Prep Time1 minute

Equipment

  • 1 foaming hand soap bottle

Materials

  • 1/8 cup Castile soap
  • water to top off, distilled water optional
  • essential oils optional
  • 1 tbsp vegetable glycerin optional

Instructions

  • Add 1/8 cup of Castile soap to your hand soap bottle.
  • Add 5 drops of your essential oil if you’d like to use them.
  • Top off bottle with water.
  • Add on foaming pump to the bottle.

Notes

Some recipes suggest boiling your water and letting it cool down before adding to your bottle. That is up to you. I personally do not boil my water first. We have well water which I am aware can also contain contaminates but we also have a filter on our holding tank that removes a lot of possible contaminates before the water comes out of our faucets in the house. You may also choose to use distilled water.
