Dial foaming refill

[Georgeandstella]

Hello
Why does the Dial foaming hand wash container only use Dial refill soap?
I used the ouroilyhouse formula (below) for foaming hand wash (1/4 C Castile, 15 drops EO, and fill with water)…and it doesn’t work in the Dial dispenser-is anyone familiar with this?
Thank you

I've used these with all kinds of refill recipes with no issues. Which castile are you using? It looks a little light - are you sure it's not already been diluted?

And yours works in the Dial-brand pump?

Perhaps it’s the essential oils?

I use this Castile soap:

That's really weird. Try increasing the ratio of castile to something like 1/3 castile, 2/3 water.

Good advice. I'd also recommend measuring by weight rather than volume.

I just read the product description on that website. It reads:

Castile Liquid Soap Base - Organic​

Make your own liquid soap easily and without using dangerous chemicals with this organic castile soap base! Simply add your chosen scent

Your castile base is already diluted, so it's not like the castile paste you'd be making from scratch which needs further dilution. So I'm pretty sure you're adding too much water to it, it may not need to be diluted at all.

As a side note, homemade castile is a lot cheaper and more efficient to store. I make a 1 L jar and it lasts me all year because with real castile paste you only need to dilute a few Tbsp in water to fill a pump like this.

Hello and thank you. Just curious, What do you use your Castile paste for?

I dilute it with water and then use it in a foaming soap pump similar to yours, as handwash.
