ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- 1⁄2 cup dry milk
- 1⁄4 cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1⁄4 cup baking soda
- 2 tablespoons food-grade diatomaceous earth
- 1⁄2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 10 drops eucalyptus oil
- 10 drops tea tree oil
- 1⁄4 cup coconut oil
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- filtered water
directions
- Put oat meal in a food processor and grind until very fine. If you do not have a food processor, use a coffee grinder or other means to grind it as finely as possible.
- Add dry ingredients to powdered oatmeal: dry milk, corn starch, turmeric, baking soda, diatomaceous earth. Mix well.
- Add wet ingredients (except for water): apple cider vinegar, eucalyptus oil, tea tree oil, coconut oil, olive oil, honey. Mix well.
- Slowly add water until shampoo-like consistency. Start with 1/4 cup and add slowly. Test the consistency with your fingers as well as your eyes.
- Use on dog or people hair. For flea control, you may want to leave on for five minutes before rinsing off. Rinse thoroughly.
- Although none of the ingredients in this recipe need to be refrigerated, I do not know how their shelf life is when combined, so I refrigerate mine.
