Homemade Household Product Ingredient List

Distilled White Vinegar

Vinegar is the cornerstone ingredient in my cleaning supply collection. The acidity in vinegar makes it a great choice for cutting through grease and dirt. It does have disinfectant properties, but there is no scientific evidence that it will kill harmful bacteria like salmonella. You can read more about cleaning with distilled white vinegar here.

Dish Liquid

Essential Oils

70% Rubbing Alcohol

Cornstarch

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Arm & Hammer Baking Soda

Morton Kosher Salt

Arm & Hammer Washing Soda

Bar Soap for Laundry Powder

OxiClean

Beeswax

You can purchase beeswax in bars or in pellets. I prefer to use the pellets because they are easier to measure and melt down for these recipes.

Shea Butter

If your shea butter looks a little gritty, melt it down before adding it into your recipes. As it re-solidifies, it should turn out smooth and creamy. I have been using the shea butter found in the link above, but I plan to try this one out next time.

Coconut Oil

Vitamin E Oil

Cocoa Butter

There is an option via this link to purchase deodorized cocoa butter. This is a good idea if you do not want a chocolatey smell in your finished product.

Xylitol

Bentonite Clay

Calcium Carbonate

Sweet Almond Oil

100% Lye

Be very careful when using lye. It is recommended to wear rubber gloves and goggles/safety glasses while working with this ingredient. Keep in mind that when your soap is saponified and cured, there will be no lye left so you do not have to worry about the finished produce being harmful as long as you follow the correct procedure.
