Homemade Peppermint Foaming Hand Soap with Free Printable Labels

Every year for as long as I can remember, I have made a bee line straight to Bath and Body Works as soon as the Christmas spirit hits me. They have those crazy foaming hand soaps that smell like Christmas and they are usually on some crazy kind of sale where you buy 3 and you get one free…then you get to the checkout and your bill is like $427 for 4 dang containers of foaming hand soap…and you buy them anyway because you just waited in line for eternity and you just can’t leave the pepperminty hand soap there, right? WRONG! Folks, you can make your own and save that money! And just in case you are thinking that it won’t be near as cute as theirs, I’m supplying you with some adorable Peppermint Hand Soap Labels so your soap can be cute too! Whoop!

    Love, love the peppermint. I bought foaming soaps at Dollar Tree. Dump the soap in a container and stick under the sink. Refill containers with well now Peppermint. Gift to my sisters and friends. All that soap under the sink takes a yrear to reuse in my bathroom for the rest of the year. Win, win. Thanks.

          You didn’t, it just doesn’t have a bunch of chemicals in it to thicken it. If you’d like it a bit thicker, you can add 1 tsp. of vegetable glycerin and shake well.

    Love this idea, Jess! I’m just wondering if you’ve had any trouble with the oil etching the plastic dispenser? I had that happen with an acrylic glass that I poured some water with essential oil into and let it sit all day. Maybe there’s not enough oil in your recipe. Just wondering…

      I haven’t…probably because it isn’t super concentrated. To be honest, I haven’t had an issue with the oils causing damage to any of my plastic spray bottles either.

      Citrus oils will do this, did you happen to use a citrus oil?

    Would distilled water be a better choice than plain tap water?

    Thank-you so much for this recipe. I have an empty foaming hand soap container and I just made some of your delightful peppermint foaming hand soap – I had all the ingredients just waiting for your inspiration. I just ordered your foaming dispensers and will make some of these for gifts in three fragrances (great offer on Amazon with these for Castile soap too!, although I have the same peppermint version of Dr. Bronner’s that you show for now, maybe this other version would be good for the lemon or orange fragrances). Thanks for the lovely label too! Two recommendations: (1) Could you create a label template that we could modify if we want to make other fragrances like lemon, orange? Also (2) It would be helpful if you would include the amount of water to be added as we may have different size containers. It looks like the one you used is 250 ml.

    Can I add hand sanitizer to this recipe? If so, how much do you suggest? Thanks for all your ideas. I look forward to checking my emails on the outside chance you have done something new and unique!

      Hi, Ruth! I don’t think I would add hand sanitizer to it because the alcohol in the hand sani may change the consistency of the foaming soap. There is really no need for the hand sani either since the Castile soap is there. Hope this helps! ~Jess

    I never cease to be amazed at your recipes. I use one in the shower; one for the microwave, and on and on. AND they work!This peppermint mix is super neat but I have to order the foaming hand soap dispensers so it may be a New Years present. Last minute Lizzie here!

      Did you shake it? Because it doesn’t contain chemical binders, the ingredients sometimes separate…just give it a shake.

        Do you need to shake it every time you use the pump??? Thank you!

    Since the Peppermint in the Anti-Bacterial Cleaner is a natural antibacterial, then wouldn’t the same thing be true in the Peppermint Foaming Hand Soap? (I truly enjoy your recipes and free print outs, THANK YOU!!!) I am preparing to give several people the Peppermint Anti-Bacterial Cleaner in those darling containers you recommend for Christmas. And, this “PABC” makes a nice gift for those who cut my hair, give manicures, etc., because I would rather do this than candy or cookies. Thank you, Jessica, for your creativity, hard work and great website. Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Wonderful New Year!

    When you made your Peppermint Sugar Scrub did you use coarse white sugar or granulated?

      Thank you, Yvonne! I used regular granulated sugar for my sugar scrub. You can use a more coarse sugar, but I think it makes it a bit too hard to work with when using the actual scrub. Hope that makes sense. Have a beautiful day, Jess

      I typically just put a patch of contact paper over mine to make them waterproof…it works easier than anything else I’ve tried! Thank you for the kind words!
