Basic Foaming Hand Soap
In a foaming hand soap bottle 
Fill 2/3 with water
Top with castile soap*
Add essential oils**

That's it!

* I prefer to use the non scented castile soap (like THIS). I recently got a deal on peppermint castile soap, I find it a bit over powering but couldn't pass up a deal!

** My foaming hand soap bottles are about 10 oz and I only add about 10-15 drops of essential oil. Always double check the dilution chart HERE.

Now to personalize your soap with essential oils. 

Right now, I am loving spearmint added to the peppermint castile soap, I find it helps to balance it out and gives a refreshingly cool scent for winter. 

Protective blends (every company has a different name) are lovely used in small amounts, it can burn. Some people say it smells like sunshine.

With the peppermint castile soap, I really love using lavender or wild orange. The smell is great and it gives me a pick me up. You could even use both for another fragrant combination. 

Lemon is a favorite in the kitchen. I love the fresh clean scent. 

Krysta thinks frankincense and bergamot make a nice musk scented soap.  It's a nice one for men, but she enjoys the smell too.

You can also add a squirt of glycerin and a drop or two of vitamin E oil for soft skin.
