Not only is it a zero-waste solution, but it's also completely free! And you don't need to buy expensive body care products, such as the Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey, when you can make your own at home with just a few simple ingredients.
Here's what you'll need:
- Almond milk pulp (leftover from making almond milk)
- Coconut oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
- Spread your almond milk pulp out onto a baking sheet and bake for 2-3 hours until completely dry and crisp.
- Once the almond milk pulp is dry, grind it into a fine powder using a food processor or blender.
- Melt coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave.
- Mix the almond milk powder and melted coconut oil together until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into soap molds or a shallow baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- Allow the soap to harden for 24 hours or until completely solid.
- Cut into bars or break into smaller pieces.
Not only is this soap a great way to use up leftover almond milk pulp, but it's also gentle and moisturizing for the skin. Coconut oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, which can help to nourish and protect the skin, while the almond milk pulp provides exfoliating and soothing properties.
So next time you make almond milk, don't throw away the pulp! Instead, try making your own zero-waste soap that's great for your skin and your wallet.
