The Easy Recipe To Make Soda Free Soap with Melt and Pour.
The "melt and pour", literally "melt and pour", is a simple method to create your soaps.
This method is for those who do not want to spend 3 hours in the kitchen ...
... And even less to handle the chemicals that go into the composition of conventional soaps.
To replace the soda, we use the special "melt and pour" soap base that will be melted.
You can add anything you want: vegetable butter, vegetable oils, fragrances, essential oils or milk powders ...
What I like about this method is that you are not forced to take very precise measurements ... I will reveal my very simple recipe to you.
Ingredients
- 85 g of melt and soap base for
- 20 g of organic argan oil
- 75 drops of organic geranium essential oil
- 75 drops of organic palmarosa essential oil
- 1 drop of vitamin E
- A salad bowl
- A saucepan
- Mussels
- A spatula
- A scale
How to do
1. Sterilize all utensils and wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Cut 85 g of "melt and pour" base into small pieces.
3. In a small salad bowl, pour argan oil and the base.
4. Immerse your salad bowl in a double boiler.
5. When everything is melted and homogeneous, gently incorporate the essential oils and vitamin E.
6. Pour your mixture into small molds.
7. Allow it to solidify by air drying.
8. Once they are dry and hard, gently unmold the soaps.
9. Let them air dry for a few hours.
Results
There you go, your homemade soaps are already ready :-)
It's quick and easy to do, isn't it?
All you have to do is run in the shower!
Like all cosmetics, your homemade soap has an expiration date. You can keep yours for 6 months.
Notes:
- In step 4, you must keep a constant heat so that the base melts gently without stopping rotating with the spatula.
- Instead, choose silicone molds if you have them: your soaps will be easier to unmold.
- For an original gift idea, you can wrap your soaps in cellophane and tie a small colored ribbon around it.
To go into detail a little further, you can create labels on your computer, print them and slide them under the ribbon.
- Of course, you don't have to reproduce this recipe exactly. There are a multitude of ingredients to incorporate. You will choose them according to your desires and needs. Leave room to your imagination!
- If we add vitamin E, it is because it is a liposoluble vitamin (which dissolves in fats), widely used in cosmetics for its antioxidant and regenerating properties.
But not all oils are suitable for such uses. Check before you start!
