To make liquid soap, you will need the following ingredients and materials:
Ingredients: - 1 bar of soap (preferably a natural or glycerin-based soap) - Water - Essential oils (optional for fragrance) - Glycerin (optional for added moisturizing properties)
Materials: - Cheese grater - Pot - Mixing bowl - Whisk or spoon - Funnel - Pump dispenser bottle
Instructions:
1. Grate the bar of soap using a cheese grater. The finer the soap is grated, the easier it will dissolve in water.
2. In a pot, bring 1 quart of water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and add the grated soap. Stir continuously until the soap has completely dissolved.
3. Remove the pot from heat and let the soap mixture cool for a few minutes.
4. Add 1-2 tablespoons of glycerin to the soap mixture for added moisturizing properties. You can also add a few drops of essential oils for fragrance at this point.
5. Transfer the soap mixture to a mixing bowl and let it cool completely. It will thicken as it cools.
6. Once the soap mixture has cooled and thickened, use a whisk or spoon to mix it until smooth and creamy.
7. Use a funnel to pour the liquid soap into a pump dispenser bottle.
Your homemade liquid soap is now ready to use! Shake well before each use, as the soap may separate over time. Enjoy your all-natural, homemade liquid soap.

Materials:
- 1 cup (240 ml) distilled water - 1/2 cup (120 ml) liquid Castile soap or baby soap - 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable glycerin (optional) - 10-20 drops essential oils of your choice (optional) - Food coloring (optional) - Soap dispenser
Instructions:
1. Prepare the base: In a clean bowl or container, whisk together the distilled water and liquid soap until well combined.
2. Add glycerin (optional): If desired, stir in the vegetable glycerin. This will help to create a thicker, more moisturizing soap.
3. Add essential oils (optional): If using, add 10-20 drops of your chosen essential oils to the soap mixture. This will give the soap a pleasant scent and additional benefits.
4. Add food coloring (optional): If desired, add a few drops of food coloring to create a colored soap.
5. Mix thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well blended.
6. Pour into a soap dispenser: Pour the liquid soap into a clean soap dispenser.
Usage:
- Use the liquid soap as you would any other hand soap. - For a luxurious lather, pump out a small amount of soap into your hands and rub together vigorously. - Rinse hands thoroughly with water.
Tips:
- Use a preservative, such as Optiphen or Germall Plus, if you plan to store the soap for more than a few weeks. - If the soap becomes too thick, add more distilled water until it reaches the desired consistency. - If the soap becomes too thin, add more liquid soap. - Customize the soap by experimenting with different essential oil blends and scents. - Store the soap in a cool, dry place.
