One of my favorite summer rituals is heralding the arrival of lavender season with a childlike glee. Since we’re lucky enough to live close to a few lavender farms, I make a point to visit during their blooming season from June to September.
Standing in a lavender field – watching the rolling waves of purple blooms sway in the breeze, their scent perfuming the air – it’s hard not to imagine oneself in Provence, peaking out from your straw hat to take in the countryside. While I wait wistfully for the days when I can purchase that plane ticket to the south of France, I’ll be making every DIY lavender project I can get my hands on.
Since lavender lends itself so well to natural beauty, I thought I’d channel my inner perfumer and try my hand at some DIY lavender hand soap. After all, while I may not be able to gaze out my kitchen window and seeing the rolling hills of Provence, I’m a firm believer that my kitchen can still smell like I can.
From a practical point of view, one of the things I like best about this recipe is its simplicity. Four ingredients are all you need – most of which you probably have at home. If you’re like me and you often run out of hand soap at the most inopportune times – say when company is coming, or you’ve just come in from the garden – then you’ll want to pin this for later.

2. Castile Honey Homemade Hand Soap
Honey is a natural humectant, attracting moisture from the air, and the almond oil nicely counteracts the drying effects of the soap. The result is a wonderful foaming hand soap, which clearly makes hand washing more fun (yes, that includes the kids!)

3. Green Tea, Lemongrass + Ginger Liquid Hand Soap
A germ-fighting hand soap is the first step towards keeping colds and the flu at a distance. We’re always making this recipe come fall – it’s packed with antiseptic essential oils! The combination of lemongrass, ginger, and green tea smells lovely and fresh, and the sweet almond oil prevents your skin from drying.
