Do you ever wonder how to make the most of those soap slivers that you get when finishing your soap bar? (The tiny piece that always seems a bit too small to use properly, or ends up accidently taking off down the plug.) Or maybe you've never been one for soap bars, but don’t want the waste of single-use plastic bottles? We have the solution!

This simple recipe shows you how to turn a soap bar into a beautiful moisturising body wash that you can make and keep in a reusable bottle. - The ultimate low-waste clean routine.


Introducing the 'No Bar Body Wash'

Acala DIY Ingredients. Shea butter, soap, sunflower oil

Prep: 20 minutes

For this recipe you will need;

Let's get started!

1. Grate your leftover soap using a cheese or vegetable grater.
2. Melt the soap and shea butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of boiling water, and mix until melted.
