DIY Peppermint Shampoo

There I was, minding my own business, trying to read a book, and my husband tells me he's out of shampoo. and deodorant. He then proceeds to ask me to make him shampoo (and deodorant) using our stash of oils! It's a pretty great day when your husband asks you for homemade shampoo. I love that he's totally on board with essential oil usage in this household, and even embracing them for his own use (and money saving, so that helps!).

Here is what I came up with for shampoo (haven't gotten to the deodorant yet...):

DIY Shampoo

1/2 cup castile soap (I used Dr. Bronner's unscented)
1/4 cup organic canned coconut milk
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon vitamin E oil
15 drops peppermint
15 drops lavender

put in a glass bottle with a pump lid, and shake! 

And the result? It smells yummy, and he loves it. To learn more about certified pure essential oils, email me! eastandupblog@gmail.com :)
