Interesting Facts About Foaming Hand Soap

Believe it or not, once you pump out this gorgeous foamy soap, you will instantly feel quite pleased and satisfied with your innovation.

This way, you will get the best of both worlds–homemade foaming soap and clean hands.

Despite being such a cost-effective way to craft your soap, you will surely impress your family or friends with your hidden talent.

The most interesting part of making foaming hand soap is when you realize it’s more water and only a teeny tiny bit of soap!

Hence, it’s easier and cheaper to formulate at home without worrying about purchasing any pricey ingredients.

Benefits of Using a Foaming Hand Soap

Some of the advantages of making use of foaming hand soap instead of a regular one are listed down below.

• It’s a great way to save on the actual amount of soap being used while washing hands.
• Often, we tend to pump out extra gel soap and end up with too much lather that makes it harder to come off.
• Foaming soap will last you longer as the amount of foam that pumps out of the dispenser looks significantly larger than the volume from regular gel or liquid soap.
• Pump Soap is environmentally friendly as you will save water and soap.
• Typically, a liquid hand-wash requires an ample amount of water to create lather. With foamy hand soap, you don’t need that much water. You can easily skip the “creating lather” step as the soap formula will make lather on its own.
• Moreover, it’s easier and faster to rinse hands after its use.

How To Create its Foaming Texture

The first thing you’ll need is a good foaming soap dispenser with a refill mechanism.

In case you already have a dispenser for foaming soap or even a foaming face cleanser bottle with a pump, they both should work equally well.

You’ll be surprised to know that this formula is the magic of a soap dispenser and not the soap itself.

The way it works is that the foaming dispenser is manufactured so that it takes in air in one chamber and pushes it out to the other chamber that contains soap.

The two chambers are attached to a pump that dispenses out the soap with a lot of froth.

Therefore, it’s crucial to invest in a foaming soap dispenser as you won’t be able to achieve the same results.

You can either purchase a foaming hand soap dispenser with soap already in it. Then, use it up and refill with your own solution.

Or, you can buy an empty dispenser and fill it with your own solution.

Here is a guide that will help you make your very own foaming hand soap at home. So, keep reading!

Steps To Follow

1. The magic ratio is a 1:4 ratio of castile liquid soap or gel-based soap into the water.
2. You will use 1/4 cup of gel soap or castile soap or even dish detergent to 1 cup of water.
3. Add the 1/4 cup of gel soap or liquid castile soap to a measuring cup.
4. Add that to your foam pump soap dispenser.
5. If using unscented castile liquid soap, consider adding 10 drops of essential oils like peppermint, lavender or Thieves Oil.
6. Then, slowly add one cup of water.
7. Optional ingredient is 1 tablespoon or Vitamin E oil or Aloe Vera juice to soften and moisturize.
8. Put the pump top back on the dispenser.
9. Mix well but do not shake the dispenser so as not to create lots of bubbles.
10. Tip the dispenser back and forth to make sure the soap mixture is completely dissolved.
11. Once you see a layer of foam buildup above the liquid contents in your dispenser, your foaming hand soap is ready to use!

Optional Ingredient is an additional 1 teaspoon of either olive oil, avocado oil or almond oil. This will help with softening the skin!
