BODY_WASH
Shower gel or Shower cream also known as BODY WASH is the general term for liquid products used for cleansing the body.
It's an emulsion of water and detergent base (derived from petroleum), usually with added fragrance, used as a skin cleansing agent in the shower or bath.
It has advantages over soap because it is less irritating to the skin, lathers better in hard water areas and does not leave a mineral residue on the skin or in the bath tub after usage.

2. 1/4cup Coconut oil
3. 1/4cup raw Honey
4. 1tsp Vitamin E
5. 15drops Eucalyptus Essential oil

7. 10drops Lemon or Grapefruit Essential oil.
--> Scoop Coconut oil into microwave safe bowl and heat on medium setting for 30secs until melted.
--> Add Honey, Essential oils, Vitamin E and whisk together.
--> Add Castile soap slowly, stirring gently to avoid creating suds.
--> Transfer to glass or plastic bottle.
