Foaming Hand Soap

We have been making our own foaming hand soap for years, but finally found a recipe that makes it so much easier. We use old foaming hand soap bottles or we purchased some from Amazon.

1 oz hand soap

5 oz water

1T vegetable glycerin (not absolutely necessary, but it helps the pump last longer)

1.  Combine all ingredients in a 6 oz bottle with a foaming pump. With lid on, shake until the soap and water combine.

1:5 ratio for soap:water

example: 1C hand soap: 5 C water : 6T vegetable glycerin (fills about 6 Bath and Body Works foaming soap bottles).

Note: We like to fill a lot of bottles at once and combine it all together in a drink pitcher.  The spout on the pitcher makes filling the bottles easier.  We leave space at the top of the bottle to allow for the pump. Below are the amounts to fill about 12 bottles.

2 C hand soap

10 C water

3/4 C vegetable glycerin
