To make easy foaming hand soap, start by mixing 2 tablespoons of liquid castile soap, 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil (to moisturize), and 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil for scent in a foaming soap dispenser. Fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water, leaving a little space at the top to avoid overflow. Screw the pump back on, shake well, and your homemade foaming hand soap is ready to use. This simple DIY solution offers a cost-effective and customizable way to keep your hands clean.
