Commercial soaps often contain harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that can strip the skin of natural oils and cause irritation. But what if you could make a 100% natural, antibacterial, and eco-friendly soap at home—without using caustic soda (lye)?
This homemade lemon, vinegar, and alcohol soap is a powerful alternative that cleanses, disinfects, and nourishes the skin without exposing your body to harmful toxins. Not only is it gentle on your skin, but it’s also a fantastic household cleaner, capable of cutting through grease, disinfecting surfaces, and eliminating odors!
Barbara O’Neill, a strong advocate for natural living, often emphasizes:
“What we put on our skin is just as important as what we put in our bodies. Using natural ingredients protects our health, supports the environment, and enhances our body’s natural defenses.”
