step-by-step instructions

  1. Step 1. Measure 15.92 oz of Foaming Hand Soap Base into a container.
  2. Step 2. Add up to 0.5% fragrance oil (0.08 oz for a 16 oz batch). Use detergent-compatible oils.
  3. Step 3. Stir gently until fully blended — do not create excessive foam during mixing.
  4. Step 4. Bottle into foaming pump dispensers only. Standard lotion pumps will not produce foam.
  5. Step 5. Label with ingredients and your brand. Test one pump before filling a full production run.

common questions

Can I use regular pump bottles?

No — you must use foaming pump dispensers designed for aerating liquid soap.

Why is the fragrance load so low?

Foaming soap is used on skin — 0.5% keeps it gentle while still delivering noticeable scent.

Is this sulfate-free?

Yes — sulfate-free, PEG-free, and dye-free formula safe for frequent hand washing.
