After making dog bar soap and deeming it unconvenient(due to having to create a lather with my hands before transferring it to my large, not-short-coated rottie), I decided to try to make a liquid form. I wanted to buy pure castile soap online instead of making it from scratch. Then want to add my choice of essential oils and coconut oil and no extra water or vinegar cause 1) I don't want it to be runny and 2) I've read the vinegar makes the dog smell vinegary.
I searched everywhere for recipes and 1)there wasn't many
2)most of the recipes included Dr. Bonner's castile soap
3) they looked diluted to the point of being a sudsy, runny soap mixture.
I even looked at the ingredients on castile dog soaps for sale on Etsy but they are all in the foaming soap container things so I'm assuming those are runny also. And they did have alot of diluting ingredients in them.
I saw a video of a lady using straight Dr. Bonner's soap on her wet dog. So then I wondered to myself if Dr. Bonner's soap is diluted. I couldn't find an answer to that either.
So I guess my point in all this is, would it work to just use pure castile soap, coconut oil, and essential oils? Would it be too strong that way? Would the ph level be right?
