So a few may be asking why is $2 body wash such a big deal? And I ask you, have you been around a 3 year old, specifically at bath time? They use a lot of bubbles! So, I need a body wash that is as cheap, as healthy, and as safe as possible!

This quick and easy budget friendly body wash has only 3 simple ingredients (a win for a busy mama!). And like most bath products, the first ingredient is water. The other ingredients that you can’t get right out of the tap are unscented castile soap and
Castile Soap
I simply love this plant based product! I get the unscented kind so I can add my essential oils, and let me tell you, they pair well together. But the reason I love this stuff is because it’s so gentle on my kiddos sensitive skin! If you can’t find castile soap in your local store, you can get it here!
Essential Oil
The essential oil that I chose (and recommend) was Young Living’s lavender. Why Young Living essential oils? Well, you can read the full blog here, but in short, I trust that they are safe to use with my kids. The aromatic qualities of lavender help to soothe and relax, so perfect for just before bedtime! Keep in mind that I’m not diagnosing or treating anything here… just passing on my experiences.
You can order Young Living’s lavender essential oil here after creating an account. But let’s be honest, we like a deal and! Once you get started with essential oils, you will find numerous uses for them (I’ll be posting DIY recipes). So, signing for a wholesale account would give you a 24% discount on every product from Young Living. …did someone say DEAL?! Dooooo itttt! Sign up for wholesale membership here (and check out this page for a bit more info about a Young Living membership)!
Okaaaayyyy are you ready?
You will need:
- A pump bottle, you can get one here or just reuse an old one like I did (budget!)
- 4 ounces unscented Castile soap
- 8 ounces water
- 10-15 drops lavender essential oil
Add all three ingredients together and it’s ready to use! Gently shake before each use!
So great, I have this awesome body wash that the whole family can use, but what do I do with this extra Castile soap?! Well, you can make more body wash (perhaps a manly smelling one with Young Living’s Cedarwood or Valor blend??) OR I am working on the perfect LAUNDRY SOAP recipe so stay tuned for that!

One thought on “DIY Body Wash on a Budget”
What fun! This is an awesome idea–we get those foaming pump handsoaps and then keep refilling them with our own soap (my hubby knows the best mex of water to soap–I usually fail miserably). I love the idea of using even better ingredients!
