Foam Pump Hand Soap Recipe

I started making theFoam Pump(KEXON) hand soap because I couldn’t find refills for my dispenser. The thought of buying a new plastic dispenser every time I need more soap did not sit well with me, especially since the spout uses so much plastic. Then, when I learned that Foam Pump hand soap is mostly water, I just felt like I was being ripped off!

To make Foam Pump had soap you need 3 ingredients:

Distilled water

Liquid castile soap

Essential oils to suit your needs and scent preferences

The best consistency for your soap can usually be achieved by mixing distilled water and castile soap in a 4:1 ratio. However, you may have to adjust based on the thickness of your castile soap. If you aren’t getting enough foam, add more water.

When I make foaming hand for the kitchen I like to use lavender essential oil because it is a deodorizer, which is a must for someone who chops as much garlic as I do, and a bactericide to help keep me safe when I’m handling food. Tea tree, eucalyptus and lemon essential oils are also good for their antibacterial properties. Lemon and other citrus essential oils like grapefruit and sweet orange are good for cutting grease.

In the bathroom, all you need is the soap, so you can add essential oils without worrying about their therapeutic properties, or you can use fragrance oils to mimic the scent of a favorite soap or invent your own scent. Try coconut ginger for something tropical and warm or lemon basil for a bright and uplifting scent. Cranberry orange would be fitting for Thanksgiving and a Holiday Spice soap made with nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and clove would be comforting and cozy in the winter.

Use essential and fragrance oils sparingly to avoid irritating sensitive skin. As a general rule don’t add more than 6 drops per ounce of liquid.Making your own foaming hand soap is easy, inexpensive and another great way to go green.
