I started making my own foaming hand soap when I began adopting a more natural lifestyle. With concerns about antibacterial ingredients in many commercial soaps and having kids who constantly wash their hands, arms, and the counter, I needed a healthier and more budget-friendly option.
Luckily, there’s a natural, homemade, and incredibly easy recipe that works just as well and doesn’t cost $3.59 per bottle like the store-bought foaming versions. The recipe is so simple that I now have my six-year-old refill the bottles, and it takes just seconds to prepare. I always keep the few simple ingredients on hand, so we never need to buy hand soap or worry about running out. Surprisingly, this foaming soap also doubles as a decent shaving cream in the shower.
Before you begin, you’ll need a foaming hand soap container. I initially bought a fancy but expensive foam dispenser online before realizing there was a more economical option. You can purchase a bottle of foaming hand soap, pour it out if it’s not natural, and then reuse the container after the soap is gone.
