Orange & Honey Body Wash 

• 2/3 cup castile soap  - I use Dr. Bronner’s unscented Baby-Mild castile soap
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons oil (jojoba, sweet almond) – I used sweet almond oil
• 1 teaspoon vitamin E
• 2 teaspoons vegetable glycerin
• 40 – 50 drops of Young Living Orange Essential Oil

Stir or gently whisk together all six ingredients.  Since I will not be ingesting any of this mixture and this recipe doesn't make a huge batch, I am comfortable storing this in a plastic pump bottle in my shower.

Let’s talk ingredients … there are only 6!  And I can pronounce them all!

Castille soap, jojoba oil, vitamin E and glycerin can be found at your local pharmacy, grocery store or health food store.  Castille soap is an organic, gentle base for our body wash.  Vitamin E and sweet almond oil moisturize and nourish skin.  Glycerin provides the bubbles – what is body wash if it doesn't foam and bubble, right?!

....honey is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.  It accelerates healing and has historically been used to treat skin conditions.  {I swish it in my mouth when I get a canker sore and it is gone in a day or two!}  So, honey is a perfect additive for this body wash.

Young Living Orange essential oil is cold pressed from the orange rind.  The smell is distinctly orange without being too sweet. The scent of citrus has been found to boost immunity and reduce depression! Orange essential oil may also be used to combat hypertension, fluid retention, wrinkles or a dull/oily complexion.
