This simple formula gets dirty hands squeaky clean without drying or harming the skin. Perfect for gardeners (’tis the season) but a must-have for all of us, since this cleanser pampers our mitts while busting grime of all kinds.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup almond meal
1/8 cup orris root, rice flour, or oatmeal
1/8 cup liquid castile soap
10 drops essential oils of choice (you can use clove, bergamot, or neroli for a traditional scent)
1. In a bowl, combine ingredients thoroughly.
2. Dampen hands and scoop up some of the formula, scrubbing gently and adding water as needed to make a lather.
3. Rinse thoroughly.
