Be the first to rate it
1 part castile soap to 3 parts water in a foaming pump. Refill your foaming dispensers for pennies.
What You’ll Need
- Castile soap: 1 part
- Water: 3 parts
- Optional: 5-10 drops of tea tree oil, orange oil, or lavender oil
- Optional: 1-2 tbsp melted glycerine soap (more moisturizing)
- Or use a pre-scented castile soap such as peppermint instead of essential oils
- Reusable foaming pump bottle
Equipment
- funnel
Directions
- Pour 1 part castile soap and 3 parts water into the foaming pump.
- If you are using essential oil or melted glycerine soap, add it now.
- Shake well. It is ready to use right away.
Notes
Pump as needed. Water plus soap with no preservative can grow bacteria, so make small batches with boiled-and-cooled or distilled water and use within a week or two, or add a cosmetic preservative.
Safety: keep out of eyes; tea tree oil is toxic to pets; peppermint and citrus can irritate kids’ skin.
