Homemade Soft Scrub

by Crystal on April 16, 2013

I’ve long wanted to make Homemade Soft Scrub and after doing it today and discovering how simple it was, I’m kicking myself that I waited this long.

It’s seriously just three ingredients — one of which is water.

It takes all of maybe three minutes to mix up. And that is it!

By the way, I tried it out and it works really well. Score!

Homemade Soft Scrub

  • 3/4 cup baking soda (slightly heaped)
  • 1/4 cup Castile soap (I used Mrs. Meyer’s All Purpose Cleaner, because that’s all I had. It seemed to work just fine. But every recipe I’ve seen online mentions using Dr. Bronner’s.)
  • 2 Tablespoons water

Mix the baking soda and soap together to make a paste. Add in the 2 Tablespoons water and stir well. Pour into plastic or glass container with a lid.

To use, squirt or pour onto a sponge and scrub. Rinse well with water after scrubbing.

Recipe adapted from Live Renewed.
