How could I formulate hand wash tablets?

by | Jun 5, 2026

🗳️ From The Question Box: “Hi Marie. Recently, I have been making my own foaming hand soap using your formulations. I love them but in trying to save space, I’d like to be able to make soap tablets that I can store many of in a jar for later use. That way I can add to the container and tablet when I need to refill my soap dispenser. I know I can’t just eliminate the water in the formulation to yield a dry tablet, but I’m wondering if you can guide me to how I can convert a water-based formula to a dry one. Thanks.” – Dina
