“Luxurious Skin Nourishing Hand Soap”
By: Diane Mishler, Certified Aromatherapist
KidSafe: No
I like this recipe because not only is it fairly quick and simple to make but useful 🙂 This recipe takes advantage of skin-nourishing essential oils that will keep your hands moisturized. These oils are kind and calming and make a lovely, fruity blend. Everyone uses hand soap and what friend wouldn’t want to receive one of these! I would put this blend in a pretty pump bottle and wrap it in cellophane with eye-catching ribbon to make it special. Or put it in a Christmas stocking or a dainty lacey bag with a drawstring. Put a personalized card on it and it’s ready to go!
What you’ll need:
- 2 ounce bottle
- 7 drops Helichrysum Italicum
- 5 drops Geranium Egyptian
- 7 drops Chamomile Roman
- 2 drops Ylang Ylang Complete
- 2 ounces of Castile Soap
What you’ll do:
- Mix ingredients well and put in bottle. This recipe is for a small amount, but you can double it or more and put in a larger bottle with a pump.
2 lucky winners will receive all the essential oils to make the master blend.
Includes 5 mL bottles of Helichrysum Italicum, Geranium Egyptian, Chamomile Roman; and a 10 mL bottle of Ylang Ylang Complete.

Can I use it for body wash?
Sure! Let us know what you think when you give it a try!
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but do diy hand soaps need something like a preservative to keep bacteria from growing in the soap?
This is a great question! The only time I use a preservative is if I am adding any water to a recipe. If not, you should be good without the preservative.
what kind of preservative should we use? I want to make a spray cleaner for my counters and would need to add water to the bottle
Love Plant Therapy!
