EASY Foaming Hand Soap with Essential Oils

Welcome to my DIY on making EASY foaming hand soap using Castile soap and essential oils.
This is a simple and cost-effective method of soapmaking that will leave your hands feeling clean, soft, and refreshed.

Start by gathering a foaming soap dispenser and your soapmaking ingredients including castille soap, clean water, and essential oils of your choice.
Once I’ve gathered everything I need, I carefully mix the soap and oils in the dispenser. Then I slooowwlly add the water. Next, I use a wooden dowel (a skewer from my kitchen) and gently stir blending the soap, essential oils, and water. Put the nozzle on and tighten, then, tip the bottle upside down and gently swirl so that the Castille soap at the bottom of the dispenser dissolves into the water.
Be sure you use an air pump with a foam dispenser to create the foaming action!
Not only is this homemade hand soap easy to make, but it’s also cost-effective and better for the environment.
BONUS! Creating this hand soap also allows you to customize the scent to your preference. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and hello to a natural and effective hand-washing solution. See my suggested blends below.

I love this recipe. I have a very strong sense of smell and find most scented soaps and foams to be overpowering. I don’t “notice” the scent from this when using it. But it is there and quite pleasing. It’s nice to wash my hands and not feel like I’m using an air freshener for soap.

I need to do this, my kids burn through soap and it would be nice to have something that I know I am not allergic to.
