How To Make Hand soap From Bar Soap
Here is a great way to save money on hand soap. As couponers, we tend to come across MANY deals making bars of soap FREE after coupons. However, it’s a little more difficult to find free handsoap. Here is a great way to save some money and make your own handsoap! From all of the previous comments I have received-it seems IVORY soap works the VERY best!!
Supplies needed: 1 bar of Ivory soap, pan, grater, 2 cups of water
Grate the bar of soap into pan
Add 2 cups of water and melt over medium heat
Allow to cool..you can fill two to three handsoap dispensers
See how EASY that is!! Leave a comment if you try it and let us know how yours turned out!

I absolutely loved this idea, and tried it immediately when I found it! I just wanted to comment that I found the concentration with 2 cups of water to be much to thick, I tried it a few more times, and got all the way up to 10 cups of water before I was happy with the consistency. Store the extra in a milk jug (or whatever), and it’s even more frugal this way : )
I just tried this and mine turned out perfect. Thanks for that tip! I’ll never buy hand soap again!!
Wow, this is so smart! I’m going to try this and share it with my friends. What a great way to save money!
I think I’m going to have to give it a try – we’re almost out of hand soap so it’s perfect timing!!!
Wonder if you could use those last bits of bar soap so there would be no waste?
Yes you can use last bits of bar soap to make this!
I tried it & loved it! Thank you!!!!
This is such a great idea! Gotto try this very soon, I’m almost out so it’s time! I’ll let you know!

I was able to score 30 free bars of Ivory – so I will be doing this with them. So excited!
You can actually use up to a gallon of distilled water with an 8oz bar of soap! I also add a tablespoon of liquid glycerin to mine!
doese anyone add any essential oils for smell? if so what are the best ones?
also do you ever have to shake it up or stir it again because the consistancy changes
Liquid soap can be so expensive, thanks for the great idea!
Awesome!! I am going to try this. We have a ton of bar soap, but hubby likes hand soap. Thanks
Wow, that is awesome! I’m going to totally try this out. We spend too much on handsoap.
This is so great! We always run out of hand soap and I had never even thought to make it from bar soap. Thanks for sharing!
I hate grating hard soap stuff ( i did it to make laundry soap)
So because its Ivory Soap and if you put a bar in the microwave it makes “snow” I’m thinking… instead of grating it, just making ivory soap “snow” and then adding that to water to melt it down.
I will try it, and come back and tell you if it’s a big fail or the perfect plan!
WOW!!!!!! SO AMAZING…I TRIED IT & I LOVE IT!!! THANKS FOR SHARING
For some reason mine turned into a slimy Gel. I tried making an entire gallon jug with about 3 bars of soap…….. any suggestions to save it or is this a start over?????
Has anyone tried milk instead of water, just wondering
I don’t have Ivory…but have a boatload of Irish Spring. Will that work?
Probably? Haven’t tried it!
