Dr Bronner's in a foaming pump question

Is the resulting foam soapy?  I made some and DH doesn't like it because it isn't soapy slippery.  I added more Dr Bronners but it still doesn't have that soap feel.  Is that how it is supposed to be or maybe I need to add more Dr Bronners.

Re: Dr Bronner's in a foaming pump question

  • DH doesn't like that it's not slippery, either. I do about 1 Tbsp soap to 10 Tbsp water in my pump, and I like it just fine--it does not feel like traditional pump soap because it's *not* traditional soap, and that is just something I've come to live with.
  • i have heard of adding some vegetable glycerin to it to give it the slippery feel. i think jebuell has tried that. i haven't i am still working on my old soap.

  • Mine is soapy and foamy.

    A lot could do with your water.  If you have hard water, it won't feel as slippery - you could use distilled water if you want.  However, that slippery feeling you feel from most soaps is from the chemicals you are trying to avoid in it most of the time or the soft water.  It doesn't necessarily mean the soap works better.

     I actually just posted a blog about this: http://grasso-isms.blogspot.com/2010/03/foam-soap.html
