Cook a handmade soap at home

If you ever try to use the "home" soap, you will not want to buy soap from the shop. Your personal soap is flavored , tender, based on natural ingredients which everyone of us chooses for himself. Handmade soap is not stored for a long time because of the natural ingredients are perishable . The manufacturers add various preservatives to the soap, therefore shop soap is long-lasting and does not spoil.

Remelting method from a baby soap suits for every beginner soap-maker, even for a teenager, if soap-maker will observe the basic safety rules. 

In the start choose baby soap without additives and odor.

Rub the soap on a small grater.

Put soap chips in any mug or saucepan, enamel or clay. This saucepan you need to put on the water bath in a container that has larger diameter, where the water boils weakly. Baby soap does not melt itself, so you should add a little hot water.

Usually we use 4-5 tablespoons of water for 50 grams of soap. You have to stir soap chips using spoon. To make chips melt better, you need to add a little sugar or honey - at the tip of a tablespoon.

When the consistency of our new soap will be like thick cream, 

you can add our natural ingredients.

In our new soap we add a different base oils (grape seed oil, sea buckthorn oil, olive oil, peach kernel oil, etc.), vitamins A and E. All other: essential oils, herbs, citrus juice, cereal, grated rind citrus, grated cinnamon, ground coffee, cocoa powder and other natural ingredients we add when saucepan is removed from the water bath.

Put everything planned to the saucepan, quickly stir and until mass does not have time to thicken, pour into the mold. You can decorate the top of the soap with herbs, slices of citrus peel, cinnamon sticks, coffee beans ...

This fragrant soap you can use for yourself or give to the close person.

If you want to keep the soap some time, then you need to wrap it in a wrapper paper. Do not wrap your soap in the plastic package, it will rot and due to presence of natural components will simply mold. The best of all is to start using soap immediately.

That's one of the recipes that my daughter-teenager amounted:

Soap scrub "Coffee and Lemon"

Soap - 50 grams 

Peach kernel oil - 5 grams 

Avocado oil - 5 grams 

Cocoa butter - 5 grams 

Sugar or honey - 2 grams 

After removal from the water bath, the mass should be divided into two parts. Add ground coffee and ground cinnamon to the first part. Add flavor or citrus oil (lemon, orange, grapefruit) - 5-6 drops and 1 tablespoon of sea buckthorn oil (for coloring in yellow) into the second part of the mass.

Fill a brown coffee mass into the mold at first, after a few minutes add a citrus yellow mass on a top.

Decorate the soap with cinnamon sticks and dried lemon.
