Just a tip you can buy some vegetable glycerin online to add as a lot of people recommend online . It is also recommended using distilled water instead of tap water. Hope this helps .
Thanks. Came in great for this covid19 times when all soaps are sold out. I am recycling my bath and body works dispenser. Bought castille soap about 2 years ago and never looked into how to dilute it. Very very happy to use it now.
Followed this exactly with Dr. Bronner's lavender castile soap. Works perfectly! Just ran out, so here I am again to refresh my memory re the order of things. Thx for your clear description. I appreciate your sharing this with all of us!
I just made this with peppermint castile soap and it smells AMAZING and foams GREAT!! By the way...I reused an old Bath and Body foam bottle, that I had on hand, and it doesn't hold as much as the bottles you purchased. I put in 1 cup of water and 1/4 cup castiles, and it overflowed JUST a little when I put the pumper on. Next time I'll just go a couple tablespoons shy of a cup of water. Thanks for this recipe! I love using castile soap!! I have the citrus scent on my "wish list". :)
You can buy the unscented and make your own scents using essential oils. I also add jojoba oil to make my hands a little happier from all that handwashing
I love this Noreen!! We are the same way with hand soap, 1-2 bottles a week. I have a couple bottles of Dr. Bronner's at home. Though I don't have the citrus variety. I'm gonna run out and buy a few foaming hand soaps from the Dollar Tree and refill them with you recipe when they're empty. You just saved my family a ton of money. Thank you!!
But if you don't want soap full of chemicals and colors and wish to take a more natural, chemical free approach the Dr. Bronner's is always a great option.
Thanks Noreen! I am going to do this! We go through hand soap really fast too. I am enjoying your housekeeping series so much! Love to you and your family!
I add vitamin E oil, fractionated coconut oil and an essential oil to my hand soap with castile soap and distilled water so that it doesn't mold or mildew in the container. We go through it but it can still get nasty within days if you don't have an all natural preservative.
Oh that is so awesome. I'm going to have to start doing this for our family. We go through so much hand soap even in just a couple of days. Thanks for the heads up on making my own hand soap.
Always wondered if this was possible. I'm trying to use castile as much as possible, but I still have to have my Dawn for washing dishes. Something about the bubbles and the scent lol
Hey sweetheart I've been craving you and Heathers videos... Wanted to say sorry been So MIA!! I feel like I know you and Heather both!! You've both helped Me so much in one way or another Just wanted to let you know I hope to be back caught up with you both soon...God Willing!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I love this idea,Specially for my bathrooms!! I'm Gonna put this on my Amazon wish list... I hope its Prime 💭!! Again thx for the handy tip take care God Bless you and your family 😘💕Shey
Noreen you can also add a bit of pure aloe Vera gel for moisturization and I use Dr. Bronners with tea tree oil so there's no mildew. I also have a killer recipe for homemade hand sanitizer if you'd like. Just let me know.
I have very dry skin and am concerned about dryness with Castile soap. Do you find the Castile soap drying on your skin? If so, any thoughts on alternative recommendations? Thanks Noreen!
Heidi Blair Castile soap is made with all natural oils such as olive oil Hemphill oil and coconut oil is very emollient and nondrying I do not find it to be drying to my skin. There are no other alternatives for this particular application
I add jojoba oil which is most like our own oil to my homemade foaming soap. You can add as little or as much as you like. Since doing so my hands have been less drying.
noreen i am experiencing what looks like black soot on top of a few of my canning jars after pressure canning. do u know what it is and how to fix it. it does wash off when cleaning jars after cooling and it happens everytime
Hi, Can you please tell if the Amazon foaming pumps last long enough. I have tried so many foaming hand soap pumps but they clog after refilling a few times.
I sure was doing it wrong! Because I have thought I can do this! Well I put 1/2 soap and rest water! Well, I don’t have to tell you how that turned out! Lol! Thank you! Now dish soap!
This video is old. I provided a link to the bottles in the description box below the video. I don't know if they offer them any longer. I am sure there are similar bottles available.
Yes any of the dr drones can be used. I add jojoba oil use distilled water to keep it from molding if lasting longer than a week and you can add a few drops of essential oils to make your own custom scents.
As a soap maker, I hope you are adding distilled water. Too big a chance of mold unless you use distilled water. But I assume you are using it quickly.
This container of soap will be gone in less than a week. The instructions did not specify to use distilled water. I have used filtered water as I do for all my cooking and projects. I did not make this with the intent of selling it nor did I make it with the intent of storing it on the shelf for a long period of time so I am fairly certain that mold will not be an issue. Thanks for the comment.
I did make this and it didn't work. I used the same brand castile and measurements,, tried it with tap water and then with distilled water. Neither worked period.
Not if you buy it on sale. I usually buy BBW hand soap when it is on sale or on clearance and it is no more expensive than the cheap and cheesy walmart liquid soap.
just this morning I was thinking about this I had cancer I need to cut down on chemicals , but not sure if get the bottles like that in the UK . but we do have a foaming hair dye I never use the bottles may be that would be ok .thanks . just ideas , what about shampoo and conditioner tooth paste ect .I have seen other tubers do things and tried them but they have not worked for me . we all thrust you're advice .
sueb raschio not all natural, chemical free Castile hand soap with foamer tops you cannot. You can however buy crappy chemical laden non foaming hand soap from the dollar store. Your choice. Nobody is forcing you. This is informative snd you do what you like with that information. The bottles are an investment. You reuse them instead of tossing them in the trash. You should do what is best for you.
Ive used Dr, Bronners for 30 yrs and yes I do use foamer bottles. For the quality of the product and the correct foamer bottles this is a great deal in every way. tx for you video
sueb raschio not to mention all of the other uses for the Castile soap. Castile soap is an amazing cleaner for windows, wood, counters, etc, and you have to use very little Castile soap to water ratio. if you consider all of the other uses it is cost effective and natural
Noreen's Kitchen Castile soap is amazing. I make my own sugar scrub with it and shower with it almost every day. I use Dr. Bronners with tea tree oil for extra antibacterial properties and it keeps the water in the jar/bottle from mildewing. Awesome stuff! And definitely no chemicals. I am so sick of the chemicals forced upon us. I use my own stuff whenever I can.

Thanks. Came in great for this covid19 times when all soaps are sold out. I am recycling my bath and body works dispenser. Bought castille soap about 2 years ago and never looked into how to dilute it. Very very happy to use it now.
Awesome 👍 brilliant that you re used the dispenser you had too
Followed this exactly with Dr. Bronner's lavender castile soap. Works perfectly! Just ran out, so here I am again to refresh my memory re the order of things. Thx for your clear description. I appreciate your sharing this with all of us!
I love my lavender scented castile soap, and I can't wait to try it.
This is great! I actually use Dr Bronners on my face and body! I would of never thought of a foaming hand soap! Thank you so much for sharing!
You can actually make this as a shower foaming soap as well
I’ve been using this technique/recipe since you posted this video! Love the bottles from Amazon and the recipe works great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for the history lesson👍 The video was awesome, but above and beyond on the history in description.
Love this. They have the foam pump bottles at the dollar store too.
I recently discovered Bronners Sal Suds for cleaning. Love it. Very concentrated and smells fantastic. I use the unscented baby Bronners soap too.
I just made this with peppermint castile soap and it smells AMAZING and foams GREAT!!

I love dr. bronners. If the recipe calls for 2oz per batch, you can make 16 bottles of foaming soap from a 32oz bottle of castille soap (not 8).
Patricia Reitz you are correct! Math is NOT my jam. LOL!
Lol!
I put jojoba oil and essential oils in my homemade foaming hand soap and I use distilled water so it doesn't get nasty.
I love the foam soap. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
I love this Noreen!! We are the same way with hand soap, 1-2 bottles a week. I have a couple bottles of Dr. Bronner's at home. Though I don't have the citrus variety. I'm gonna run out and buy a few foaming hand soaps from the Dollar Tree and refill them with you recipe when they're empty. You just saved my family a ton of money. Thank you!!
Always a pleasure! Thanks for commenting!
I just reuse my bath and body soap bottles and just use Dawn dish soap works like a charm.
But if you don't want soap full of chemicals and colors and wish to take a more natural, chemical free approach the Dr. Bronner's is always a great option.
The castile soap lathers amazingly well.
LAKESIDE HOMESTEAD Hun, In my Kitchen I would Love Dawn hand wash as hands greasy etc. How much dawn do you use???
@Sharon Hill-Walker you can find it in Walgreens
Dr. Bronner's is also at Target, Walmart, plus online. Castile soap can be bought under different brands in solid and liquid form.
Thanks Noreen! I am going to do this! We go through hand soap really fast too. I am enjoying your housekeeping series so much! Love to you and your family!
I add vitamin E oil, fractionated coconut oil and an essential oil to my hand soap with castile soap and distilled water so that it doesn't mold or mildew in the container. We go through it but it can still get nasty within days if you don't have an all natural preservative.

love making nontoxic hand soap.
LOVE Dr. Bronners!!! I do this as well!
I noticed a cloudy layer had formed at the bottom of the bottle of diluted soap. Is this normal?
Thank you!
Thank you for this Noreen,, I have seen other youtubers do this but I trust you "recipes" the most :)
Awesome. Just got my Castile soap 😃🤍 ty I had been buying the refill bags and bottles but not anymore!👍🏽
Nice, I like all the new videos ! Some really good ideas thanks so much!
Thank you for this. Simple and easy to follow!
thank you Noreen. I love this series. I make my own cleaners but have not madevsoap for personal use.
Thank you missy
Use unscented soap and add a few drops of your favorite essential oil -- wonderful!
Janet Ayres yes you can add essential oil to the scented soaps as well to boost their fragrance or make a custom blend.
Noreen's Kitchen I do this too. I have Dr. Bronner's rose castille soap & then add lavender oil or even lemon. Smells great:)
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing 😊
Just tried this. Awesome. Love the clean fresh scent.
I noticed a cloudy layer had formed at the bottom of the bottle of diluted soap. Is this normal?
thanks for tip and links...gonna do this!
I make my own all the time. I use bubble bath.
Wow, thank you for all that info on soap! Interesting!
How long does the solution last for safety.. can it keep for months without being rancid or something . I only use distilled water. thanks
Thanks for sharing!!! I really wanted to know how to make this!!! Thanks again and have a good evening!!!
I would love to make a foaming shampoo too...Yay🌺
You can use this as shampoo. Dr. Bronner's is an all purpose soap and is safe for washing hands, body, hair, dogs, kids, floors, and everything else.
I love this. I am going to try this.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the video. I just made some!
Thanks I'm on this next making my own.
Always wondered if this was possible. I'm trying to use castile as much as possible, but I still have to have my Dawn for washing dishes. Something about the bubbles and the scent lol

Noreen you can also add a bit of pure aloe Vera gel for moisturization and I use Dr. Bronners with tea tree oil so there's no mildew.
I also have a killer recipe for homemade hand sanitizer if you'd like. Just let me know.
Amethyst Samia I would love that recipe for hand sanitizer!
I also would love to have a copy of recipe please for hand sanitizer.
Very helpful!! Thank you for sharing!!😊

Hi, Can you please tell if the Amazon foaming pumps last long enough. I have tried so many foaming hand soap pumps but they clog after refilling a few times.
How do you make foaming dish soap?!
@noreen have you watched the documentary on dr bronner super interesting!!!
can I add fragrance without screwing up the soap?
A few drops of essential oil should be fine.
I sure was doing it wrong! Because I have thought I can do this! Well I put 1/2 soap and rest water! Well, I don’t have to tell you how that turned out! Lol! Thank you! Now dish soap!
i use castilte in lavander yummy
I enjoyed your video :)
What is the the product name of the bottles I see on amazon 4 bottles and6
This video is old. I provided a link to the bottles in the description box below the video. I don't know if they offer them any longer. I am sure there are similar bottles available.
nice
Were do you get the soap at
There is a link in the description box below the video with a list of all the items used to make the soap.
I use peppermint is that ok?
Yes any of the dr drones can be used. I add jojoba oil use distilled water to keep it from molding if lasting longer than a week and you can add a few drops of essential oils to make your own custom scents.
Dang I wish it was only 11 dollars it’s always 15 where Iv seen
tfs.
Dr Bonner's 32oz soap cost now 17.00 per bottle in 2022
Yup! Thanks Joe!
As a soap maker, I hope you are adding distilled water. Too big a chance of mold unless you use distilled water. But I assume you are using it quickly.

Thanks for the comment.
You are so welcomed. Always best to err on the side of caution. :)
Soap molds? I had no idea. Wow.
Stephanie, no not by itself. But if you add water, it could. Soap by itself is antibacterial.
aprilloves can I use spring water!
I did make this and it didn't work. I used the same brand castile and measurements,, tried it with tap water and then with distilled water. Neither worked period.
A week? You’d go bankrupt buying Bath and Body works!
Not if you buy it on sale. I usually buy BBW hand soap when it is on sale or on clearance and it is no more expensive than the cheap and cheesy walmart liquid soap.
aby answers Shey....?

@@amethystsamia use distilled water and you will not get mildew or mold
