DIY Foaming Handwash

Why Make Your Own Foaming Handwash?

In today's world, where we're becoming increasingly aware of the ingredients in both our food and personal care products, making your own toxic-free handwash is a really simple switch that you can incorporate into your lifestyle with minimal cost or effort. I started making my own foaming handwash over a year ago and am a convert! Honestly DIY foaming hand soap is one of the simplest natural recipes you can make.

Method

• Add all of the ingredients to a jug and give it a stir.

• Pour into your pump dispenser and give it a gentle shake to mix (no vigorous shaking, as that will create too many bubbles!)

Your non-toxic, moisturizing foaming handwash is now ready to use! Just pump a small amount into your hands, lather, and rinse off. It washes away dirt without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 125 ml cooled boiled water

• 125 ml liquid Castile soap

• 1 tablespoon of carrier oil (like almond or jojoba oil for added moisturization)

• 15 drops of tea tree essential oil

• 10 drops of lavender essential oil

Happy hand washing!

*Please note I find that this recipe works best for foaming handwash, if you use it with ordinary pump dispensers you will probably find it a bit of a thin watery consistency compared to the shop-bought handwashes.

I bought my foam pump dispensers from Doterra however Amazon have a great selection.
