Making your own foaming hand wash at home is simple, affordable, and a great way to avoid harsh or unnecessary chemicals. Here’s a basic recipe that works perfectly in a foaming soap pump.
Ingredients:
- 60 mL liquid castile soap
- 5 mL (1 teaspoon) carrier oil – e.g. sweet almond, jojoba, or fractionated coconut oil
- 10–15 drops essential oil (optional) – try lavender, lemon, or tea tree for a natural scent and added benefits
- Filtered or distilled water
- Foaming soap dispenser
Instructions:
- Pour the castile soap into your empty foaming dispenser.
- Add the carrier oil and essential oils (if using).
- Fill the rest of the bottle with filtered or distilled water, leaving about 2 cm of space at the top.
- Screw the pump lid back on and shake gently to mix.
That’s it! The foaming comes from the pump, not the soap itself – so no need for extra foaming agents.

- Swirl or shake gently to combine.
Tip: Most store-bought hand soaps are too thick to foam on their own and can clog the pump. Diluting them makes them perfect for foaming dispensers.
