I never thought I would get SO excited to make my own soap, but I guess that is what you call: ADULTHOOD. 😬😂 I also never thought I would enjoy using essential oils as much as I do, but I do!

So here I am, researching how to make my own foaming hand soap on Pinterest, looking up all the supplies I need on Amazon (which is only two things) and then placing my order and being so excited to get that “arrived” email! 🤗

I want to share how you can make your own foaming hand soap! I was so amazed at how EASY this wase, and I’m a big fan of using safer ingredients, especially with kids around! It was fun and these also make the cutest gifts! PS. I ordered everything right off of Amazon because—convenience!

Here’s what you’ll need:

Pure Castile Liquid Soap. I bought the gallon because I knew I would be making allll the things after this, but there are smaller options, like this.
A foaming soap dispenser. I found these SUPER cute mason jar soap dispensers on Amazon, but didn’t want to pay $20 for two dispensers. So, I ended up finding the foaming soap lids that fit mason jars for under $9!! And they come with their own cute little chalkboard inspired labels! I have lots of mason jars around the house anyway, so this option worked out perfect… If you’re looking for something different and cheaper, try this!
Essential oil of your choice. You can use whatever scent you’d like! Some of my favorites for soap would be: Lemon, Thieves, or Christmas Spirit for the Holidays. But there are so many options, you really can’t go wrong! (If you’d like to purchase oils for your soap, I can help you, here.)
Water.
