Publisher's summary

In my book, Frugal Mama’s Guide to Making Bar Soap, Liquid Soap, Shampoo, Conditioner, Facial Cleanser, Laundry Detergent, Pet Wash I will show you how to create homemade soaps and cleaning products free of harsh, artificial chemicals. Your home isn't really clean if your clothes are washed in triclosan and phosphorous, are they?

What if your house and family could be safely and naturally clean?

When it comes to leading a balanced lifestyle, most people concentrate on diet and exercise. However, these two variables do not account for all of one's well-being. Healthy living also includes the products we use daily, whether laundry-related, bathing-related, or cosmetic-related. Soaps, shampoos, lotions, creams, and even make-up kits are all parts of our way of life.

You may not realize it, but they have an impact on your hormones, including those containing fragrances, triclosan, and parabens. Non-users of these products are significantly more likely to be among the populations with the lowest levels of toxins in their bodies, according to recent research from the Silent Spring Institute. On the other hand, those who steer clear of BPA may still have a considerable amount of chemicals in their systems.

Natural homemade soaps are environmentally friendly.

Even though we use bath products that are, in theory, manufactured to keep our bodies clean, most of them are not, in reality, clean. To be labeled as "clean," those products must be both human and environmentally friendly. They should not contain substances that can cause bodily harm, such as endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptors in our daily home-based items have been the subject of research for a long time.
