Why Make Your Own Hand Soap?

Store-bought soaps often contain synthetic fragrances, preservatives, and ingredients that can dry out your skin.

Making your own foaming hand soap lets you:

• Control the ingredients
• Enjoy skin-friendly cleansing
• Embrace the scents of the season naturally (my favorite reason!)

This recipe uses a festive blend of cinnamon, clove, ginger, and sweet orange essential oils to give your soap that signature pumpkin spice scent, without any artificial fragrance.

I know you are going to love it!
