Dr. B's and Foaming Soap Dispenser

[vegamomma]

Ok so I am going to try Dr. B's in a foaming hand dispenser but I am unsure of how much Dr. B's to water ratio? Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I reused a foam soap dispenser from the store, about 4 inches tall. It worked. I would just experiment. It should be mostly water though.

ETA: guess my original post didn't make much sense...lol I think I was tired that day.
That was supposed to say that I use a squirt of Dr. B's (2-3 TB), the rest water. Sorry.

I use a couple of old dial foamy soap dispensers and I put about an inch of Bronners and the rest water. I totally just eyeball it. Occasionally I'll get too much and and it gets a little clogged up, but that's really the worst that's ever happened.

HTH!

Tiny squirt Dr. B's, the rest water. Be careful not to fill to the top, leave enough room for the neck of the dispenser.

I've been experimenting, but I think it's about 8oz water to about a tablespoon of Dr. B's. I can tell when I didn't add enough - it feels like I'm washing my hands with water, and the foam just disappears quickly. When I do add enough, the lather spreads well, and my hands feel very moistened. I'm so glad I made the switch - I haven't needed to moisturize my hands since then, and my excema has gotten so much better!

This is great info ... is it gentle on the hands? Which Dr. B do you use -- the plain, unscented one? Any OK?

We use the baby mild for the whole family - LOVE IT!

I'm glad to find this thread! One of my Dial foaming dispensers is about to run out & I had planned to refill it with Dr. Bronners. I thought that it should be a somewhat watery solution in order to work, but didn't know the proportions.

I have lavender and baby mild, and they're both gentle. I think the scented ones just have essential oils added, and you need very little to give it a nice scent, so I think any would be OK.
