Washing your hands does not have to harm the environment.
The soap flakes are made of natural ingredients, without any nasty chemicals. It was made to encourage you to re-use refillable foaming soap dispensers and give them a second life!
*Please use distilled or filtered drinking water. We do not recommend unfiltered tap water, as the impurities in tap water can cause the soap to become cloudy (as the salts in the soap will precipitate out). The soap is still safe for use, but the texture of the soap will be compromised.
How to Use: pour a 40g sachet of soap flakes into 240ml of hot boiling water. In winter time we suggest to add 280 ml water instead. Stir until soap flakes dissolve, to make a hand wash. Let the liquid cool for 30 to 45 minutes. Add 1ml – 2ml (20-40 drops) of Essential Oils of your choice. Pour the liquid into a foaming pump bottle.
Please note that as there are no added preservatives it is advisable to use within 2-3 months after mixing.
How To Customize: the fun part of making your own hand wash is being able to mix and blend your own scent with essential oils. Some suggestions on which essential oil scents to use for handwash:
