Homemade Foaming Hand Soap
A simple, natural foaming hand soap made with liquid castile soap, water, and optional essential oils for scent and moisturizing properties.
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup distilled water distilled is best to prevent impurities, but boiled and cooled would be ok
- 2 tablespoon liquid castile soap or your favourite natural liquid soap; thinner is better
- 5-8 drops essential oil optional; not necessary if using a scented soap
- ½ teaspoon moisturizing oil optional; vitamin E, almond oil, or fractionated coconut oil
Instructions
- Fill your soap dispenser with water.
- Add castile soap to fill the rest of the bottle, leaving some room at the top for the pump to fit.
- Add essential oils and moisturizing oil, if using.
- Cover dispenser with pump and shake to combine the oils and soap with the water.
Notes
The measurements really don't have to be exact, but use this as a guideline if your dispenser is not 8oz like mine: 60-70% water and 20% soap, leaving the rest of the space for the pump to fit without the liquid spilling over.
