DIY Liquid Detergent Recipe

Making your own liquid laundry detergent is a simple and sustainable way to keep your clothes clean and fresh without harmful chemicals. This recipe is suitable for both white and colored laundry, contains no harsh chemicals and is gentle on your skin and the environment. Castile soap is a gentle, natural soap based on vegetable oils (such as olive oil or coconut oil), and it is mild, biodegradable and free of synthetic additives.

Inspired by a popular “Leo nor” laundry freshener, the fragrance oil offers a harmonious combination of fruity, floral and fresh notes. The blend of ozonic freshness, juicy citrus and soft floral notes creates a pure and invigorating fragrance experience. The warm base of patchouli and vanilla adds a subtle, pleasing depth.
