To make your own foaming soap, you’ll need a

• foam soap dispenser
• A tablespoon
• Shower gel ( of the same scent as your original foaming soap)
• food coloring (Optional)
• hot tap water (note: not too hot).

First, open your soap dispenser and set the pump aside. Grab your favorite shower gel (I am using the same brand and scent from Bath & Body Works as our foaming soap). Measure a tablespoon of shower gel and pour it into your soap dispenser. If you like very fragrant soap, add a second tablespoon; this will make your soap smell even stronger than the original.

Next, add a few drops of food coloring to enhance the color of your foam soap version. Finally, fill the soap bottle almost to the top with hot water (the hotter, the better for dissolving the shower gel).

Tightly screw on the lid, shake until the shower gel is dissolved, and there you have it—a luxurious foaming soap that looks and smells just like the real thing.

FAQs

What ingredient makes liquid soap foamy?

These nifty chemicals are like bubble-wizards, conjuring up that satisfying foam in your liquid soap. Think of them as soap’s secret sauce. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and coco betaine are the cool kids on the block when it comes to crafting that perfect lather.

Can you put any liquid soap in a foaming dispenser?

Well, not exactly. Regular soap tends to be a bit too thick for the foaming magic to happen seamlessly. So, here’s the scoop: Grab your liquid soap and a dance partner, and by dance partner, I mean water. Measure them out in equal parts. Now, to hit that sweet spot, think 1 part soap to 4 parts water.

Why is my liquid soap not foaming?

Ever wondered why your foaming soap dispenser isn’t belting out those frothy clouds like it used to? Well, chances are, your trusty foaming filter might be playing hard to get. But no worries; we’ve got a trick up our sleeves.

In cases where the soap isn’t mixed meticulously or is deprived of ample curing time, it might fail to achieve the desired lathering effect. Furthermore, the presence of hard water can play a role in hindering the soap’s ability to lather effectively
