Notes
You can substitute jojoba, rosehip, sweet almond, or any other carrier oil that stays liquid at room temperature.
As far as soap dispensers go, I usually just save a few plastic foaming dispensers and repurpose them. But you can find a bunch of different options online, such as these glass dispensers and these plastic ones.
