If you're a lover of all things beauty, you've no doubt heard of Holika Holika Aloe Facial Cleansing Foam! And if you haven't…well, it's taking the beauty world by storm! This deep cleanser contains pure aloe vera left juice that turns from gel to foam, and its reviews are stellar!
But, if you're like most people are your beauty arsenal is just a little too crowded and your wallet too thin, no need to fret, because we've come up with a dupe! This homemade aloe cleanser is a replica of the Holika Holika cleanser and (we believe) works just as well! Of course you'll need to get your hands on raw, all natural aloe vera gel, but that's fairly easy to do!
Aloe Facial Cleansing Foam Holika Holika Dupe – Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup distilled water
- 2 tbsp fresh aloe vera gel (see here how to make aloe vera gel)
- 1/2 cup liquid castile soap
- 1 tbsp jojoba oil
- 5 drops watermelon seed oil
- 10 drops cucumber seed oil
- 5 drops lotus essential oil
Directions:
- In a bowl, mix the distilled water and aloe vera gel. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine.
- Pour in castile soap and stir well.
- Add in the essential oils and pour into a clean pump bottle.
- Use morning and night, as you would any other cleanser!
Notes:
- We in no way do we claim that this will be exactly like the Holika Holika Aloe Facial Cleansing Foam, but merely a homemade replication (we did our best!).
- We realize most people don't have watermelon seed oil, cucumber seed oil, or lotus essential oil, and initially the cost will be great, but once purchased, you'll be able to make SO many amazing DIY beauty products (including this awesome cleanser!).
- This cleanser should work wonders for all skin types, especially those with oily/acne prone skin.
- The amazing scent of watermelon seed oil and cucumber seed oil will leave your skin smelling divine!
- Gentle enough to use every day!

Hi Gingerina,
If you don’t have the watermelon and cucumber seed oils, you can leave them out. They’re only there to replicate the scent of the Holika Holika Aloe Facial Cleansing Foam. You can add essential oils of your choice, or none at all 🙂
finally got around to gathering all the ingredients for this recipe and it smells sooo soo good!! Plus, it leaves my skin sparkling clean 🙂 Thank you!
Thank you LaLene, we’re glad you like it 🙂
