There are lots of reasons to want to make your own foaming soap!
Studies show that when people use foaming soap, they use 16% less water to rinse off – multiply that by the number of times we wash our hands (these days that’s a lot!) and the number of people in Ottawa and you get big water savings!
Foaming soaps typically biodegrade faster than traditional soaps, partly due to the forced air that causes natural lathering. As a result, less soap ends up down the drain which is better for our environment.
Have you ever read the list of ingredients in a store bought soap? It’s kind of nice to know that your soap only has 4 ingredients, all of which have names you can pronounce, like “water”.
You can customize the smell and texture to suit your personal taste.
Hand made foaming hand soap won’t dry out your hands like store bought soap.
It’s cheap, fun, and a great indoor planet friendly activity to do with kids!
