DIY - Oatmeal and Lavender Homemade Foaming Hand Wash

My quest for natural products and frugality continues.  Today was foaming soap.

Oatmeal and Lavender Homemade Foaming Hand Wash

Ingredients

3 cups water
1/4 cup oatmeal (steel cut or rolled are fine)
1/4 cup liquid castile soap 
6 – 12 drops lavender essential oil 
1 tsp vitamin E oil 
2 tsp jojoba oil

Plus you’ll need a foaming dispenser or two. 

Directions 

1. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Place oatmeal in a glass bowl and pour boiling water over oatmeal. Let sit for 1 – 2 hours and then strain water to remove oats from water. 2. In a small bowl mix castile soap, essential oil, vitamin E oil, and jojoba oil until fully incorporated.

3. Pour enough of the soap/oil mixture to fill about 10 – 15% of your foaming soap dispenser.

4. Pour oatmeal infused water into the dispenser until nearly full. Twist the lid back on and you’re done!

*This recipe will fill two average sized dispensers.
