You don’t need to spend loads of money on handwash for your bathroom or kitchen. Make it yourself and be rewarded with the knowledge that there are no nasty fragrance chemicals lurking in it.
This is one of my favourite and fastest recipes to make, and while the mixture is a bit gluggy when it comes out of the dispenser, the glycerine will keep your hands wonderfully moisturised.
Plus, the rosewater smells amazing.
250ml boiling water
2 tbsp grated Sunlight soap
2 tsp glycerine or glycerol (from chemists or supermarkets)
2 tsp rosewater (from chemists or specialty food stores)
1 Melt the grated soap in the boiling water and then stir in the glycerine and rosewater.
2 Pour into the soap dispenser while still warm as it sets as a jelly.
3 If the jelly is too stiff to make it through the pump dispenser, just add a little more boiling water to reduce it down.
