"Saltwater Suds"
Homemade Soap Recipe

Try this homemade soap recipe if you're looking for a soap that lathers in salt water. Of course....soap doesn't actually need to lather in order to work but for some reason we all seem to prefer it.

This soap is a great choice for those seaside camping trips where fresh water is at a premium. No fragrance, no colour...just pure and natural goodness.
