Servings: 13 ounces
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 oz distilled water
- 2 TBSP castile soap
- ½ tsp olive oil (or almond oil)
- ¼ -1/2 tsp essential oil (optional)
Instructions
- Fill the soap dispenser with water to within about 1 inch of the top. Be sure to leave room for the soap pump foamer.
- Add at least 2 tablespoons of liquid castile soap to the water mixture. NOTE: do not add the soap first or it will create bubbles when the water is added.
- Add the oil and any essential oils if you’re using them.
- Close and lightly swish to mix.
- Use as you would regular foaming hand soap.
Notes
- You’ll need a foaming soap dispenser for this soap. Either buy one online or reuse the bottle from a store-bought foaming soap.
- If you don’t have distilled water, you can also use filtered water that’s been boiled then cooled.
