Homemade Foaming Hand Soap

March 23, 2011 By Emily McClements
Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

We all need to wash our hands, for a variety of reasons, throughout the day.  Making your own foaming hand soap is a quick, easy and frugal way to have safe and green hand soap, and avoid antibacterial soap containing triclosan.

Making your own foaming handsoap is so easy that I almost feel funny writing a post just about that, but I know there are a lot of you that are interested in using castile soap for your hand soap, so I wanted to share a quick and specific post about it.

Homemade Foaming Hand Soap

Supplies:

  • Foaming Soap Dispenser – I bought Method foaming soap from Target once and have just been using the same bottle to make my homemade version.  I think you can also buy foaming soap dispensers at places like Bed, Bath and Beyond, or online.
  • Liquid Castile Soap – any scent or brand is fine.  Because it is so diluted, the scent does not really matter very much. I usually use Dr. Bronner’s Uncscented Baby Mild, just because that’s usually the biggest bottle I have on hand.             5/11 Update:  Lately I’ve been using Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint castile soap and love the light, clean scent that it has.
  • Water

1. Fill up your bottle almost all the way with water.  You want to add the water first because if you add the soap first it will all bubble up and spill out as you fill it with water.

2. Add 1 +/- Tablespoon of castile soap to the bottle, put the pump on and shake it gently to incorporate the soap.  You may want to adjust the amount of soap based on the type of water you have, and your needs.  If you use too little soap, it will seem hard to spread around on your hands as you wash them.  If you use too much soap, it will feel too slippery and hard to rinse off.

I estimate that this costs about 20 cents for one bottle of foaming soap, depending on the cost of your castile soap and how much you use.  One bottle will last for a while, unless your kids get into it and go crazy squirting it and rubbing it all over their hands (and body)!  Kids love this stuff!

That’s it, it’s really that easy! You can’t beat this for easy, frugal, and green hand soap!

Here are lots of other great uses for castile soap!

P.S. See that empty jar next to the jar with the q-tips in the top picture?  It used to hold cotton balls, but I decided I wanted to find a reusable alternative to buying cotton balls.  So, I’ve been knitting my own cotton “balls”.  Stay tuned for a post about that! Now if I could only figure out an alternative to q-tips?!

    I am so so SO glad that you posted this. That isn’t because I’ve never heard of this before, but because I’m doing it WRONG! HELP!

    I’ve made my own foaming hand soap with regular non-antibacterial soap and it works great. However, when I tried to use Dr. Bronner’s it was awful! The soap kept settling to the bottom of the bottle. Eventually, the water turned yellow & the “soap” left my hands smelling like a dirty dish rag!

    What was I doing wrong?? I was using Dr. Bronner’s peppermint soap. Does that make a difference?

      March 24, 2011 at 11:08 pm

      Hmmm, I don’t know Rebekah. I’ve never had that problem. I guess it could be the essential oil in the soap, but I used to use the rose scented Dr. Bronner’s and never had a problem. I wonder also if it might be your water? Do you have well water, or really hard, or soft, water? I don’t know, I’m hoping maybe someone else can chime in with a better answer.
      But, if you’ve been having success making your own with regular soap, I say stick with what works, ya know! 🙂

        I do have hard water. Maybe that is the problem.

        After trying to use Dr. Bronner’s twice, I’ve given up. Now I just need to figure out what to use my castile soap for. Perhaps a green blogger that I know could do a post with some suggestions for me. *wink-wink*

          I don’t blog, but sometimes I’m green…

          I have found Dr. Bronner’s to be hard on my hands, and on my son’s butt, so we don’t use it for skin anymore, but I use it for general cleaning (toilet, tub, sink). I just sprinkle some baking soda, a couple drops (or squirts if it is pretty dirty) and give a little scrub. It cuts the grease well, and I don’t have to worry about bad residue.

          Ironically, Mrs. Meyer’s hand dishwashing soap doesn’t bother my hands, so we use that in our foaming soap dispensers and I haven’t had any problems. In fact, it is lavendarlicious 🙂

          Hope that helps!

      I had the same problem with the soap leaving my hands smelling bad… Until I tried a slight variation of the “soap recipe”. Now I start by adding about 10 drops of Thieves essential oil (I believe this also makes the soap antibactierial) to 1tsp of baking soda, then I pour that into my soap dispenser and add warm water until it’s about 2/3 full, stir or shake until all the baking soda is disolved & then add about 1 oz of Dr. Bronner’s pure Castile soap (I use pepperment usually) & then stir gently (don’t shake or it will foam up alot). So far this has worked for me & now my soap leaves my hands smelling fresh! 🙂 Hope this helps!

    Hey I do this! I occationally add olive oil too for a little moisture. I use this as body wash for my son and I because my clawfoot tub is close to the sink and its easy to grab 🙂 One bottle lasts me like 6 months. I think I’ve actually only filled it twice since moving back home last october and the second time was only a few weeks ago.

      Hi Lori,

      Does it work to just put the olive oil in with the soap and water? Don’t the water and oil separate? I just had a friend ask me last night about adding oil to make it more moisturizing and I wasn’t sure.

      • Lori says

        April 26, 2011 at 2:01 pm

        The plain dr bronners makes my hands a bit dry so the oil really does help with that. I have a bad habit of adding the soap and oil before the water so it bubbles all up and I have to wait for it to go down then finish filling it later so maybe that is why is doesn’t separate.

            Oops! I just saw your question. I have been so bad at checking my e-mails. I don’t measure anything but I would say I don’t use more that a tablespoon. I had a pretty small dial foaming container that I had dumped to make it in, until my sister-in-law threw it away cause she thought it really was dial hand soap that her mom bought haha. So I need to make some more so maybe I will measure it all out this time.

            No problem Lori, thanks so much for coming back and answering. I tried a little almond oil in my soap because I already had that in the bathroom and I did feel like it made the soap softer and more moisturizing on my hands. Thanks again for the tip!

    Hi Emily! Question for you–Has this been causing any problems with your sink? My sink has gotten clogged up twice now and I’m fairly sure its from the Bronners. Its the only sink I’m having trouble with and its the only sink I use the Bronners at. Also, when my FIL got out the clog, it was gray slimy stuff, which I think must be some kind of build up from the soap. The first time I thought it was a fluke, but the second time, I figured I needed to stop using it. I’m curious if any one else has had any problems with this.
    Thanks!!

      Hi Kate!
      Hmmm, that’s an interesting question. Our sink has gotten kind of clogged and backed up, but we’d been having problems with lots of our plumbing for a while and thought it was all because we had roots in our pipes. We just had Roter Rooter come out two weeks ago, so we got that part fixed, now I’ll have to pay attention and see if our sink keeps clogging up, and if it could be from the soap. I didn’t even think of that. I’ll watch it over the next few weeks and let you know.

      I will say that I have been using castile soap (Dr. Bronners) as body soap for the two years that we’ve been living in this house and have never had problems with the drain in our bathtub. So, the only thing I can think of is that the castile soap must just react different depending on what kind of water you have.

      Sorry I can’t be more helpful. If you stop using the castile soap and your sink stops clogging, then I guess you’ll have your answer! Stop back and let me know! 🙂

      See my post below, I have hard water and avoid “real” soap at my sinks. In my shower I don’t seem to have a problem, but maybe that’s because the drain is bigger. Anyway, I make foaming soap with Oliva Care All-Natural hand soap, I usually find it at TJMaxx or Homegoods, for about $5 for 20oz. I use a 2 parts water to 1 part soap mix.

      we just learned how to make foaming soap a couple months ago with regular dish soap and we really like it. I use a glass jar with a tight fitting lid to mix the soap in (a pickle jar should do the trick) and mix 1 part dish soap (we love palmolive with the lavender scent) to 5 or 6 parts water. We have some dial foam soap dispensers i have been refilling and if you are using a 1/4 measuring cup for each “part,” you can fill 2 dial soap containers about 3/4 full. Easy, cheap, very nice smell, and washes off nicely. Good luck 🙂

    I’ve never had luck with making my own foaming soap, sadly. We don’t have a dishwasher, so I swear by Dawn Direct Foam — which is sad, because it’s expensive! But it’s worth it to me; I really do love it.

    I recently began using family cloth and have employed some of the wipes for makeup-removing purposes. It’s great! No more cotton balls/pads for me. But I, too, wish I could find a good alternative to qtips. I haven’t thought of anything yet. 🙂

    PS: These are the cloths I bought, in case anyone’s interested:

      i would think you could do the same thing with your dishsoap. i usually use regular hand soap and water in my dial foaming soap dispenser. my ‘recipe’ is 3 tbsp of soap and 2/3 cup warm water.(stir, don’t shake!) i would keep one of your used dispensers and try it, of course you’d need to multiply the recipe! i’m sure a bottle of regular dawn would be cheaper and last quite a while longer than one of the direct foam would!

      The brand name Q-Tips are compostable. I’m a recycle/reuse fanatic and was thrilled to learn this. If you are looking for a way to make them, to not have to pay so much to purchase them, this does not help. But if you care about their end of life footprint, they will compost because they are only paper and cotton. I learned this from Q-tips via Recyclebank.com – a wonderful resource for anyone who can use cool rewards for furthering their recycling knowledge. Cheers!

    I make my own foaming soap, but not with castille because I have hard water and makes a mess of my sink. I scour stores like TJMaxx for Olivia Care liquid hand soap and mix it in my pumps at a ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part soap. My cost is about 50cents per fill-up. I used this same mixture for my homemade baby wipes, saved tons of money.

        I used the Olivia Care soap or you can use the hand soap from Trader Joe’s, both are sulfate and paraben free all natural soaps. I would then fill a 16oz bottle with water and then add a couple of pumps of soap and a drop or two of glycerin. I bought cotton baby wipes from an online store, but you could probably use flannel squares or any thin wash cloths. I would fold the cloth baby wipes in half and put them in old baby wipe container and then pour about half the soap mixture over cloths. They can be washed with cloth diapers. HTH!

          Nancy, does this work well for … uh… poop smears? The thought of washing that is nasty to me… LOL We still use disposables. My son has a medical condition and with how often we go through diapers I cannot imagine…though I have thought about it lots. I’m really hoping we can potty train him soon though medically, that’s iffy. So who knows. So basically, lots of pooping going on over here all day long. Are homemade washable wipes feasible? Is washing them in a normal washer gross? I mean will that contaminate other clothes later on or do I need to super clean the washer between?

            I’d have to say no, this would not be a good idea in your situation. I used mine along with cloth diapers, so they all got washed together and never mixed with other clothing. You could still save money and do the same thing with paper towels, but the might be a bit rough on kiddo’s bottom. Sorry 🙁

      Hi valleygirl,
      I’m not sure what you’re asking about does it clean well. It is soap, and it will clean dirt and germs off your hands, or whatever else you may be washing. When washing your hands the most important thing is scrubbing and washing and rinsing, that’s what really works to clean your hands. I think sometimes we get caught up in the marketing or advertising of products and start to believe that’s the only thing that will work, or that homemade alternatives won’t work. But I can tell you, I have two little ones who love to play outside and get dirty and it definitely works to get them nice and clean! Hope it works well for you!

    I am a new follower, but I have been making my own foaming hand soap with Dr. Bronner’s for a while now. I just bought cheap foaming soap at Meijer and scrubbed off the label. I like to fill it with part Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint and part Dr. Bronner’s Lavender castile soap and plenty of water. Then I give it a shake and it’s good to go. This combination smells great! My husband, kids, and I all use it in the shower too (in just a regular pump). The boys use peppermint or eucalyptus and my daughter and I mix rose and lavender. The three bottles I purchased (all on sale at my health food store), should last us over a year. I also use the peppermint in a spray bottle mixed with water for general cleaning. Awesome stuff– I will never go back to regular products again, no matter how many coupons I find!!

    It’s fine if you think you want to save a few bucks buy watering down your store bought soap, but you are still using soap that will dry out your hands. You need to buy some “true” soap, something that is handmade with oils. Try this Foaming Hand Soap After you use it you wont even need lotion anymore.

    I have been trying to make foaming hand soap with Dr. Brommer’s liquid castile soap. I added fragrance oils and cosmetic color and initially it looks and lathers perfectly. After the bottle sits for a few days, the soap seems to separate and settle to the bottom of the bottle. Any suggestions on what to do?

      I’m not sure, but it may be the addition of the oils and colors that makes the soap separate. I would try it without those and see if that helps. The only thing I add to mine is glycerin to help the soap go on more smoothly and keep it from being too drying. Hope that helps.

    any problems i have had with a castile hand soap seperating and needing remixing periodically was when we are up at our summer cottage where the water is very hard (Lake Water). at home our water is soft and i never have had an issue with the dr bronners not staying suspended in the solution. distilled water might be the way to go if your in a hard water area.

    Hi, I tried to make my own foaming hand soap to use Dr. Bronner’s as shampoo and body wash in the shower since I cannot get it to foam, I used quite a bit of the soap to make it seem like it foams (plus tea, witch hazel, vitamin e, and glycerin). Then I made one foaming hand soap with Dr. Bronner’s liquid castile soap and it separated and did not foam. I also tried to make a foaming hand soap with dial hand soap using little less than 1/3 soap. This soap separated into little flakes and had to be remixed every time I used it. We have 250 PPM as CaCO3. So our water is pretty hard, is that the problem? Any advice, please? Will adding glycerin help Dr. Bronner’s soap foam more, or what will?
    Thanks.

    Have you guys ever checked out some of the already made castile soap? It’s so much easier than making yourself especially if you don’t have the time. There is sites where you can get it for a great price without going broke. I myself, get my castile soap from http://www.naturalwayorganics.net and it’s been the best I’ve ever used.

    […] Hand Soap – Use a foaming soap dispenser and fill it up with water and then add a few squirts of castile soap. (Another great way to avoid triclosan!) I bought some rose scented castile soap on clearance at Target only to get it home and realize that I didn’t really like the scent.  So, I’ve been using it this way for hand soap and because it’s so diluted, the smell isn’t as much of an issue. It’s also great for kids because it makes a lot of fun bubbles to wash with, but without the nasty chemicals in popular kids’ soaps like Kandoo. […]
