’m looking for a different scent and more lather. I can’t wait to try this one!

[WinnieK.G]

Thanks for the tips. I'll be adding honey as the moisturiser

[Tojoland]

Thanks for the information.Very quick and easy. Love it.

[d.i.f.y]

Thank you so much! I was looking for a recipe to help me out, and girl, you got it down to the T! I love it

[kimpatterson]

Thank you for sharing mine did not work with table salt it would not dissolve it boiling hot water, which I thought was very weird. So I tried sea salt which worked much better. It started clumping after adding the Castile soap, so I used mixer. It was a little more watery than I thought but soaped up really well in the shower.

Just made this AND used it!!! It was perfect!
