Simple Peppermint Shampoo Recipe
Making your own shampoo feels special and calming. I first tried this Simple Peppermint Shampoo Recipe on a quiet weekend morning.
Yield: 10 Washes
Materials
- 1 cup liquid castile soap
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
- 1 cup distilled water
Instructions
Measure the Soap
- Pour liquid castile soap into a clean mixing bowl. Use a measuring cup for accuracy.
Add the Oils
- Add coconut oil and olive oil to the soap. These help keep hair soft.
Mix Gently
- Stir the mixture slowly. Avoid fast mixing to reduce bubbles.
Add Peppermint Oil
- Add peppermint essential oil drops. Stir gently until the scent spreads evenly.
Pour in Water
- Slowly add distilled water. Stir again until fully mixed and smooth.
Transfer to Bottle
- Use a funnel to pour shampoo into a clean bottle. Close the lid tightly.
Shake Before Use
- Shake the bottle gently before each use. Natural ingredients can separate slightly.
Notes
- Always use distilled water for longer shelf life.
- Do a patch test before full use.
- Use pure peppermint essential oil only.
- Shake gently, not hard.
- Avoid contact with eyes.
