This summer during the Aromahead classes, homemade foam soap recipes were a huge hit!
These foam soap recipes are simple to make, soft on your hands, and smell great! I have foam soaps by my kitchen and bathroom sinks, and people comment on them all the time. They also make perfect gifts.
I buy the 2 oz and 8 oz sizes at SKS bottles. I use the 2 oz for traveling, and the 8 oz for the house. Be sure to purchase foam soap containers and not regular soap pumps. The special foam soap pumps create a foamy texture when you dispense the soap.
SKS only sells in bulk, so if you want to buy them individually, Aromatics International has them.

I love a mix of any two, three, or all four of the following: grapefruit, basil, peppermint, and rosemary ct camphor, very fresh and summery! Also love bergamot mint by itself, and the conifer/citrus combo!
I’ve been reading everything you send, of course!! The foam soap is as easy as mixing essential oils with liquid castilles soap? The foam soap dispenser makes it come out foamy???? WOW! I’m going to try that for Christmas presents!!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge so generously!

I’ve been loving the combination of fennel and ginger as the weather grows cooler. Warming and smells clean and fresh.
I recently made my own foam soap! I used essentail oils of lemongrass, bergamot, lavender and used tea tree Castile soap.
