DIY Foaming Hand Soap

I started making my own foaming hand soap pretty


early in my switch to a more natural lifestyle. With
concerns over antibacterial ingredients in many hand
soaps and potty-training little ones who found the
need to wash their hands/arms/the counter with soap
a thousand times a day, I needed a healthy and
frugal option.

Thankfully, there is a natural, homemade and


incredibly simple option that works just as well and
doesn’t cost $3.59 a bottle like the foaming versions
at the store.

The recipe itself is literally so simple that I now


have my six year old refill the bottles and it takes
just seconds to make. I keep the few simple ingredients on hand and we never have to buy hand soap or worry
about running out…Surprisingly, this foaming version also makes a decent shaving cream in the shower…

Before you begin, you’ll need a foaming hand soap container. I originally ordered this pretty but pricey foam
dispenser online before I realized that  there was a much more frugal and inexpensive option: Household
Traditions sells an organic foaming hand soap (in a dispenser) for much less than the fancy version and the
container can be re-used after the soap is used up. You’ll get a bottle of soap to begin with and a free container
at the end…

Once you’ve procured a foaming dispenser of some kind… here is the (incredibly simple) recipe:

DIY Foaming Hand Soap Prep time: 1 min Total time: 1 min

Incredibly simple, natural and frugal homemade foaming hand soap that cleans without chemicals or
antibacterial agents.
Author: Wellness Mama
Recipe type: Household
Ingredients
 Water (distilled or boiled is best but not needed if it will be used within a few weeks)
 Liquid Castille Soap (I love this organic rose soap since it provides a light natural scent but Mountain
Rose Herbs also sells a inexpensive unscented organic version)
 ½ tsp liquid oil like olive or almond
 Essential oils of choice for scent (optional)

Instructions
1. Fill the soap dispenser to about 1 inch of the top (leaving room for the bulky foaming pump and the
soap to be added).
2. Add at least 2 tablespoons of liquid castille soap to the water mixture (NOTE: do not add the soap first
or it will create bubbles when the water is added.
3. Add the oil (optional but it helps preserve the life of the dispenser) and any essential oils if you are
using them.
4. Close and lightly swish to mix.
5. Use as you would any regular foaming soap.

Do you make your own soap already? If not… will you start now?
