I was about to go to the store one day to buy more body-wash, when I had a sudden moment of clarity: Why on god’s green earth would I PURCHASE body-wash? Why would anyone PURCHASE BODY-WASH?? What have I been doing all these years BUYING BODY-WASH? Absolute lunacy. I’ve seen the light.

Now I make my own body-wash. I’ve made this recipe four times, and have found it to be overall excellent. It doesn’t have exactly the same slippery texture as commercial body-wash (which, apparently, is a ploy to make it feel nice) but it leaves my skin more hydrated than any body-wash I’ve ever used.
