Notes:
*Many recipes that I found called for a 1:1 ratio of water to castile soap but when I tried them out, it dried out my hands to the point that my skin was painfully dry. I cut back the ratio drastically as you can see so please note that you might want to do some experimenting of your own. Always listen to your body and use common sense when creating your own all-natural products*
**I also like to mix up the essential oils that I add to any of my all-natural DIY recipes. The citrus-clove blend that I use here is a lovely scent during the winter. Another great scent during the fall and winter months is peppermint. However, be very careful using peppermint essential oils if you have children in the house. That blend might be a better one to keep in a bathroom that isn’t used by kids.

***For my foaming hand soap, I rinsed out and reused an old Trader Joe's foaming hand soap bottle. You can also purchase empty foaming soap dispensers from Amazon if you'd prefer***
