    I want to make the sea salt shower gel, but the only hydrosol I have is rose, and I'd prefer to use neroli. Can I use distilled water and essential oil instead?

    Community Answer
    Castile soap is said to be great for sensitive skin since it contains no extra ingredients such as preservatives. Perhaps try making a small amount of the basic shower gel without any essential oils and try it on your skin. Everyone's skin is different but it should be mild enough.

    Airflow is likely drying up your shower gel by making the liquid contents evaporate. Keep your shower gel in a securely sealed container at room temperature when not in use.
