Tips & Warnings
You can purchase all of the ingredients needed to make tomato and lemon body through a health food store or online specialty retailer. If a health food store in your area does not have glycerin soap, most drugstores will carry it.
If the soap is too harsh for your skin, replace half of the lemon essential oil with rosemary and lavender essential oil.
Avoid mixing or storing any type of homemade skin care product in an aluminum container, as there is serious concern about heavy metals entering the body through the pores.
