So I love Mrs. Myers soap. Especially the basil scent.  So I found some cheap bars of soap on the internet. Ordered 5 of them and made my own soap! I was inspired by this woman’s blog I follow called The Farmers Nest.  Since I keep reading that Antibacterial soap is dangerous I wanted to find an alternative.  Whether or not the soap is truly harmful is still up for debate. However, I LOVE Mrs. Meyers hand soap but it is far to expensive to continually buy.  So I made my own by the gallon!  Here is what you’ll need and you can successfully make 5 gallons of your own Myers hand soap.

1. Glycerin Skin Protectant

2. Cheese grater

3. Mrs. Myers bars of soap ( I use Basil).

4. A gallon of distilled water, large pot to make it in and some empty gallon sized bottles. I used an old Clorox bleach bottle.

Follow the directions from this lovely ladies blog and ta-da you have your own gallon of Myers soap for a little less than $5.  Just buy more bars of soap when you need another gallon and you’ll definitely have glycerin left over for a while!

I have also read on other blogs some people think it’s better to use 2 BARS of soap instead of just one bar. Stating it makes it more concentrated and soapy 🙂

Happy soap making.

Love,
J
