I’m so excited to share the simplest Homemade Foaming Hand Soap recipe with you today! This is going to change your world because after you purchase a couple simple ingredients and some essential oils and you can make any scent that you want! Of course I made my favorite Lemon Vanilla combination!
Check out how easy this is to make as well as all of our Essential Oils Projects from the last few months!
How to Make Lemon Vanilla Foaming Hand Soap
Materials You Need
3 Tablespoons Castile Soap
1/2 Teaspoons Vegetable Grade Glycerin
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
5 Drops Lemon Essential Oil
Instructions for Making Foaming Hand Soap
Step 1 – Place all the ingredients into the Foaming Soap Pump
Step 2 – Fill the rest of the way with water and use
Yes, it’s just that easy to make! Why wouldn’t everyone just make their own soap?! The Castile Soap and Glycerin that you purchase is going to be enough to make hand soap for the rest of your life! Ok, maybe not that long but serious people it’s going to make a TON!
If you know anything about Thieves Essential Oil, this would be a great time to use it and make your own bacteria killing foaming hand soap! I have a bottle of this in my house too but I have to be honest, the lemon scent is so amazing and I really prefer it over the Thieves!

May 15, 2018 at 6:51 pmDoes the lemon oil start to break down the plastic at all? Just curious since they recommend citrus oils be used with glass or stainless steel.

July 25, 2016 at 2:44 amI just made this. I used a pint Jar and just filled up the with water. I hoping that won’t dilute this recipe too much.

January 14, 2016 at 11:25 amDo u know approximately how much water u used. I have a soap container but it looks bigger than your picture and I don’t want to water down the other ingredients if I fill it all the way up. Thanks!! Excited to make this!
