I keep reading about people adding water to their soap to be more frugal, but the problem is that when you add water to a bottle of soap, it breeds Pseudomona bacteria. If you want to keep from breeding germs in your soap, you will need to add sterile water to your soap.

I think that many tips call for distilled water for exactly this reason. I believe that boiled tap water should work as well.
In my house, I use the dilution tip because we go through soap very quickly, everyday or so I "make" new soap, I don't know if in that time I need to use distilled water, but I have been anyway.
I would have never thought that adding tap water would add bacteria. Thanks. I will change my ways for sure!
Thank you! I glad someone finally said something!
Here's an idea, just use the soap as intended. Soap is super cheap. Save money on things that actually cost money.
I beauty splash skincare use sterile water in my soap production and it comes out waoooo
