Foaming Hand Soap – Recipe
By Tania Reuben
This is so easy and inexpensive – Everyone can do it!
The first thing you need is an aerating dispenser bottle. I got mine by re-using another brands container, method makes one and mine was from be well.
Vanilla Orange Foaming Hand Soap
1 1/4 cup of water
2 TBS of Castille Soap – For this recipe I used the Citrus. If you want to make a your own scent use unscented.
1/2 TSP of Olive Oil
3-5 drops of Vanilla Essential Oil
4-6 drops of Citrus Essential Oil
Combine the ingredients and in a measuring cup and use a funnel to pour into the dispenser. Soap will will dispense in an nice foaming lather… and if you kids use the whole bottle in 3 days, you won’t be furious!

What is the olive oil for? Won’t that work against the action of the soap? Not trying to be confrontational, just curious. Thanks! Katie

I found it a little drying without any oils in it, you can use an oil of your choosing… it’s a small amount. Still foams up perfectly.

We have to be so careful about what we use on our son’s skin that had the Eczema. His Vidazorb probiotics have made a huge difference but we know that his skin is very sensitive. besides- it’s gotta be cheaper just to make our own right! Thanks, tweeted ya!Lynn

For soap, you are better to use the lowest grade Olive oil you can find, this being Pomace Olive oil, alternatively use either Sunflower or Safflower oil.If you have Eczema, you’ll find that using (just) a small amount of Avocado will make a big difference too.MJ
