Taking a harder look at all things soapy, do you all realize they've diluted detergents and soaps with more and more water while raising prices? Bars of real soap, especially made with actual oil, fat, etc and natural essential oils, are hard to find in box stores. They converted to cheaper gel things, and then the genius of foamy stuff because we're apparently too lazy to lather, which nets then 4-5 TIMES more money, because there's a simple secret! If you save one foamy soap bottle, put 1/4 of a good soap gel and then top off the bottle with water while stirring lightly to dissolve (DILUTE) the gel. VOILA you've made one gel soap into 4 (or 5) foaming soap bottles!
But step back from these a minute- turns out a lot of people turned to making and selling handmade soap during the plandemic. Find your locals at the farmers market, check their ingredients for natural good stuff, and enjoy long-lasting skin health. And then- hear me out- find a crochet person at the same market, probably selling towels and washcloths and plushies. Ask them to make Soap Savers, little cotton pouches to hold soap bars and bits, which double as scrubbers that foam up nicely, and exploit every last bit of that excellent soap bar.
Back to natural clean stuff, getting healthier, and bankrupting evil corporations all at the same time.
I actually love it when people here start to talk about things like this. We have been so brain-washed by them.
It has been a long time since I have purchased commercial soap for myself. Now, my family still use it but I have stopped a long time. I used to make it myself but the corners seem too sharp. You have to use the round and I can never create square bar.
As for shampoo, I am still not able to do it. I make my own toothpaste also.
I was going to make toothpaste but found decent looking fluoride-free and with apatite no less, which rebuilds enamel. Been growing spearmint and things for essential oil extracts, need to set those up.
