How to Make Liquid Hand Soap

You came to the right place if you’re looking for a super easy, super quick, and super foamy liquid hand soap that can be made at home with just four ingredients. For the soap dispenser, I just used the cute little glass soap dispenser(as seen in the photo below) I was gifted at my bridal shower, but you can also reuse any good ol’ soap bottle.

I don’t know if you’re noticing a trend, but here in our two households, or should I say pods(haha), we’re gravitating more and more toward handmade products. Check out our post on homemade laundry detergent here and our all-purpose cleaner here. Not just because it’s cheaper to make it by yourself, but because we love knowing exactly what ingredients we’re using daily. I also enjoy looking around my house and seeing more and more of what I made with my own two hands! So fun and rewarding:)

Another added bonus to this whole make-from-scratch deal is that it is just so fun to do! Seriously, this recipe was DONE in like 2 minutes, which was perfect-timing because we actually ran out of our store-bought hand soap! I also love how this hand soap lathers up in my hands. Even my two-year-old son loves the bubbles it forms and begs to wash his hands;)

Without further adieu, let me explain how exactly I made my very own liquid hand soap.

What You’ll Need For the Liquid Hand Soap

• 1/2 cup Castile soap
• 1 Tbs olive oil
• 1 Tbs glycerin
• 16 oz water
• 15 drops of essential oils(optional)

Step 1: dump all of the ingredients into your soap dispenser.
Step 2: shake up the bottle. Ta-da! Your very own handmade liquid hand soap is ready to go! Lather up and rinse your hands ‘til squeaky clean:)

Note: I used this Castile soap that was already with tea tree essential oil, so I didn’t need to add the 15 drops. However, if you’re using unscented plain Castile soap, you should add the essential oil drops to have a scent to your liquid hand soap.
