DIY Foaming Hand Soap With Essential Oils
We love essential oil foaming hand soap, but not the price! If you want to know how to make your own homemade moisturizing soap with essential oils, then grab yourself a foaming soap dispenser or container and follow this easy DIY recipe. You’ll save money, stretch your soap further, and use simple, safe ingredients like Dr Bronners liquid castile soap.
We love using essential oil foaming hand soap, but we do not love buying it or the refills.
Because… 1) the price! 2) the sometimes unnatural ingredients and 3) the single use plastic containers. (Making our own means we can re-use the bottle!)
So I figured out how to make my own.
Benefit #1 is that you’ll save money over buying them. The essential oil foaming hand soap refills are pricey!
However, you’ll not only save money over buying the refill soap mixture for your dispensers, but foaming hand soap in general is a great alternative to bar soap or pumps of straight soap.
Why? You only use a tiny bit of soap in a foaming hand soap dispenser (it’s mostly water inside), and this allows your liquid soap to go way, way, way, way further. Like 20x further, if I was to guess!
Secondly, when switching to a natural lifestyle, many of us transitioned away from antibacterial soaps — which have been linked to antibiotic resistance and altered hormones.

Only natural ingredients? Yes, please!
As mentioned above, the other reason I love handmade soap, over store-bought foam soaps, is I don’t like discarding the single use plastic containers.
So — homemade foaming soap is less expensive, completely natural, and a better use of our resources!
Yes! Even the children can get involved. Such a simple recipe — only 4 ingredients — and a great task for them to do!
We have 3 dispensers — one at each sink — and refill them all at the same time.
Surprisingly, your soap can be truly good for you. Let’s look at the 4 easy ingredients:
Final tip: Be sure to leave a bit of room at the top for air! Without air, the pump can’t make foam and will just come out liquid. So be sure to leave a little room at the top.
That’s all! I keep my base soap under my kitchen sink. Then it’s easy to fill each bottle with water, base soap, a few drops of essential oil and a teeny bit of oil! Easy and fast.
I use this immune boosting essential oil blend — which has a wonderful wintry smell. No worries about toxicity while boosting your immune system, and you can adjust to suit (less or more essential oil depending on preference).
Other popular single essential oils for hand soap include peppermint, lavender, ylang ylang, jasmine, rosemary, tea tree, and lemongrass.
Need a foaming pump dispenser? Here’s a glass option for you — or you can repurpose a cheap one.
If you don’t have one already, you could buy a cheapo just to empty it out and fill it with good stuff.
And now for the recipe…
