It started with <a href=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/tallow-balm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tallow balm<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/tallow-shampoo-bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shampoo bars<\/a> and then <a href=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/simple-tallow-deodorant-recipe-that-actually-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deodorant<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/simple-homemade-sunscreen-with-tallow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sunscreen<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/diy-tallow-magnesium-lotion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">magnesium lotion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After creating a natural, homemade skin care routine that we love, next was to start making our own cleaning and home products. Dish soap was the first on our list. Because, as a family that cooks a lot without a dishwasher, the dirty dishes pile up quickly and good dish soap is very important!<\/p>\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id82850_db42c5-07 >

There are so many options and types of oils that can be used depending on the type of soap you are trying to create. Each oil has a rating in terms of specific qualities like hardness, conditioning, bubbly, cleansing, and longevity. <a href=\"https:\/\/thenerdyfarmwife.com\/soapmaking-oils-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This chart<\/a> is so helpful in breaking down all of that information.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/diy-dish-soap-bars.jpg\" alt=\"diy dish soap bars\" class=\"wp-image-82830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/diy-dish-soap-bars.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/diy-dish-soap-bars-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/diy-dish-soap-bars-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/diy-dish-soap-bars-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/diy-dish-soap-bars-735x490.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For making my own dish bar soap recipe, I knew I wanted something that was going to be more cleansing and harder than your standard body soap or hand soap. This is to make sure dishes are left clean and the bar would withstand regular water use without melting away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to cleansing, <strong>coconut oil<\/strong> is supreme. But it can also be harsh and dry out skin.

It is the most cleansing oil as well as adds to the hardness and bubbles the bar creates. Our favorite place to purchase coconut oil is in the 5-gallon buckets from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azurestandard.com\/?a_aid=1VhF2IHeYI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Azure Standard<\/a>. The price and quality are the best we\u2019ve found and coconut oil is a staple in both our kitchen and DIY recipes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Castor Oil \u2013<\/strong> There is just a small amount of castor oil in this recipe. But it\u2019s important to help offset the harshness of the coconut oil. Castor oil is known for it\u2019s conditioning or how it adds moisture and supports lather. To prevent rancidity, we always look for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YhD2ci\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">organic castor oil<\/a> stored in a dark glass bottle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dish-soap-bars-curing-on-drying-rack.jpg\" alt=\"dish soap bars curing on drying rack\" class=\"wp-image-82827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dish-soap-bars-curing-on-drying-rack.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dish-soap-bars-curing-on-drying-rack-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dish-soap-bars-curing-on-drying-rack-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/dish-soap-bars-curing-on-drying-rack-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tallow \u2013<\/strong> Because tallow compliments skin so well, I like to add at least a small amount into all of our skin care recipes if I can. It also helps to add hardness and longevity to these bars of dish soap. <a href=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wet-rendering-tallow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This post<\/a> shares how we render it so that it is odorless for using in skin care products. If you\u2019d rather create a dish soap bar without the tallow, there\u2019s an alternative recipe below that uses only coconut oil and castor oil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3SeFBby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lye<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> Also known as sodium hydroxide or caustic soda, is essential in the soap making process. The reaction between the lye with the oils neutralizes the lye and turns the oils into a solid soap. That process is called saponification and makes the lye completely safe to use in soap once the soap has been cured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Water \u2013<\/strong> Lye is added to the water to make your lye-water solution. For best results, use filtered or distilled water because tap water or hard water can disturb the saponification reaction and lead to inconsistent results.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/poured-dish-soap-bars-in-soap-molds-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"poured dish soap bars in soap molds\" class=\"wp-image-82839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/poured-dish-soap-bars-in-soap-molds-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/poured-dish-soap-bars-in-soap-molds-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/poured-dish-soap-bars-in-soap-molds-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/poured-dish-soap-bars-in-soap-molds.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Essential Oils (optional) \u2013<\/strong> We like to add 15-20 drops of citrus oils to our dish soap bars.

Using a stick blender or immersion blender, blend them together until trace is reached. Trace is when the oils are emulsified in the water and no longer separated.

For most body soap or shampoo bars, a super fat of 5%-15% is normal to help give moisture and luxuriousness to the soap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in the case of these dish soap bars, the super fat is actually zero. This is because I wanted to make a bar where all of the oils were saponified by the lye into soap so there would not be residual oils that could leave residue on dishes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/best-dish-soap-bar-recipe.jpg\" alt=\"best dish soap bar recipe\" class=\"wp-image-82822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/best-dish-soap-bar-recipe.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/best-dish-soap-bar-recipe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/best-dish-soap-bar-recipe-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/best-dish-soap-bar-recipe-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long do they last?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We typically go through one solid homemade dish soap bar ever 2-3 weeks. This recipe makes 12 bars that are each 3-3.5 oz so making this homemade soap should last one family roughly 6 months. To store, keep in a cool, dark place. They will store fine for several months.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you use a dish soap bar?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took a bit of time to transition from using liquid soap from the grocery store to a solid dish soap bar. But once we got used to it, we really like it! The process is the same for hand washing dishes. Wet a clean sponge with warm water and then dab or rub with your soap bar. You will quickly notice lots of lather forming. Wash dishes as you normally would, cleaning with the soap and rinsing in hot water.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I try them before making them?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes!

If making soap bars, now is the time to slice into bars.<\/li>\n<li data-step-index=\"12\" id=\"mv_create_98_13\">Place soap bars on a dry rack or something similar in a well-ventilated, cool and dark area for 4 weeks to cure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-notes mv-create-notes-slot-v2\">\n<h3 class=\"mv-create-notes-title mv-create-title-secondary\">Notes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"mv-create-notes-content\">\n<p><p>Dish Soap Bar Recipe without Tallow<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>26.0 oz Coconut oil\u2028<br \/>1.5 oz Castor oil\u2028<br \/>10.45 oz Water\u2028<br \/>4.96 oz Lye (NaOH)<\/p>\n<p>Follow the same directions as the above recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-video\">\n<div class=\"mv-create-iframe\">\n\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XVVsIDKcqfM\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<footer class=\"mv-create-footer\">\n<div class=\"mv-create-footer-flexbox\">\n<div class=\"mv-create-copy\">&copy; Joelle Kurczodyna<\/div>\n<div class=\"mv-create-categories\"><\/div>\n<p>\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-735x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-pin-description=\"\" class=\"mv-create-pinterest no_pin ggnoads\" width=\"735\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-735x490.jpg 735w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar.jpg\">\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"mv-create-checklists\" data-creation-id=\"98\"><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pin it for later!<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-recipe.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85311\" style=\"width:650px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-recipe.png 1000w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-recipe-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-recipe-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/fromscratchfarmstead.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/homemade-dish-soap-bar-recipe-768x1152.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, I wanted to swap out store-bought dish soap for something homemade, natural, and ideally without the waste.
