Get Ready To Foam Up With This DIY Liquid Soap Recipe!

Today I'm going to show you how to make foaming soap. Use it as hand soap or body wash.

RECIPE
Water (400-2000 milliliters), 10 grams powder surfactant (I used sodium lauryl sulfoacetate -SLSa), 10 milliliters liquid surfactant (I used cocamidopropyl betaine), 10 milliliters fragrance oil, 5 milliliters polysorbate 20 because it’s thinner than poly 80, but you can use polysorbate 80 as long as it doesn’t thicken the mixture {the mixture needs to be as thin as water}.
*I thought about adding a preservative as this recipe contains water, but I didn’t (I was being lazy) but now I regret it as my coconut soap started souring. I added a preservative and now it's okay. But my point is: ADD A PRESERVATIVE ANYTIME YOUR RECIPE CONTAINS WATER!!! Germall Plus is a good one.

Use any powder surfactant as long as it dissolves in water. The SLSa creates fluffy foam and a thick lather. The liquid surfactant (cocamidopropyl betaine) is a foam booster and stabilizer. I don’t recommend adding more fragrance than this (it won't mix as good), but If you do, add more emulsifier as well.

DIRECTIONS
Mix powder surfactant and about 100 milliliters of distilled water. Microwave it so the powder is fully dissolved. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Now add more water. I added a total of 400 milliliters, but you can quadruple this! If using this as body wash, stick with the recipe. But if it's just for hand soap, you can double, triple, or quadruple the water as there is no difference in foam production!

You can make concentrated liquid soap to mix later; make the recipe as before just don’t add the additional water at the end. To refill the pump jar, add 1/4 concentrate and 3/4 (or more) water.

Hey. I am still subscribed but I must admit I (practically) never watch the videos. I’m travelling and don’t have my own home to actually start making anything you show. I wanted to write this comment to let you know that since I’ve subscribed a while ago, just seeing the thumbnails always get a little internal smile going. I was so surprised with the wonderful bath ball video that you made once and that you were willing to share all you’ve learned for free and posted a comment thanking you. And I remember your super kind reply. And since that moment every upload, even though I don’t click them, remind me of that and give me a little joy. Keep it up

And he wont use any other kind of soap except foaming ones an i spend way to much at bath and body works just on hand soap for my son. This video will save me a ton of money so thank you so much ur a god send no joke u probably just saved me 200$ in hand soap lol❤

[utopiankat]

Hey Dora!! I LOVE your channel! Question on this foaming soap... How much preservative should I add? I'm making it for body soap. Thanks!!! Love ya to bits! 💜☺️

[patrolaflo]

Dear Dora, I am trying to make a more powerful cleaner for my home. Do you think I could use neutralised vinegar instead of water without spoiling the mixture?
thanks in advance for your answer and the great video!

[michelemichele]

hey dora those little pump bottles look nice too. a lot of them clog, can u put a link to them also in your description? appreciate it

[jamesl]

Thanks for the vid!
Question if I were just make a base concentrate without scent what would you think would be a good quantity of scent to total mixture amount?

[CRod-kh]

Hi there! How much preservative would need to be added??

[trawls]

I absolutely love the content that you upload.. just a quick question? With this recipe is a preservative needed because of the water content.

[behati]

Can i use PEG40 for emulsifier? And do u know how much to put if i use PEG40? Im sorry. Im new here 🙈

[aprilwhitsett]

I can’t wait to try this recipe out! Out of curiosity do you think aloe vera gel like the one that can be used for bar soap making be used in this recipe in place of the water?

[TheChippersx]

So my question is: for the concentrate do i just add more water with the slsa? Or do i just double up on the recipe to make the concentrate
