I have foaming soap!

Well, sort of... it foams but its kind of watery. Want to make it more foamy. Do I just water down some more? Here's a pic. Sorry its out of focus. I tried 4 times to get one in focus and couldn't! LOL

Maybe cut back the water I don't know how much you used. It could be the recipe too I know my Coco Loco recipe foams a lot because it has coconut oil in it.

Looks pretty good.  Play with the water ratio until you get the consistency you like.

Cool! I generally cut my detergent (yeah, I use the el cheapo plain liquid laundry detergent from Dollar Tree to do dishes), meh at about 66% water to 33% detergent. Half and half seems to thick and, I dunno, "flat" as opposed to "Fluffy". 

Speaking of foamy.... Where DOES one get these foaming dispensers?

Okay I think I added a bit too much water. The ratio seems to be closer to 3 parts water to paste. I believe I did a tad over so it got a little watery.

 

I do have coconut in it. I just have to adjust the water and maybe the recipe until I get the foaminess I like.

 

Sponie-- I got the foamer bottles at SKS.

I just tried this here at work with some soap snot I had from cleanup the other day. It doesn't foam worth a damn. It stays kinda watery. I think I know what to add to "stiffen up" the foam, but I don't seem have any hydroxyethyl cellulose at work at the moment...

@Candybee I verified this a couple of days ago. A little (coughs) KY jelly does stabilize the foam. Ok! Have fun... 

 

Buh-BYE!!!! 

 

 

o.O Sponiebr...
