DIY: Naturally Antibacterial Foaming Hand Soap


Who loves foam soap as much as I do?? Something about those fluffy bubbles makes me (and my sticky-handed toddlers) so excited to wash my hands, and that's never a bad thing. 

👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐

The problem is that most store-bought foam soaps dry out your hands and contain icky artificial fragrances, not to mention they are quite pricey. Also, many contain triclosan, a nasty chemical that kills good bacteria and pollutes the earth. With kids in the house that are obsessed with bubbles, $5 for a single bottle of soap doesn't add up.

So here's my favorite life hack right here... even better homemade foaming hand soap! With the addition of coconut oil and gentle castille soap, our hands are softer than ever. And at just pennies per bottle, I don't care how many times per day the little ones want to go bubble crazy. Plus, no icky chemicals: Lavender oil is naturally antibacterial and kills all the icky stuff while supporting a healthy immune system. 


Find the recipe here on the doTERRA blog, and stock up on the essential oils you'll need to make your own here at my doTERRA shop.
