I love these soaps from Bath and Body Works. Not only do they smell great, but they’re soft on your hands, and it’s so much easier for Abs to wash her hands with the “bubble soap.”
I had even put them on my wish list for Christmas this year because we just ran out of the bottles in our kitchen and guest bathroom. Then, I discovered there might be a way to make the foaming soap with regular soap and save lots of money. Easy and super quick.
Ingredients
- An empty bottle of Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand soap
- Any liquid antibacterial soap (I used Bath & Body Works)
Directions
Put about an inch of the liquid soap into the empty foaming bottle.
Pour water into the bottle pretty slowly.
Screw the lid on, and turn the bottle upside down slowly several times. Try not to shake it up because it’ll get too soapy. And you’re finished!
Also, you could just keep pouring a little water into your regular Bath & Body works Foamy Soap whenever it gets a low.
*In these pictures I used a creamy hand soap, which didn’t work as well as when I used a liquid hand soap.

I have been doing this for a few months now, but all the dispensers are starting to stick. IE, they don’t pop back up after you pump them down. It makes it kind of frustrating (esp for Gretchen, who they are so good for, like you mentioned) to use. Have you run into this? Any solutions?
@ Katie- Yes, that has happened w/ ours, too. Not sure what to do about it. If you find out anything, let me know, and I’ll do the same.
I have started throwing them away when they do that
I still buy foaming pumps (Dial and Softsoap are cheaper) and refill them until they start sticking. Also, Bed, Bath and Beyond has yummy smelling soap for only $1. I use the coupons I get in the mail and they’re even cheaper. They don’t foam but they’re still a really good deal.
Also, I’ve never tried this but it’s probably better quality and would end up being worth the $11.50: http://www.pamperedchef.com/ordering/prod_details.tpc?prodId=634&words=suds pump
