Grapefruit Silky Soap

If you have empty pump dispensers in your house, you might want to try your hand at making silky soap. They take a minimum of effort and ingredients.

1 cup unscented liquid soap
1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt
Grapefruit essential oil
2 T glycerin

Combine all of the above ingredients. Add essential oil, drop by drop until the scent is to your liking.

The salt is a natural thickener so if your silky soap is too thin, add a little more salt as required.
