Foaming soap dispensers were invented about 15 years ago by a Dutch company called Airspray. The best way for consumers to get a foaming soap dispenser is to buy one at a retail store. Some empty foamers are sold, but most come with soap already in them. My personal favorite in the US are the foamers from a company called Method. Their foamers are available for $3-4 from most Target stores. The solution for foaming soap is far more dilute than regular liquid soaps. If you start with a solution 10% liquid soap and 90% distilled water, you will be pretty close. I recommend distilled water because you'll get consistent repeatable results with that. Foaming soap is always white; the only reason you'll get some other color is if the soap is over-concentrated. You CANNOT make foaming soap from a lotion. It will not work. If you try, the lotion will splatter and sputter.
You can use regular liquid soap & water to make foaming soap. You want the mixture to be about 20-30% soap, and 70-80% water. (I've read different suggestions on how much soap you should use.)
I've also read you should probably not use moisturizing soap - it can clog the pump.
You'll need one of those foaming soap pumps in order to make the soap foam, but you could certainly use an old one after rinsing it out.

The foam caused by the soap is not that affective in breaking up the fat molecules, but the soap which breaks the water tension. Water molecules have a habit of falling in upon themselves. The soap loosens up the water to make it softer.
It interferes with the foaming of soap and detergents.
Yes. Take one teaspoon of dish liquid--any kind--and add it to water. Fill up your foam dish liquid dispenser and shake. That's all there is to it. Saves lots of money.
An answer to this query can be found with the help of the fine people at Discovery Health.They explain that there are "foaming agents" that make soap and shampoo foam, This is caused by sulfates reaction chemically within the formula of the personal hygiene product of your choice.
From first hand experience, foaming hand soap will work in a non-foaming dispenser. Although the soap will come out as regular soap, not foam. The foaming soap will work as regular soap, just not foaming soap.
Foaming soap is made when a solid soap concentrate is mixed with air to form a foam, almost like shaving cream. The foaming soap is easier to rub all over your hands and has a larger surface area to attract more dirt.
The foaming capacity of soap is determined by how much detergent is in it. Less detergent means little foaming while more detergent will have more foam.

Sodium carbonate has a good effect on foaming action of soap. The tap water with which soap is agitated to form soap contains ca and magnesium salts dissolved in it.Sodium Carbonate will make it precipitate.As a result Sodium Carbonate will increase the rate of dissapearance of foam. GOKUL MURALI
