foaming hand soap

I did a post about making your own hand soap, but for some reason my boys like the foaming kind. Something about the suds makes them scrub their hands a little better, and who can argue with that? This recipe takes about 60 seconds (and three ingredients!) to make.


Foaming Hand Soap
2 tbsp Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap
2 tsp fractionated coconut oil
1 cup water
10 drops essential oil (optional)

Mix soap, coconut oil, and essential oils in a foaming hand soap pump (either reused or new). Then fill the rest of the bottle with water. Give it a little shake every now. So easy!

Recipe Notes:
Fractionated coconut oil is a liquid form, unlike regular coconut oil, which is a solid. It has no nutritional value, but is great for soaps and lotions, as well as diluting essential oils. 

Do not use regular coconut oil in this recipe as it will solidify.

I used lemon and orange essential oils for the antibacterial properties.
