This video is about how to make natural foam soap with essential oils.
I love to make natural foam soap! I use it in my bathrooms and kitchen, and even carry it in my bag. (Soaps in public restrooms can be irritating, so I like to use my own natural soap.) This recipe is antimicrobial, and it smells amazing. It's perfect for massage offices or yoga studios.
You can get foam soap pumps online. I buy from Aromatics International, which offers two sizes: 50 ml (just under 2 oz), and 250 ml (8 oz). I’m using the smaller container in this video.
To make this natural foam soap, you'll need:
About 1.5 oz (45 ml) Castile soap (1:30)
10 drops Lemon (Citrus limon) (2:02)
10 drops Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini var. motia) (2:38)
2 drops Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) (3:16)
Fill your foam soap bottle about 3/4 of the way with the castile soap. Then add your essential oils. You can use any essential oils you like, but I suggest sticking to about 25 drops per 1 oz (30 ml). I’m only using 22 drops in this blend.
At 4:19 you can see how rich and foamy this soap is!
Now you have a great recipe to work with, but I want to note that the number of drops of essential oil you add to your foam soap is really personal preference. I have added as little as 2 to 3 drops per oz (30 ml). Some people prefer to use water in their soap too, even making blends that are 2/3 water and 1/3 castile soap! If you'd like to use water, the amount you use is all up to you.
Since there's no preservative in this soap, I recommend making it fresh every few weeks.
I just got everything to make this recipe and it smells DIVINE! I didn't have any little pumps to try it. I'm SO in love!!
I love your videos. They are so relaxing and educational.
Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful feedback. We appreciate your support 💜
What a calming voice you have:)
Thanks so much for this video! I can't wait to try it.
What a wonderful video! Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe!
Thank you SO much - going to make some now! :)
Hi Andrea, I just started learning about making my own home products. There are so many tutorials on here by many people but yours is by far the best. You're organized, clean and intelligible. You also represent an aroma company which puts me at ease that I'm using the correct ingredients and measurements.
One question: Do you have a video on how to make BODY WASH?
Thank you so much for your amazing videos.

Great video. I want to use this technique but not to make a soap, I just want an easier and safer way to apply an essential oil without risking a drop in the eye or just applying too much.
What would I have to change?
Hi Edward! It's wonderful to hear that you are looking for information on how to use essential oils safely and easily. We have a free class that I think will be very helpful for answering these questions in the most direct way.

Hello Andrea, thank you for sharing this recipe! I have a question, how can I balance the ph of castile soap? Can essential oil lower the ph of castile soap? Do you think is it ok for dry hands? Please, could you give me any advice? Thank you! 🙂
Great question! As you know, Castile soap is a gentle all-vegetable based soap. Soap in general has a slightly alkaline pH. Typically to lower a pH of Castile Soap it is very difficult and takes some science to understand. Essential oils in this quantity wouldn't make a difference. However, adding a bit of carrier oil such as Jojoba or Avocado oil can be used if someone finds Castile soap drying for the skin. Skin types and soap preferences are so varied. We find it is very individual and that it is most effective to just try it to see how it feels and how your skin responds.
Hope this helps to provide some clarity 💜
@@aromatherapyoils Thank you very much for clarifying my question Andrea!, I am going to try adding some carrier oil as you have suggest me and I will share my results! 🙂......
I love your videos! Thxs Andrea!! 🧡
While skin is still damp, use a body oil (I make my own based on benefits I need) and you’ll retain the moisture you need. The only moisture our body absorbs is water. Oil keeps the water in our skin, since oil and water never mix. That’s the best way to add all the moisture and valuable nutrients back into your skin that you just stripped away. The same can go for scalp after shampooing. Can even add the oils into your conditioner for added boost. Oh and it’s best to never towel dry, if you can air dry after a shower, moisturize while you’re still damp and Pat dry any areas that may need the added assistance..you’ll be so pleased with your skin. Coming from someone who uses Castile soap and also gets super dry skin after using it.
Hi there again, I am looking for your segment on making hand sanitizer. I am pretty sure that we went over this once, but I did not write it down. I do remember that aloe vera was involved.
For hand santizers I like to use aloe vera gel from Aromatics:www.aromatics.com/products/aloe-vera-gel
You would then add 10-12 drops/ounce of aloe, shake well and apply to the hands and rub it in. Citrus oils are a great choice to help fight bacteria.
Hello Andrea, What is the stone of your countertop it is so pretty
It's silestone 😁
Hey Andrea! I have a 250ml bottle. Could you share how much essential oils and Castile soap for that size? Thank you 😀
Hi Tara Diana! For a 250ml (8oz) bottle I would suggest multiplying each of the ingredient by 5 to make about 7.5 oz
Thank you so much! I appreciate your reply.
I would love to hear back - let me know how it goes!!
Would the scent of this foam soap be too frou-frou smelling for a man to use?? My husband might not like the pomerosa and I'm wondering if I can use anything in its place and if do, what do you recommend and how many drops?
Thank you for all your videos, I enjoy all of them!
You might try one of these oils in place of the palmarosa:
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. camphor)
Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis)
Spike Lavender (Lavandula latifolia)
The drops could remain the same and it would give you a less flowery aroma and more herbal for your husband.
Where did you say that you get your little foam containers? And do you have a favorite bottle or a container company that you order from? Or do you guys sell it at your own website I forgot you gave it to me but I lost it.

Hi Andrea, I tried this recipe today, I'm loving it. I was so excited that I tried another blend of lemon, peppermint and rose geranium. I've notice that oil and soap mixture has started to clump. Is that a norma reaction?
Thanks Andrea, the castile soap I purchased was quite watered down and runny. I made my own liquid castile soap by grating a bar of castile soap in hot water and the consistency was great. I never got that clumpy reaction.
It could be from your castile soap. You might try making it yourself or l like Aromatics castile soap. here is that link

@@samanthaapolles3673 How much water did you add to the grated bar of soap?
How can bar soap be made in Large quantity for commercial what are the ingredients for bar soap and measurement s
Hi Samuel! We don't teach about making handcrafted soap at Aromahead Institute. You may find some helpful the resources to guide you here:
www.soapguild.org/
Hi Andrea, thanks for this wonderful video! You mention that it's important to use PET plastic. I've noticed that a number of hand and dish soap products containing EOs are packaged in HDPE plastic. Is that an acceptable material as well? Does it depend on EO concentration?
Hi Andrea! Thanks for this very informative article!
We are frequently asked whether or not it is safe to use plastic bottles and containers to hold essential oils. Undiluted essential oils should not be stored in plastic containers, as some properties in many essential oils will break down the plastic, which can destroy the oil and often cause leakage. However, since our plastic bottles and containers are made of the highest grade of plastic, essential oils can be stored in our plastic bottles and containers for several months if the oils are diluted with a carrier oil.

From where can i get castile soap .?
adhna watwani try here from Aromatics: www.aromatics.com/products/castile-soap
This looks awesome! I don't have Palmerosa, but I do have Ylang Ylang. Would that work as a substitute? How many drops should I use?
Oh okay I have Egyptian Geranium, I'll give that at try. Thanks!
Hey! So I just tried it out. I got a 18 oz glass bottle, filled it almost all the way with soap, added a little water, then my EOs. I wasn't sure how to multiply the drops so I just did a "guestimate" and did 15 drops lemon, 3 drops Geranium, and 3 drops Peppermint. I loved the foam that came out, it really cleaned my hands but I'm not sure about the scent. When I smell my hands I smell more of the Geranium, but when I open the bottle I smell more lemon. Should I add more drops or stick with what I have? Not sure but I will use the rest then try your next soap recipe with the Aloe vera, Lime and Orange since I love citrus EOs (maybe even add grapefruit too)!
Great idea! I went to do that this morning, and didn't realize after I had put 10 drops in (after doing a drop at a time then sniffing), that I had grabbed Bergamot accidentally instead of my Lemon, LOL. Anyway it smells a lot better! Thanks so much for your help, and I can't wait to try your next soap recipe!
You could use ylang ylang but geranium would be a closer match to the scent of the palmarosa.
Wondering where you get the ingredients? Castile liquid soap? Do you make that yourself?
I would also like to know your source for the Castile liquid soap. Thanks!
Thanks!
You can make your own Castile soap. The most popular brand Is dr. Bronner's, there's one a little bit more expensive than dr. Bonner's it starts with B I just can't think of the name of it right now and then there's one call Ocology and Mountain Rose Herbs also carries their version of a Castile soap and they have good natural organic products. A lot of people really like dr. Bonner's if I didn't get that one try Mountain Rose Herbs. And then again you could always make your own😊
You can find castile soap here:www.aromatics.com/products/castile-soap

Is it possible to add a carrier oil to the foam soap for moisture? If so, how much?
Yes Magdalena Frettlohr!! About 1/4 oz (7.5 ml) of any carrier oil you love would be a fantastic addition.
Aromahead Institute thank you for replying so quickly!😊
@@MaggieFrett Let us know how that goes!
Hello Andrea, What brand is that big gallon of Castile soap you are using. The one I brought is not creating the foam that I had hoped for. Thanks
Cookie's Corner here's the Castile soap I am using: www.aromatics.com/products/castile-soap
For the larger gallon size you can contact Aromatics support by email at: team@aromatics.com
Hi andrea, can you please share your essential oil product name?
Hi Mani!
There are many wonderful companies. We like to recommend buying from companies that import directly from the distillers, that test every batch of oil with GC/MS, and that share the batch specific GC/MS reports with their customers. This ensures quality and demonstrates accountability. Here are a few we can recommend: Aromatics International - www.aromatics.com/Essential Elements - essentialelementsstore.com/Pompeii Organics - www.pompeiiorganics.com/Florihana (US) www.florihana-us.com/Florihana (Europe) - www.florihana.com/en/Aliksir (Canada) - www.aliksir.com/
Here's a blog post for more information about GC/MS testing: blog.aromahead.com/2009/12/04/essential-oil-industry-standards-aromatics-international-supports-gcms-testing
Hope this helps guide you!
I would like to know why you do not add water? Most all recipes I have seen have water added then a small amount of soap. I am sure your recipe would be great with so much Castile and the essential oil however!
You certainly can add water to the castile. I might suggest using distilled water so that you can avoid inviting any unwanted microbes.
Aromahead Institute thanks for the recipe so where do You go to purchase the gallon size Castile soap?
I am wondering about the lemon eo in this recipe. Since it is phototoxic, might it not cause problems if you used it and then went outside in the sun?
***** That is great to know! This is a continual learning process and I have so much to learn! Thanks for the great information you make available!
Great question, grammawamma! You do need to be caution with some citrus oils. In this recipe the number of drops used with the lemon is below the level of concern for a phototoxic reaction and because this is a wash-a-way product the amount of time the oils are on the skin is minimal and much of that is washed away.
Do you have any foaming hand sanitizer recipes?
Pizza is forever, most of my hand santizer recipes are made with aloe vera gel and this doesn't foam so well.
Does the container need be glass? Al be using it as a face wash bottle.
Xdd Rfg glass is always ideal, however however, you can use plastic when you’re blending essential oils into a carrier oil, water, or gel (like this foam soap). We recommend using PET plastic, which is Polyethylene terephthalate plastic. PET plastic is known to be non-reactive and doesn’t leach.
What preservatives should we use to extend shell life
Andrea Butje Ok Thanks
Is there any alternative to extend shell life of eo
Honestly, I prefer to make small batches so that I don't have to use preservatives.
If I make this recipe, what is a good substitute for the peppermint, since I have small children?
Thank you, Andrea!
You could use either one of these oils in place of the peppermint: Bergamot Mint (Mentha citrata) or
Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)
which percentage of essential oils would you use in a home made shampoo?
I would use a 1-2% dilution in home made shampoo, remi ponsonnet. This means for every one ounce of shampoo you could use 5-12 drops of essential oil.
Hi Andrea I've made similar recipes for body wash but I add some almond oil to make it moisturising. The only complaint I have is it smells to soapy and u can hardly smell my eo's! I asked a woman who does handmade soap and she suggested using a 2% eo to soap and oil but my scales aren't sensitive enough to weigh the eo! Do you have any tips to make it less soapy and more ylang ylangy! 😂 😂 😂
Andrea Butje thanks Andrea, I've tried it with water before and that was even weaker! I bought new castile soap that I've not tried yet but I'll check out the one you recommended as well! xx
Kirsty Macfarlane, I might suggest trying the castile soap from Aromatics.comwww.aromatics.com/products/castile-soap
The essential oils come right through and there is no soapy smell at all.
💙💙💙💙💙
Doesn't the lemon eo break down the plastic container?
It doesn't as these containers are PET plastic. We are frequently asked whether or not it is safe to use plastic bottles and containers to hold essential oils. Undiluted essential oils should not be stored in plastic containers, as some properties in many essential oils will break down the plastic, which can destroy the oil and often cause leakage.
