We go through a lot of hand soap in our family. While foaming hand soap is expensive to buy in the store, it is very inexpensive and simple to make on your own. In addition to cost effectiveness and ease, you can control the ingredients to make certain they are free of chemical nasties. Finally, making your own hand soap allows you to customize the scent as well as make it as strong or as subtle as you like.
To make your own foaming hand soap, here is everything you’ll need:
- An empty foaming hand soap container
- Castile soap
- Vegetable glycerin
- Essential oils (I get mine HERE; you can read more about why and how I use these oils HERE)
- Water
For an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to combine these ingredients, please look at this recipe for DIY Foaming Hand Soap (recipe HERE).
