Herbal Cleaning Powder Blend
My skincare routine is one of healing, a daily reminder to receive care and compassion; and I’m cleaning my bathroom (and the planet) that way, too!
My bathroom sink is a hub for herbal oils.
From cleansing oil to infused aloe vera gel to a salve and a few hydrosols in-between, my nightly skincare routine of 7-9 steps can leave quite a buildup. And, somewhere in the middle of all this is a ritual I cherish: filling the sink with warm water, soaking a washcloth, and indulging in a luxurious steam treatment for my face. It’s a moment of pure bliss.
Yes, this skincare routine might seem excessive, but trust me, it only take a few minutes, and it has a serious ripple effect on my skin health and overall well-being.
And, cleaning my sink echoes the same sentiment.
With my natural bathroom cleaning kit, a 3-minute cleanup becomes a mindful act of joy.
One essential item? This gentle herbal cleaning powder. A naturally derived, nontoxic, and biodegradable cleaning product made sustainably, aligning with my herbal skincare routine!
Cleaning healthy and making my own products from scratch was what started my entire journey toward mindful living.

Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of washing soda
1/2 cup of baking soda
2 teaspoons of citric acid
1/2 cup of dried herb (I like dried wild thyme, rosemary, and peppermint)
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a jar or bowl, and seal or transfer into a sealable jar.
To use: Sprinkle on surface, add a bit of water, and scrub with a compostable brush or rag. If the porcelain sink or tub is extra grimy, let sit for up to 10 minutes. Then, scrub, rinse, and wipe clean.
