DIY Foaming Hand Soap

For years I’ve been making this DIY foaming hand soap. I love it because it’s inexpensive, natural, and easy to make. All it takes is some liquid castile soap, (my favorite is this scent of Dr. Bronner’s) and water. I have some foaming dispensers like this but for a long time I just reused some old ones from the dollar store foaming soap and they work just as well.

It works out to be less than a dollar a bottle depending on how much you use, which is way less than any other natural hand soaps I’ve been able to find in the store. You can add more or less castile soap depending on how concentrated you’d like your hand soap, and you can even add your favorite essential oils or moisturizing oils.

Here’s the recipe!
