Witch hazel in a spray bottle
Equipment:
Plastic mixing bowl
Wooden or plastic spoon
Round mold, ice cube tray or small shape mold of your choice
Tissue paper

Instructions:
* Special note – Work quickly to mix ingredients so that mixture does not fizz.

- Combine baking soda and citric acid.
- Add olive oil.
- Add a few drops of essential oils for fragrance.
