A blend of Natural Ingredients...Salt...Epsom Salts that will treat your hands kindly while deep cleaning them!
- Zest of 1 Large Lemon
- Juice of 1 Large Lemon
- Leaves of 5-6 stems of fresh Thyme
- 1½ cup of Epsom Salts
- 1 cup of Kosher Salt
- ¼ cup of Organic Coconut Oil
- ½ cup of Natural Liquid Soap
- Optional:
- 5 drops of Lemon Essential Oils
- Combine Softened Coconut Oil with the juice and zest of 1 large lemon till smooth
- Add the liquid soap and the leaves of Thyme and blend
- Add the Epsom Salts and Kosher Salt and combine well
- At this point you can decide if you want more liquid or salt and add sparingly. It is a personal preference.
- Speaking of personal preferences...at this point you can add approximately 5 drops of Lemon essential oil if you like a bit more aroma but it is totally your choice. I personally like it just the way it is : )
- Time to pack this up in a nice Mason Jar or Jar of choice. I used a 12 ounce jar and it was filled to the tippy top! So you can use whatever sizes you would like!
- Print out your labels...cut and assemble
- If you would like to add twine or ribbon with a little spoon...now is the time!
- Viola...you now have a fabulous scub for the gardener in your life...but if truth be told...it is wonderful for anyone with dirty hands including the kids!
