DIY Foaming Hand Soap

Today I want to share how you can make your own foaming hand soap at home. I like using foaming soap with the little ones because they like to wash their hands with it and I can use less soap and save money.

The only real investment is in your soap dispenser. I purchased mine at Kohl’s in the clearance section for $1.99 each. The Dollar stores will have them every once in a while and they already have soap in them so that is a real bonus.

1. Depending on how foamy you want your soap, adjust the amount up for down. I use five (5) pumps from a hand soap dispenser (it’s about 2 tablespoons).

2. Fill the container with cold water –slowly so you don’t end up with a bubble factory.

3. Leave about an inch at the top of the container. Gently stir or jiggle to mix – GENTLY being the operative word!

4. Replace top and away you go! You could add other things such as scent or oils to the mix but I usually purchase a nicely scented hand soap bottle for a buck at the store and it lasts for months!

The only “downside” to having the foaming hand soap… the little ones, especially the boys want to wash their hands all the time! LOL
