Homemade Rosemary Mint Shampoo
In a bid to get unnecessary plastic out of our lives, many of us have turned to making our own products. This is fun and can be very satisfying. Here is a lovely recipe for a homemade shampoo that can be put in a glass container or in a recycled shampoo bottle.
Ingredients:
1 cup Aloe Vera Gel
3 tblsp Olive Oil, or oil of choice
10 tblsp Baking Soda
20 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
10 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
Mix all ingredients together and store in glass bottle, or reuse an old shampoo container.
