Homemade foam soap

[CSP]

Hi all,

 

I am thinking ahead for my DD as she goes off to college in the fall and I decided to save $$$ by making my own foam hand soap for her to take. I'm trying to keep her from running to the drug store spending her $.

 

I got to thinking this may help some of you all with OCD children who wash their hands a lot. I don't know if you go through a lot of soap.

 

Recipe is:

 

1 cup distiled water

3 Tbs liquid castile soap

1 tsp glycerin

drops of essential oil (peppermint was nice)

 

You need a foam pump to fill, so I would suggest to buy one from the store use it up and then refill with this recipe.

 

Good luck,

CP

that's a great recipe! thanks CP

 

my son uses Ivory bar soap as most every other soap gives him a rash

 

the Dr Bronner's peppermint castille soap is great but so pricey! so I really appreciate your recipe!

I thank you as well, I am paranoid about chemicals in soap.

My thanks, too! Our DS12 is a BIG handwasher still (one of the OCD habits he's having a harder time breaking, and being as we want to help him stay away from infection, we're not riding him overly hard on it, either), and so many soaps are just too harsh on his skin. We've been using Cetaphil, but even when you buy big at the Costco, it sets you back! I'm gonna try this!

You are all welcome!

 

It really does come out of the pump just like the real foam soaps. Kinda cool, and the money one could save. We all spend so much keeping our kids healthy this is just one thing that take 2 min. to make, and makes ya feel good.

 

Chemar, I think I'll see how this works as a body wash for my dd too.
