Foaming soap dispenser

• Is the key to a proper foaming hand soap
• You can re-use a foaming dispenser you already have, or purchase a new one (the one I used is linked here)
• I love foaming soap since it uses a fraction of the amount of soap of a typical soap dispenser and creates the perfect foamy cloud-like soap!

How to make

1. Add 6 oz of distilled (or filtered) water to the soap dispenser
2. Then add 1 oz of Castile soap to the soap dispenser
3. Next, add 10 drops each of Tea tree and Lavender essential oils
4. If you don’t have these oils, feel free to substitute with any you have at home, or omit them altogether ⏤ the DIY Foaming hand soap will still lather without them
5. Add the top back on, just make sure there is enough space left to screw the cap on tightly
6. Give it a shake
7. Enjoy!
