There is no greater need right now than a foaming hand soap that is gentle on your hands yet effective for protection from the dreaded Coronavirus. And most importantly, one you can make yourself at home since you are probably having a hard time finding them.

At the end of every news report, we hear the constant reminder to “Wash your hands, wash your hands!!!” I have never washed my hands so frequently in all my life.  

Well, it doesn’t take long for your hands to dry out if you aren’t using a moisturizing and gentle soap on your hands.  Dry, cracked hands leave you more vulnerable to viruses and bacteria.

I really like foaming soaps because it uses less soap and it cleans and rinses off quickly. 

I think you will enjoy this recipe that I am using by all the sinks in my home.  I love how fresh and clean my hands feel afterward. Even after all the handwashing, my hands feel happy and well moisturized. 

You may even have all these ingredients at home, if not, they are easily accessible on Amazon Prime.  I took great care in adding links to products that are still available, affordable and the best quality, natural ingredients.  I will update this post and these links once a week during this pandemic and once a year during cold and flu season so check back.

 

Yield: 16 oz. Foaming Soap

This foaming soap will not only keep your hands clean and germ free but it will moisturize your hands to prevent dryness and cracked skin from frequent washing.

Total Time 4 minutes

Materials

  • 16 oz. Mason Jars with regular opening
  • Mason Jar Foaming Soap Dispenser Lid and Pump
  • Castile Soap
  • Vitamin E Oil
  • Almond Oil
  • Lavender Essential Oil
  • Liquid Color

Instructions

  1. Fill 16 ounce mason jar with 1/4 cup castile soap.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon almond oil.

Notes

Experiment with other essential oils and combinations of oils along with different color enhancements to change things up.

Note: you can use red and blue food coloring instead of liquid color, but I prefer the brightness of the liquid color.

Please note: The CDC recommends washing your hands vigorously under hot water for 20 seconds.

When you don’t have time to do that or you are out and about and don’t have access to a sink, I recommend keeping plenty of Hand Sanitizer Spray bottles around your home, in your purse, your car and on your desk.

    I just finished making more foaming soap before sitting down to my email and seeing your message. I had remembered seeing the blog post recently with your soap recipe and although I usually keep mine more basic I remembered that you used vitamin e and another oil, which I couldn’t remember at the time. I ended up using jajoba since that’s what I had in my cupboard next to the vitamin e oil and it really does step it up to a nicer soap. I’ll try almond next time as well.

      That’s great Sarah! There are so many ways you can do this. Any oil added to the foaming soap is going to make it so much nicer on your hands especially with all the handwashing we are doing these days! Thanks for sharing!
