- Foaming soap dispenser
- 1–2 tablespoons Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap any scent of your choice
- distilled or filtered water
- Optional: A few drops of essential oil for added scent or skin benefits e.g., tea tree for antibacterial properties, lavender for calming effects.
Prepare Your Soap Dispenser:
Start with a clean, empty foaming soap dispenser. If you’re reusing an old dispenser, wash it thoroughly to remove any residue from previous soaps.
Mix the Ingredients:
Add 1–2 tablespoons of Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap to the dispenser. Adjust the amount depending on how concentrated you want your soap. Then, pour in 1 cup of distilled or filtered water, leaving some space at the top to prevent overflow.
Add Optional Ingredients:
If desired, add a few drops of essential oil to enhance the scent or provide additional benefits. For example, tea tree oil can boost the soap’s antimicrobial properties, while eucalyptus oil offers a refreshing aroma.
Shake Gently:
Screw the pump back on and gently shake the dispenser to mix the soap and water. Avoid shaking too vigorously to prevent foaming inside the container.
Start Washing:
Pump out a small amount of the foaming soap and enjoy the luxurious lather!
