lather
Shaving cream bubbles
Lather is the frothy foam produced when soap meets water and agitation—the white suds you work up washing hands or shampooing hair.
Horses and other animals produce lather as sweat during exertion: The horse was in a lather after the race.
To lather is to produce or apply this foam.
Figuratively, in a lather means agitated or anxious: Don't get yourself in a lather over it.
