It’s quicker to use than bar soap and takes up less space on the kitchen counter around our farmhouse sink. And all those bubbles just make me feel like I’ve got all the kitchen germs covered.

Can you turn liquid soap into foaming soap?

You might be surprised to know that DIY foaming hand soap can be made from just about any liquid soap, water, and a foaming soap dispenser. But, like most things, not all liquid soap is created equal. Some reach for liquid dishwashing soap when making foaming hand soap. But, that type of soap can be hard on your hands and isn’t designed for simple hand-washing.

Instead, choose a soap that is gentle on the skin. Castile soap for example is a very gentle cleanser made with plant-based ingredients. I love that it is available in 32-ounce bottles, so I can refill our foaming hand soap dispensers for months without ever needing to buy another bottle.

And you can buy it already infused with essential oils in a scent you like. Lavender Castile soap is my favorite. But, I have tried several others such as citrus, eucalyptus, and almond. To find a scent you like, start with a variety pack of all 8 types of liquid Castile soap. You’ll be sure to find one perfect for your home!

What makes this foaming hand soap moisturizing?

With the simple addition of vegetable glycerin, this DIY foaming hand soap is extra moisturizing and creates a thicker foam too! If you didn’t know, vegetable glycerin attracts water to the skin and helps to maintain moisture. It’s what makes this soap feel so soft on the skin.

Instructions:

1. Prepare your foaming hand soap dispenser by rinsing out the container and the pump. Then wipe down the outside of the bottle. Did you know you make a foaming hand soap bottle using a standard 16-ounce mason jar with a pump lid like these?

2. Now, with your container prepped and ready to go add ¼ cup of lavender Castile soap or a scent of your choice. (Depending on the opening size of your soap dispenser, you may need a funnel.)

3. Next, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin to the Castile soap for a thicker foam and added moisturizer.

4. Last, top the bottle with filtered or distilled water. Then place the pump back on the bottle and shake gently to mix.

This homemade foaming hand soap always leaves our hands clean and soft with a light lavender scent. It’s the perfect touch after cleaning up the kitchen. And in such a pretty soap dispenser, it doesn’t create clutter or interfere with my farmhouse decor.
