Personal care manufacturers in the U.S. don’t always make the consumer’s health a priority, often adding ingredients known to be harmful to humans. Learning how to make your own personal care products not only increases your self-reliance skills, but also ensures only the highest quality ingredients are being absorbed into your body. Adding essential oils to the mix increases the therapeutic (not to mention aromatic!) benefits of homemade products. Today we chat with Kelly Cable, creator of Simple Life Mom and author of The Natural Soapmaking Book for Beginners. She has a passion for natural health and creating everything possible within the home herself in order to have more control over ingredients, self-sustainability, and health.

During this time when so many of us are passing the hours in isolation, why not experiment with making your own personal care products with essential oils?
