I used to help people with essential oils, and I did decently at it. The helping people part was good. I just didn’t have a real passion for essential oils. One of the really neat things about helping people use essential oils though is that I learned how to make a bucket load of my own personal care items and household cleaners.
One of the things that I learned how to make during my stint helping people use essential oils was foaming hand soap.
Two things about making foaming hand soap:
It’s the EASIEST thing you could ever attempt to make yourself.
It will save you more than just about any other item that you can make for yourself!
Making Foaming Hand Soap You Need:
A foaming hand pump or if you want to use your own mason jar or repurpose ones you already bought. The one in the picture was repurposed from a Bath and Body Works foaming hand soap bottle.
Castille soap – I buy it from Azure Standard. It’s the best price you’re going to find anywhere.
Water
Essential oil – only if you’d like
Directions to Make Foaming Hand Soap:
Put about 1/2 inch of Castille soap in the bottom of the soap dispenser.
Add any 15-20 drops of essential oils you plan on using.
Fill it up with water, swirling the ingredients together.
Put the foaming pump back on it and use it like normal soap.
Advantages
A gallon of Castille soap from Azure runs me about $37. That one gallon of soap will last my family of seven more than 2 years of making my own foaming hand soap! I have purchased my foaming hand soap pumps and I have repurposed foaming hand soap pumps. You can save SO MUCH making this one change.
One gallon of Castille soap takes up so little space. If you purchased two years of hand soap, it would take up SO MUCH room! You save room for other preparations by making your own soap.
You also take another step toward self-sufficiency – probably the easiest step you could take. Pour in two or three ingredients and swirl!
Remember, knowledge isn’t knowing something, it’s living it. Go out and live the knowledge you’ve gained.
