Your bottle is 12 ounces. The easier way to do it is put in 10 ounces of water 1st then add 2 ounces of castile soap then drops of essential oils. when you put the soap in 1st, then the water, it is more likely to start foaming immediately because of water pressure on the soap. By adding the soap last, you will need to shake the container to mix the concoction. You can also pre-make the mixture and store it away and refill your bottle as needed. (if you want to make 1/2 gallon {64 ounces) then use 50 ounces water; 10 ounces castile soap. This will make 60 ounces of soap leaving 4 ounces for air The drops of essential oil will be 5x since you are making 5 times as much foaming soap). Make sure the pump is a foaming pump or it will not come out as foam.
Cane over from your sisters channel. So glad you have a channel too!!! This will really help me , I appreciate the down to earth people that you both seem to be, thank you!!!!! 😁
@@lovelibertyqc I don't use it with water anymore,,,,,, i made a few batches and some of them was very thick that when it came put of the bottle, it wouldn't move on your hands and some i make it that it's thick but watery at the same time,,,, don't know how that happens,,,,,,,,,,,, for me, I put aloe vera gel in with the mixture and it gives it a nice soft feeling.
About every month or so our soap pumps break. We've tried two you've recommended and a few from Walmart and Amazon. What could we be doing wrong or need to switch up ? Thanks ! Any feed back is appreciated. We love your DIYs. (Last night we tried the vinegar clean out method. Today they're not working again. )
Have you ever purchased castile soap in bulk, bigger than typical Dr. Bronners container? Have you ever used different brand other than Dr. Bronners and did you like it?
Perhaps this is a silly question, but I hope someone will explain it to me clearly: if we’re going to buy Castile soap anyway, why are we making soap out of that?
castile soap is super concentrated so you add water. hope that helps there isn't much more to the reason than that. It actually says to dilute it with water on the bottle.
Laura, this recipe is so easy and great! in the video you mentioned, it's good to use Lavender oil for shampoo or body wash. My question is, do I need to add in some other things for shampoo or body wash? is it better to add some vitamin E oil for hair or skin? or unnecessary?thanks!
I'm thinking about using young living thrives EO for my kitchen since my husband loves it and for our bathrooms I may use YL peace EO mixed with stress away. Not sure yet. Waiting on the unscented Bonners to come in that way I'm not using my lavender Bonners for the soap to mix with other eos
Our Oily House thank you for the response! I’ll have to order a couple. I love the glass ones you have verses the plastic you tend to see a lot of. Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you 🙏🏻 I used On Guard Essential oil blend in the kitchen and the Edens garden essential oil 30ml i used lavender in the bathroom. I used two brands of essential oils Doterra and Edens garden, my Edens garden collection is 50 essential oils in 30ml bottle in my essential oil wall mounted rack and my doterra essential oil collection is 50 essential oils in 5-15ml bottles in my essential oil wall mounted rack, I have two of essential oil wall mounted rack.
Please help. I tried this exact recipe and my soap does not smell good at all, and it leaves my hands feeling like I have a film on them. Used the same Castile, and used eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils. What gives??!!
Since this recipe uses a ton of water, you’ll need to use up this soap within a week or two. If you plan on keeping this around for longer, you have to add a preservative since it will start growing bacteria.

Way too runny need massive thickening
If you add water the soap can start introduce bacteria and mold after about 2 weeks.
@@loredoezema3510does this also apply to demineralized water?
Perfect! Thank you!
Glass container, but isn't the tube inside made of plastic?
I also make hand soap this way and love grapefruit essential oil. It smells amazing and cuts grease extremely well!
Love that! Grapefruit is a great one to add!

Thank you for following along! Glad you are finding my info helpful!
Shelf life??? Please always mention the shelf life to diys thank you!
When I tried to make hand soap with castile soap with water, all I get is runny liquid,, how can you make it without it being runny?
@@lovelibertyqc I don't use it with water anymore,,,,,, i made a few batches and some of them was very thick that when it came put of the bottle, it wouldn't move on your hands and some i make it that it's thick but watery at the same time,,,, don't know how that happens,,,,,,,,,,,, for me, I put aloe vera gel in with the mixture and it gives it a nice soft feeling.
This is hand wash recipe, can you suggest natural dish washing recipe for dish cleaning, thanks in anticipation 🙂🙂
Yes I shared my dish soap recipe in my cleaning video!
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you for your reply 🙂🙂
What would you add for moisturizing properties?
Will this recipe be more moisturizing because the hand wash soaps I use dries out my hands since I wash often?
Just ordered three of the dispenser sets! Thank you! Sent to your channel by your beautiful sis! Now I’m binge watching! Many blessings!
Awww thank you!

Hmmm I am not really sure, I have had the same two for 8 years!
Can I use this in a regular soap container, or does it have to be a foam one?
Foam is best or it will be too liquidy.
Have you ever purchased castile soap in bulk, bigger than typical Dr. Bronners container? Have you ever used different brand other than Dr. Bronners and did you like it?
Yes! I have used this kind and bought it in a gallon size: amzn.to/2Wf8WXb

Is it safe to add food coloring?
If you use natural kind. :)
Is the water just tap water (cold)?
Yes, I just use regular tap water.
This is the easy recipe I was looking for!! Thank you very much! Does it matter what kind of water we use?
I use filtered water. :)
@@ouroilyhouse Thank you!! Is there a particular water filter you recommend?

Love your Channel. Going to make soap for my bathroom
Thank you! I love this stuff!

Love all the options you have when scenting foaming hand soap!
Thank you! I love switching it up!
This is so simple! Is it possible to make hand soap without having a foaming dispenser?
It works best with a foaming container because the castile soap makes it foam.
Our Oily House thank you for the response! I’ll have to order a couple. I love the glass ones you have verses the plastic you tend to see a lot of. Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for the great clip , I found that the essential always float on the surface after a while, any solution for this please?
Shake well before use.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I used On Guard Essential oil blend in the kitchen and the Edens garden essential oil 30ml i used lavender in the bathroom. I used two brands of essential oils Doterra and Edens garden, my Edens garden collection is 50 essential oils in 30ml bottle in my essential oil wall mounted rack and my doterra essential oil collection is 50 essential oils in 5-15ml bottles in my essential oil wall mounted rack, I have two of essential oil wall mounted rack.
Thanks for sharing!!
I would not add water to the castile soap. You need to make people aware that if they add water the soap should be used within a couple of weeks.
Try Amber oil. It's a winner.
What's the recipe using thieves oil for the bathroom foaming dispenser
I made this as described and the soap separates from the water. Am I doing something wrong?
Just shake it before using if it separates.
@@ouroilyhouse Will do! Thank you :)
Can you use vegetable glycerin as a preservative in this formula to make it last longer ?
Do you need to shake it up before you use it every time?
You didn't show actual foam🤗
Was the water cold or warm?
either is fine
I just started doing all your DIY recipes for our home. I was wondering if you have a recipe for bar soap or body wash?
No bar soap yet, but it is on my to do list! For body wash I use the same recipe as the hand soap and just had in a teaspoon of glycerin.
@@ouroilyhouse thank you for replying back.
I have had great luck with a soap recipe on The Kings Roost channel. I hope this helps you both!
Tried this recipe today. Love it! It felt slightly harsh on my hand. Do we need to add glycerin to this recipe for moisturizing?
Yes you can!
I made this and it dries out my skin to the point it’s painful.
Awww man I am so sorry it didn't work for you. This is the only soap we have used in mud house for 8 years and have never had that issue.
I add approx 1 tsp of a carrier oil that I mix with EOs then add to Castile, then add H2O. That helps with dryness.
Please help. I tried this exact recipe and my soap does not smell good at all, and it leaves my hands feeling like I have a film on them. Used the same Castile, and used eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils. What gives??!!
Hmmm I am not sure, I guess it is preference! I love the smell of castile soap.
Thank you so much!
This comes out as a bubbly foam when dispensed?
Yes!

What do you recommend?

Will this work as a non foaming soap?
Yes it will. I use this in a spray bottle for dishes as well.
I tried this but the soap is super drying on my hands, any tips?
Use fractionated coconut oil in the mixture
Add Aloe Vera gel to it
what type of castal soap can i use
I use dr Bronners unscented. Here is a link: amzn.to/34bh8bO
