That sounds good – you don’t even need to use that much castille soap though… try this recipe and use an aerating pump bottle! http://www.purenaturaldiva.com/2009/08/foaming-hand-soap-recipe/

I use Dr. Bronner’s in all of our hand wash foaming pump bottles. I do a little less then half of the bottle with soap and then the other half water. Make sure to mix it well (don’t shake) and voila instant hand soap. I have my brothers and parents hooked on it as well. I have ecxema and use the bar soap for my skin. The lavender scented is really nice, but you can get the mild unscented add your own essential oils to it. I find that some of the scents are a little overpowering even diluted. In other words we are huge [Dr. Bronner's] castille soap fans.

Traditional Castille Soap is made with Olive Oil. Although the mainstream brands of Castille Oil do use coconut oil.
I choose Castille Soap for it’s lack of toxicity and purity. It is the base of many homemade products I make for our family – at a significantly reduced eco impact over purchasing conventional or Eco friendly brands.
I use Dr. Bronners – which is certified fair trade and has this to say in response to your concerns.
If you have a readily available alternative – I’d love to try it! I’m all about learning and trying new things!

Palm Oil plantations are a leading cause of tropical deforestation in South East Asia, causing widespread ecological destruction, and rapidly leading towards the extinction of many species, including orangutans. If you're concerned about the environment, you shouldn't even dream of using products containing palm oil.Green is a superb wildlife documentary on the subject - you can it watch online. If you don't have 48 minutes to spare to see the film, this Greenpeace website is one of many with more information on the environmental disaster that demand for palm oil is causing.

I love castile soap too. It’s not as drying on our winter skin.

I use castille soap often as a body wash. I like the laundry detergent idea.
