Making homemade liquid hand soap is an enjoyable and rewarding process!  Some people get interested in making their own soap as a fun activity.  You may like to make your own liquid hand soap so that you know exactly what ingredients are in it.  Or you may want to try a liquid hand soap recipe as way of choosing to go green.  Whatever the reason- here is fun, easy hand soap recipe for first time soap makers!

Simple Homemade Liquid Hand Soap Recipe:

DIY Liquid Hand Soap Ingredients:

  • 1 Bar of unscented Castile soap
  • 1 gallon of water
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

How To Make Homemade Liquid Hand Soap:

Step one:
Choose a favorite unscented Castile bar soap like Kirks Natural, Dr. Brommer’s, Dr. Woods , or homemade Castile bar soap.

Step two:
With a grater, grate the Castile soap bar (a soap made with olive oil) into soap flakes into a large bowl. Try to get 2 cups worth.

Step three:
Heat the water and soap flakes on low/medium heat.   Add in the 1/4 lemon juice.

Step four:
Add 30 drops of an essential oil like Lemon Verbena or tea tree oil. I also like to combine essential oils like lemon and spearmint. Experiment with what you like.

Step five:
That was pretty much it! Now you just have to let your homemade liquid hand soap cool and then store in a jug for future use.  I keep my liquid soap stocked in old vinegar bottles or laundry jugs and use it as a liquid soap refill to fill old hand soap pump bottles.  This liquid hand soap recipe is biodegradable and phosphate free.  You can use it as a  liquid hand soap or add it too homemade soft scrubs and handmade all-purpose cleaners.

Do you think you will make this liquid Castile soap recipe? Is it easier than you thought it would be to make your own homemade liquid hand soap?
