- 2-4 tablespoons aloe vera gel optional for thickening your hand soap

Notes
While this simple hand soap recipe requires just four ingredients, you're free to add any extra essential oils, carrier oils, and natural fragrances that you like. Make sure to keep the product ratios the same, otherwise, the sky's the limit—so go ahead and mix and match until you find a blend that you enjoy.
If you like your hand soap on the thicker side, then go ahead and add some aloe vera gel when you add the water. Make sure to whisk well to remove any lumps.
