Creating foaming liquid soap at home is easier than you think. The process involves mixing Liquid Soap Concentrate Base and distilled water. It’s customized with color and fragrance, then poured into Foaming Pump Bottles. It’s a fun alternative to bar soap, and it looks great next to the sink.
The supplies you need to get started are included in the Foaming Liquid Soap Kit – all you need to provide is distilled water and a few basic tools. The kit also includes printed instructions and labels. Click here to get the kit.
This soap is scented with Coastal Rain Fragrance Oil, which has notes of lemon, white tea, sea salt, and musk. The color comes from Brilliant Blue LabColor. It’s a water-based colorant that’s easy to incorporate. Add just a few drops of LabColor for a light hue, or up to 2 mL for a highly saturated color.
