Lavender – coconut shower gel
The best lavender shower gel is prepared with lavender tea instead of essential vegetable oil – we recommend freshly brewed tea. So the shower gel has a calming effect. First pour curd soap into a sealable bottle and add 100 milliliters of hot lavender tea. Shake until the soap has completely dissolved in the tea. When the mixture has cooled, add a teaspoon of olive oil.

The honey has an antibacterial effect and makes the skin mild. The shower gel with honey also moisturizes and delays the aging process. In the picture you can see that the honey is not heated. So the important enzymes are not lost. There are a number of optional ingredients that you can use. We have used some of them in our recipes. Look at the others here:
