Consider the stages of making natural soap from an organic soap base without adding dyes, chemicals and harmful substances. The use of such soap is especially important for people with sensitive skin, young children, allergy sufferers, as well as those who value their health.
It is necessary
- Main Ingredients:
- - soap base "Organic";
- - any base oil (for example, olive);
- - soap mold (silicone or plastic);
- - glass jar (or heat-resistant glass);
- - knife;
- - a stick for mixing the base.
- Additional ingredients:
- - alcohol or vodka.
Instructions
Step 1
Let's take an organic soap base (it's called "Organic" or "Organic" - as natural as possible, sold in a specialty soap store). To make it easier to melt, cut it into pieces, then place it in a glass jar (or heat-resistant glass) and put it in the microwave. The melting time depends on the amount of base. To begin with, it is recommended to set for 25-30 seconds, then - according to the situation.
Step 2
Add a little base oil (olive oil, almond oil, cottonseed oil, etc.) to the melted base. Dose: 1/3 teaspoon per 100 grams of base. Mix with a stick.
Step 3
In the next step, soap makers usually add essential oils, fragrances, food colors, etc. Essential oil dosage: 3-5 drops per 100 grams of base. In soap making, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, honey, milk, cream, herbs, clay, tea leaves, citrus peel, etc. are widely used.
Step 4
For a scrubbing soap, add ground coffee or oatmeal. For decoration, you can sprinkle glitter on the bottom of the mold. Please note that all components are added a little at a time, in small doses, otherwise this will affect the quality of the soap.
Step 5
When choosing additional components, take into account the type of skin, the possibility of allergic reactions, individual taste preferences. Stir with a stick.
Step 6
Pour the base into a mold. The mold can be silicone (then you can not lubricate it beforehand), or plastic (grease it with olive oil). If bubbles form on the surface, sprinkle them with alcohol or vodka.
Step 7
Let the soap harden for 20-25 minutes at room temperature.
Step 8
We remove the finished solid soap from the mold. It is easier to remove soap from a silicone mold than from a plastic one (to facilitate the process, you can put a plastic mold in the refrigerator for 5 minutes).
Step 9
Let the prepared soap dry and wrap it in plastic wrap.
