In light of our dedication to caring for creation, we have done some research and compiled a few resources in regards to making your own hygiene and cleaning products! Many commercial products contain wasteful packaging and chemicals that are hazardous for both our bodies and the environment.
As always, if you have a recipe of your own, please let us know about it! Email clarissa@graceseedsministry.org.

*It is important to note that the safety of Borax is questionable. Most of the time it’s not a problem unless ingested, but you need to be careful with it! Do your own research on this and make the decision that’s best for you and your family!
