US hand soap came out foaming and I want some.

[VanellopeVonSchweetz99]

Visited the states a few years back with DD and we've just been reminiscing abut how we both loved this one minor thing:
The seemingly bog standard liquid hand soap in the loo at a house party we were invited to came out as lather. Foam. I think it was palmolive or nivea, a fairly large pump bottle.
It was a lush feeling and we want some. Preferably as shower gel too.

Is it a mechanical thing with the actual pump or is it a different formula of soap? Can we get some in the UK?
Many thanks in advance.

We use it, just Google foam hand soap. Lots available method cleaning does a good one. I know what you mean, I only like foam shower gel, as do my kids.

Try Bath and Body Works! They have a foaming soap. You can buy it on Next now.

Imperial leather foam burst is the shower gel

Method hand soap is foaming soap. It is lovely.

Thank you!
Actual brand names very appreciated.

Definitely a thing in the UK. My DS used foaming soap at nursery and he's Year 6 now.

Bath and body works foaming hand soap. You can buy it via next in the uk. Or at Westfield White City I think.

I googled but lost my nerve, because they are all foaming-ish once you rub, right?

We bought a couple of soap pumps on Amazon that turn any handsoap into foam.

The bath and body works ones come out as actual foam.

Top tip, once you get the foaming bottle, you can turn any hand soap into foaming by seriously diluting it and putting it in the same bottle.

These ones.

We've had them for years. You just need to add a few drops of water to any handsoap

@GlobalCitz thank you! I don't suppose you might have the link please? Love a recommendation.

I am just back from Japan and brought home some bottles of foaming hand soap where the foam comes out in the shape of a paw print.

Essential stuff that.

It is the mechanism, if you're interested. The plunger thingy has a spiral thread, so it whips the product up a bit on its way out. You can buy them cheaply - "foaming pump dispenser" or something like that - but some of them might be too weak to smoosh handwash. Now you've got brand names, buy one with a spiral dispenser installed by the manufacturer 🙂

Method in the bottles shaped like this

'Bath and body works' do quite a few that come out foamy. I received a gift from a friend who was visiting from Chicago, she introduced me to the foamy hand wash, it smelt like a summer holiday.

Another vote for method

Yes. I used to be a childminder and did this with it as it was much easier for the children to use.

@MaraScottie I desperately want a paw one

Yep, we like the method ones, you have to get the right shape bottle as the teardrop/ pear shaped bottles don't have the foaming pump. Then once I've finished it, I refill with diluted cheaper soap.

I hear you, I bought some after a holiday in America - it’s a little thing that brings me a little joy.

We quite like the Dove with som moisturizer in, will it still work?
