Most of the products we use every day (soap, shampoo, deodorant, shaving cream, laundry detergent, cleaning products, etc) contain dozens of toxins that can have serious detrimental effects on our health.
There are many simple recipes we can follow to make our own homemade products that are wonderful to use, work great, smell great, and can give us peace of mind since we know exactly what ingredients have gone into the product.
