We recently snagged this recycled glass soap pump from Target for $9 and we couldn’t be more excited about our sleek Restoration Hardware-esque purchase.
It’s a little bit industrial and a little bit classic and it may just help us avoid the flu this year (hand washing just got more fun). In fact we love it so much, we grabbed a second one for our other bathroom, and now we have two refillable soap pumps made from recycled glass full of Dr. Bronner’s Organic Almond Castille Soap (our favorite) that make sudsing up a little swankier.
We can’t find it on target.com but we’re crossing our fingers that your local Tarjay will come through with the goods. And it’s not in the Home Design Event area, it’s right in the regular bathroom section (although there were other recycled glass soap dispensers over there last time we stopped in and picked up our beloved gourd lamp). Happy hunting!

I got that same pump a few months back! It is way better than the last one we had. Love the bottles slight green color from the recycled glass.
LJK says
I love it! I’m going to have to swing by Target on my way home and check out their selection. I’ve been looking for some soap pumps for my kitchen and I’m happy to hear that Target has some reasonably priced, good looking ones available.
Live a Colorful Life says
I’m on my way out the door right now to hopefully snag a couple of them. Love, love, LOVE Tarjay….and you guys too!
momomatic says
I like it! It looks like something out of an old-timey apothecary shop.
Rachel says
Where do you get the soap you love so much? I would love to try it myself! A lot of soaps irritate my skin.
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Rachel,
You’ll never guess where we get our Dr. Bronner’s liquid soap. Why Target of course! It’s not in the soap aisle though, it’s actually in the eco/green aisle near the makeup with the Burt’s Bee’s stuff. It’s usually located on a bottom-ish shelf to the right of the Burt’s Bees stuff, all lined up and colorful (you can see the green and red and blue labels from a mile away). There are lots of scents to choose from (we love almond but there’s also peppermint, citrus, etc) and since they’re made from vegetable oils they’re fabulously mild. Perfect for sensitive skin.
Oh and you should also check out the Dr. Bronner’s lip balm (also on the bottom-ish row located in a basket) – it’s another all natural product that we’re crazy about. Hope it helps! Happy hunting…
xoxo,
Sherry
KK says
Does this one squirt your shirt instead of your hand like your old one? ;)
YoungHouseLove says
Poor KK, one of our many soaped-shirt victims. Is was this very tendency to misfire that made me put my foot down and demand that we find a new soap dispenser. Fortunately we snagged a good lookin’ one that aims right into your palm.
And it should be noted that you weren’t the only visitor attacked by our old dispenser. I think the entire DIY crew left with soapy shirts.

Kelly says
Man..it never fails….you guys and I have such similar taste! And in this instance – we bought the same soap dispenser! Hubby and I love it and actually showed it off recently in our bathroom redo on my blog!
DJ says
You guys really have an eye for things. When I shop in a large store, such as Target, my brain just shuts down. Too much stuff, too many people. I can’t see how anything could work in my home.
But I LOVED the way the soap pump looked in your photo. Our local Target had two left when I stopped by this evening and I bought them. They look wonderful in the bathrooms, but I never would have noticed them on my own.
Caitlin says
I found two left at my Target tonight and love them! I was so glad that they were still there! Thanks!
Jersey Girl in DC says
We also have this same soap dispenser! I liked it so much that I dragged my hubby back to Target to pick up a second one for our guest bath. I love them and they look great in both of our bathrooms!
Ann Marie says
I picked one up at Target yesterday. Love it! Love it! Thanks Sherry!
Jill says
Hi! Let me start by saying I love your taste and love this blog…..I am addicted!! I am on the fence about this soap pump. I have a brushed stainless tissue box cover and not sure how it would look. Do you think it will work? btw– I got rid of the tumbler in my bathroom. My hubby, daughter and I never used it anyway. Thanks!

YoungHouseLove says
Hey Jill,
My initial reaction was “go for it” and John actually weighed in and agreed so that’s two solid votes that the new soap dispenser will totally work with the existing brushed tissue box. Since they’re not going to live directly next to each other and the new dispenser has so little metal on it (the main feature will be the gorge recycled glass) we think it’ll look lovely.
We’ve never been super matchy about those things (for example in the kitchen we have a chrome accented pendant light above the sink with a brushed nickel faucet & hardware below). Just like different tones of white and tan can be layered in a room, we think the same can be true for metals- especially when they’re both in the chrome/nickel family- brushed or not!
xo,
Sherry
Jill says
Thanks guys! I will go out today and snag one myself.
Keep up the great work….you guys rock!
Thanks again,
Jill
Niki says
Howdy again,
I went out to my local target tonight and much to my dismay they didn’t have them. I asked a few associates but they said they have never seen anything like it. I have also searched all the sites I could think of and google for them, no luck. The people at target said they are about to totally redo the bathroom area and that maybe they will be in with the new stuff. We are kinda slow getting cool stuff here in the midwest :-D So… Fingers crossed!
Niki
YoungHouseLove says
Good luck! They only hit our stores for the first time about a month ago so I think there’s a strong posibility that they’ll make their way out to you…

I have to tell you that my mother in law and I have bought all of the soap dispensers at our local Target, twice. =) She had to have one first after seeing it on here. Then she raved and raved about it. I went to get one… but, behold! She had bought 4 more for her other bathrooms and kitchen sink. So, I waited until more came in and bought them all up, too.
Thanks for sharing. =)
Niki says
Just thought I’d update.
I went to Target today and much to my surprise they had the pumps in! I have to say I am now the proud owner of one of the cutest soap pumps I’ve ever seen. Thanks for the post!
Niki
Laura says
I saw these at Target the other day (they were $12.99 – I guess thats the California mark-up!).
They are super cute and I brought 2 home with me.
Jessica says
Hi guys: quick question, do you dilute your dr. bronner’s for hand soap? if so, what is the ratio you use? thanks!
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Jessica,
We actually use it as-is and it works perfectly for us. It’s a pretty mild formula so it feels thin and light without any water added. Hope it helps!
xoxo,
Sherry
Gigi says
Hi! Does anyone know if these are still around? Thanks :0).
YoungHouseLove says
Hey Gigi,
I heard about two weeks ago that they’re still around. Happy hunting…

Wendy says
I just got one today! They are still around!! I was setting myself up for them being long gone but they were there and I was so excited! Yayyyyyy! I love it!!
Bev says
Just wondering — I thought the Dr. Bronner’s label says it will clog pump dispensers. Have you had that problem?
YoungHouseLove says
Good question! We actually use a paperclip once a month or so to clean out the nose of our soap pumps but other than that it’s flawless. Hope it helps!

Brianna says
I got one of these last week! I love it! I’m really tempted to buy one for the bathroom too (current one is in the kitchen.) So sad though because here in Austin, it’s bumped up to 13 dollars. Not a major jump but still! lol.
Julie says
I just grabbed one of these since seeing it on your blog (I’m making my way through the archives to catch up). It’s got a “new low price” of $8.99, down from $12.99 originally here in western NY. So it used to be more expensive than your version, but we’ve caught up now (just an FYI for any WNY readers!)
jessica says
LOVE that soap pump! We’re actually on our third here at our home, the first one we had broke(the pumping action) & we tried to fix it but alas, it was lost. So I went out & bought 2 more! One for the kitchen & one for the bathroom! & I still love them! Also, as of a couple of weeks ago(at least in IL) they are still selling them in the bathroom department at Target, I almost bought a back up, but restrained myself! :)
Caryn says
Hey! So, we bought a Target soap dispenser recently (not this one) when we redid our tiny master bath and we are so frustrated with it. We’ve discovered the soap is rusting inside it so you get discolored soap and a nasty metallic smell on your hands. Have you had problems with this one? We are really hoping to find a better one.
Thanks!
Caryn
Meleah says
Grrrr… Our Target doesn’t have them. I need to do a city wide search of all the Targets. I’ve been looking for something like this forever! Thanks for posting where you got it. :)
Peggy says
I *just* saw one of these in a local coffee shop restroom and thought “I need that. I wonder if the people working will know where it came from?” I didn’t ask, but now I know & I’m now on the look out. Living in the hometown of Target sometimes has it’s perks (like Mom’s discount…)
Amanda says
your beloved soap pumps are back at Target…three colors available!! I saw them there last night.. thinking about the green one to match a tumbler I already have!!
YoungHouseLove says
Awesome. Thanks for the tip!

Selina says
Just an FYI – these are back at Target again! I bought two of them a few days ago. I was so excited that they still carried them!! YAY!
Mary says
Yesterday I told my mom she needed a swanky new soap pump for her swanky new granite countertops. I searched your blog for soap dispensers, went to Target, and aha! found this same exact one (though it was $12.99, not $9). It looks so wonderful! Thank you! =)
Jennifer Enslin says
Strange question…I have the same soap dispenser and now instead of sucking the soap up and out into my hand, it spits it down back into the bottle.I’ve taken it apart to try and fix it but I am stumped. I love it so much but it’s not functional anymore. Any suggestions?!
PS. it’s not clogged, I tried that too =/
YoungHouseLove says
How about watering down the soap with about 30% water? I do that with my Dr Bronners and it pumps perfectly (used to get sort of weird and squirty).
