Many thanks for sharing this recipe! I was finally able to refill my Japanese Foaming Hand Wash bottle (the dispensed foam is flower-shaped) :)

measure on side of bottle, 3 inches soap. 2 inches water . 2 inches air.
use a shot glass. 2 shots water. 3 shots soap. 2 shots air.*

In reply to Carol. it would depend on the volume of your container. it's not exactly like baking a cake. you can eye ball it. ;) or if you'd really prefer, measure your bottle and use Google to do the math for a "perfect" blend- but this is not necessary.

Love this! I did this at my job for a year and we went through so much less soap. So much cheaper, you wonder why people do it the other way at all.

Great post!

In reply to Debra.

Hi Debra, I do not. I make small batches and use them up within a month or so. I make sure the jar and tools I use are sterilized and keep the system closed (meaning the soap pump pulls the liquid out and no other bacteria is invited in. So with all of that, I have had the soap mix last for well over 6 months. But again, I make it and use it regularly so that is never really an issue. Lots of more info on using a natural preservative here: https://gardentherapy.ca/natural-lotion-recipe/ I hope this helps!

Don’t you need to add a preservative? When mixed with water, it introduces a means for bacteria to grow. The Castile Soap has a preservative, but once water is added it messes with the ratio. At least, that’s what I have read on Plant Therapy blogs, and other essential oil sites that talk about DIY foaming soaps.
