How to make foaming hand soap with a simple DIY recipe and tutorial.
A couple of years ago, I started making homemade foaming hand soap. I shared a tutorial for Peppermint Foaming Hand Soap here.
Today we’re going to make a plain version using any essential oil you’d like (or you can also leave it unscented if you’d prefer).
All Natural Hand Soap
We don’t buy hand soap with antibacterial ingredients, and we go through a lot of soap with seven people in our family.
Making your own foaming hand soap is a simple and frugal healthy soap option.
You get all the benefits of foaming hand soap with natural ingredients, but you’ll save a ton of money over buying natural soap at the store.
One of the things I love about this tutorial is that it’s so incredibly easy! This is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever find.
I also love that the final product is all natural and safe to use with just 3 ingredients.

DIY Foaming Hand Soap Ingredients
As I mentioned above, there are just three simple ingredients in this recipe.
- water
- Castile Soap
- essential oil of your choice (I used lavender)
You’ll also need a foaming soap dispenser—get one here.

How to Make Foaming Hand Soap
This is one of the simplest DIY projects ever, and it doesn’t really require a lot of instruction.
All you do is mix everything together in the foaming soap dispenser! Here are the simple instructions.
- Fill soap dispenser about 2/3 full with water (don’t overfill!).
- Add Castile soap in last 1/3 of bottle (no need to measure, just add some soap to top off the dispenser) but make sure not to get it too full.
- Add about 10-20 drops essential oil (I used about 10 drops of lavender).
- Put the lid back on the soap dispenser bottle, give it a shake, and it’s ready to use!
Wasn’t that easy?

Do you have a diy recipe for sanitizer and a hand sanitizer mam and a diy recipe for body wash for oily skin to sensitive skin
I have this hand sanitizer recipe, but it’s more like a traditional hand sanitizer (made with alcohol). I haven’t tried a body wash recipe yet.
I’ve pinned for making my own, thanks!!
Love the idea, but the soap will need to be shaken for each use because of the lavendar EO, correct?
We use this soap at our bathroom sink, and we don’t shake it before each use. I usually just shake it when I mix it up the first time, and after that I don’t worry about it. 🙂
Great post! Thanks for sharing!
