Antibacterial Soap Recipe

Lavender oil – a very popular anti-bacterial herb.
Rosemary oil has astringent properties.
Patchouli oil helps with cell regeneration and has antiseptic, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties.
Eucalyptus oil is also an anti-bacterial herb.
Tea tree oil is a wonderful choice as a secondary oil and has antiseptic qualities.
Sandalwood oil is also an antiseptic and astringent herb.
Bergamont and Clove are also both antiseptic herbs with very strong scents you may not care for.

Use a bar of castile Soap (From the January Recipe's) and grate the soap into a pan and put that pan over a pan of water and turn up the heat.
As the water heats it will melt the soap.
Stir to make sure the soap is completely melted.
Remove from heat and add 20-30 drops of your chosen oil or oils.
No more than 30 drops total or you may have some really mushy soap. For example, if you chose Lavender oil and Tea Tree Oil – you may want to add 20 drops of Lavender Oil and 10 drops of Tea Tree Oil to make a combined total of 30 drops of oil.
Pour mixture into soap molds, small metal or glass dish and allow to dry.

After 24 hours you should be able to pop your soap out and stack it up (if you made a bigger batch) and let it “cure” for about a week before using. Then wrap in paper (wax paper or parchment is fine) and it will stay perfect until you’re ready to use. n of finely ground herbs. Pour the soap mixture into a bowl or a small metal or glass dish and allow it to dry.
