Instructions
Step 1
We take a soap base and cut it into small pieces. It is best to use an English or German stem. It is of very good quality and soap from it will not cause allergic reactions.
Step 2
We melt the soap base in a water bath or in the microwave.
To do this, pour water into a saucepan and put a container with a soap base in it. Sometimes you need to stir so that there are no lumps. The main thing is not to bring the base to a boil, since after that everything will have to be thrown away.
In order to melt the base in the microwave, you just need to put the container in it for 1-2 minutes.
Step 3
The moment the base melts, the base oil can be added to it. Approximately 1-3 teaspoons per 100 grams of base. You can also add various dyes. Their number depends on what they are made of.
Step 4
Remove the soap base from the stove and add perfume or essential oils. You can also add various ingredients. For example, coffee or strawberry beans, as well as clay. Dried flowers look very nice in soap.
Step 5
Pour the base into the mold. The mold can be silicone or plastic. It all depends on your preference. Sprinkle everything with alcohol so that no bubbles form.
Step 6
We are waiting for the base to dry. This process will take approximately 20-25 minutes at room temperature.
Step 7
We take out the ready-made soap from the mold. Let the soap dry a little more, and then wrap it in foil or gift wrapping.
