This DIY Foaming Hand Soap smells so good and makes such a beautiful homemade gift idea!
DIY tutorial by Olivia from the MoneySavingMom team.
This is the best foaming hand soap recipe!
I recently created this recipe for a girls’ fall party I hosted and it was a huge hit!
Not only does it smell amazing, but it also looks really festive too! It forms a white foam layer on the top that reminds me of whipped cream on top of a hot beverage — perfect for the colder months!
This foaming hand soap is extremely moisturizing, thanks to the MCT oil and glycerin. It’s perfect for the upcoming dry winter months.
As an added bonus, you can even use this lovely foaming soap for shaving cream and body wash! Just add a bit less water so the foam is extra thick and creamy.
Ingredients for Vanilla Cider Foaming Hand Soap
- 14 oz Foaming Hand Soap Dispenser Bottle
- 2 Tablespoons MCT Oil
- Essential Oils (I used 22 drops cinnamon, 6 drops clove bud, 5 drops ginger, and 1 drop nutmeg)
- 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Glycerin
- 6 Tablespoons Liquid Castile Soap
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- Filtered Water
How to make your own foaming hand soap:
1. Add MCT oil and essential oils to the foaming hand soap dispenser bottle. Give it a good swirl to mix the oils together.
2. Add in all remaining ingredients except the water. Give it another swirl to mix everything together.
3. Fill the remainder of the jar with filtered water. Screw on the lid and shake it a few times.
Foaming hand soap is a great gift!
This recipe makes enough for one 14-ounce bottle of foaming hand soap OR 4 mini foaming hand soap containers.
These tiny bottles make excellent gifts for teachers, coaches, friends, neighbors, or even as a party favor!
How to divide this recipe into 4 mini bottles:
Follow the first 2 steps above (mixing all ingredients, except the water).
Then divide the mixture (as evenly as possible) into 4 mini pump bottles.
Finally, add water to fill each one individually and swirl to combine.
