As soon as fall arrives, I begin making homemade [wax melts](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/autumn-breeze-wax-melt-recipe?hsLang=en-us), diffuser blends, roll-on perfumes, and natural skincare recipes to match the seasonal shift. I was recently inspired by my dear colleague Heidi’s [autumn spice lotion recipe](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/diy-lotion-recipe?hsLang=en-us) and I thought a foaming hand soap would make a great compliment. Foaming hand soap is a lot easier to make than you might think and I love having my homemade wares in my guest bathroom. It allows me to share my passion for all things DIY and these recipes always seem to open up new conversations and ways of sharing my crafts with friends and family. (It also often gives me ideas for [gift-giving ](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/herbal-gift-ideas?hsLang=en-us)when they express that they like a particular scent or recipe.) For this recipe, I took almost the exact essential oil blend from Heidi’s recipe but swapped the lavender for a bit of pink peppercorn essential oil. It remains one of my favorite essential oils and I’m always looking for an excuse to work with it. This was indeed a winning addition! ## How to Make Foaming Hand Soap: Fall Spice Scent *Makes about 4 ounces of soap.* Ingredients - 4 ounces [organic castile soap](https://mountainroseherbs.com/liquid-castile-soap) - 10 drops [organic myrtle essential oil](https://mountainroseherbs.com/myrtle-essential-oil) - 10 drops [organic clove essential oil](https://mountainroseherbs.com/clove-essential-oil) - 10 drops [organic black pepper essential oil](https://mountainroseherbs.com/black-pepper-essential-oil) - 10 drops [organic cardamom essential oil](https://mountainroseherbs.com/cardamom-essential-oil) - 6 drops [organic pink pepper essential oil](https://mountainroseherbs.com/pink-pepper-oil) Directions 1. Add all ingredients to foaming pump bottle. 2. Shake well. 3. Label with blend and enjoy! Pro Tips - A foaming pump bottle is required to create the foam. You can use this recipe without this type of bottle if the foam isn't important to you. - I made this soap in a small batch so you can easily scale based on your size bottle.    ### Want to make the homemade hand lotion to complete the set? ## [Find Our Autumn Spice Hand Lotion Recipe Here!](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/diy-lotion-recipe?hsLang=en-us) You may also enjoy: - [Sweater Weather Perfume Blend](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/sweater-weather-roll-on-perfume-recipe?hsLang=en-us) - [Autumn Breeze Wax Melt Recipe](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/autumn-breeze-wax-melt-recipe?hsLang=en-us) - [Fall Cocktails: Elder Bellini Recipe with a Mocktail Option](https://search-api.swiftype.com/api/v1/public/installs/pc/RVyV_gSsdszd-mp-ddRQ.json?_st_tracking%255Bdoc_id%255D=5f8fe846196a679eea8ee569&_st_tracking%255Bquery%255D%255Bq%255D=fall&_st_tracking%255Bquery%255D%255Bpage%255D=1&_st_tracking%255Bquery_type%255D=autocomplete&_st_url=https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/elderberry-bellini) [![Autumn Soap PIN](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20images/Autumn%20Soap%20PIN.jpg?width=600&height=900&name=Autumn%20Soap%20PIN.jpg)](https://www.pinterest.com/mtnroseherbs/)   --- Topics: [Aromatherapy](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/aromatherapy), [Natural Body Care](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/natural-body-care), [Herbal Gift Ideas](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/herbal-gift-ideas), [Recipes](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/recipes), [Green Living](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/topic/green-living) ![Jessicka](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Passionflower-1.jpg) ### Written by [Jessicka](https://blog.mountainroseherbs.com/author/jessicka) on October 4, 2023 Jessicka Nebesni is the Senior Marketing Strategist and Herbal Liaison for Mountain Rose Herbs.

Put this in a “double-boiler” over several inches of simmering water until all the ingredients melt together. You can stir once in a while with a wooden (non-reactive) spoon. Add the chamomile hydrosol and aloe vera gel to another glass bowl or measuring cup over another pan of simmering water. You will want to get both bowls to approximately 160 degrees (F.) Once the oils have melted and the temperatures are matched at 160 degrees, pour the oils/wax mixture into one *glass mixing bowl—large enough to allow for mixing. Using a hand mixer or an immersion blender at medium speed, start mixing the oils/wax. Then slowly add the hydrosol and aloe vera mixture and continue mixing/beating for another 3-5 minutes. The lotion will combine and cool until it is approximately 100 degrees. This is when you can add the essential oils and Vitamin E oil. Stir in well! Now, it’s ready to pour into a clean container. The lotion will continue to thicken as it cools.", "prepTime": "PT40M", "cookTime": "PT20M", "totalTime": "", "recipeYield": "" } ```
