- 1/3 Cup of Distilled Water
- 1 Teaspoon of Lavender Leaves and Flowers
- 1 Teaspoon of Nettle
- 1 Teaspoon of Peppermint
- 1 Teaspoon of Thyme
- 2/3 Cup of Liquid Castile Soap
- 1 Teaspoon of fine Sea Salt
- 1 Teaspoon of Sweet Almond Oil
- 1 Teaspoon of Witch Hazel Extract
- 6 Drops of Ylang-Ylang Essential Oil
- 4 Drops of Clary Sage Essential Oil
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then remove from the hear, and add in the lavender, nettle, peppermint, and thyme. Cover and let steep for 25 minutes. Strain off and discard the solids. Add the castile soap to the herb-infused water, followed by the salt, sweet almond oil, witch hazel, and the essential oils. Blend well, continuing to stir as the mixture cools and thickens. When the mixture has reached room temperature, transfer it to a prepared container and seal tightly. Stored in a refrigerator, this shampoo will keep for 2 weeks. Shake before each use.
This recipe makes enough for approximately 4 to 5 shampoos.
