Essential Oil Hand Soap Base Ingredients
Essential oils are a natural way to keep your hands clean and free of bacteria. In fact, they can be just as effective as traditional hand soaps, without the harsh chemicals. Here are the two ingredients needed for the base of this hand soap recipe.
Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera gel leaves skin soft and silky without a sticky residue. Its gentle nature makes it great to use as a cleanser or include in homemade soap recipes.
Aloe vera gel is not thick like a hair gel would be. It is actually a clear and thin, watery liquid… this is normal. It is not the same as aloe vera jelly.
I don’t buy my aloe vera gel from the store, many times those versions have additives. Plus, true aloe vera gel isn’t green or thick like I mentioned above.

Castile Soap
Castile soap lifts dirt and grime, cuts grease and tough stains. This is a must have for any DIY soap recipes.
Perfect for hand soaps, laundry detergents, homemade dish soaps and other natural cleaning recipes.
Dr. Bronners is my favorite unscented castile soap. It contains no synthetic preservatives, no detergents and no foaming agents. It also lasts a while because it is concentrated and is very cost effective cleanser.
