Currently, it is unlikely to be difficult to buy absolutely everything that you want, if only there were funds for this. This applies equally to soap. Soap is presented in huge quantities: different forms, different smells, different consistencies and different manufacturers. It is sold in any stores and is designed for any wallet. You just need to choose.
But recently, there has been a trend of abandonment of soap cooked in industrial conditions in favor of cooked with one's own hand. This is due to the return of fashion to handmade products, as well as the fact that consumers are absolutely not sure about the quality of soap, what is included in its composition, where and how it was produced and how it will affect the skin. That is why more and more women and girls are looking for soap recipes at home, because then they are sure of the quality of the ingredients and that the soap is absolutely safe.
In addition, brewed and even signed soap of own production will be an excellent gift for any reason and even without it. Beautifully packaged, thinning a delicate aroma, it will delight a person of any age, because it is unlikely that anyone will remain indifferent when he is presented with an author's soap, made especially for him. Soap making at home from a favorite and interesting hobby can develop into a certain source of income: soap can be brewed for sale, by order. Soap making recipes at home can be easily found on the Internet, or compiled yourself, based on how various essential oils or herbs affect various human organs.
Soap can be brewed in three main ways. The first way is to boil the soap from a special base, which is then added herbs, aromatic oils, special dyes.
The second method is the most elementary. Baby soap is taken, rubs or finely cut with a sharp knife. Baby soap is better to take, because it does not contain different additives and dyes. It is also better to take it without adding a string, chamomile or aloe. After the soap is rubbed, it must be melted. You can use a microwave, but you will need to check the temperature every 30 seconds with a special thermometer, and this temperature should not exceed 60 degrees. This is somewhat problematic, so it’s better to resort to the old but sure method and melt it in a water bath. To do this, take a saucepan, fill it with water and put a smaller container in it, with grated soap. Put all this on the fire and wait until the soap is completely melted and has pieces.
So, the soap is melted. After reading the recipes of soap making at home and choosing the most suitable, you can proceed to its implementation. Add aromatic and essential oils, certain herbs, natural ingredients such as coffee, cinnamon, vanilla, peanuts, etc. The main thing is not to overdo it, especially with essential oils, as it can cause allergies and burns. Usually, soap making recipes at home contain recommendations on how much this or that component needs. Next, choose a dye: you can special, you can food.
We pour the mass into molds, which can be in the form of hearts, flowers, insects, seashells and so on. Also, forms can be with inscriptions, it is important to choose the appropriate option in advance. If you did not have time to purchase a special mold, then you can use boxes of baby curds, appetizers, sandwiches (washed and rinsed with boiling water in advance). After all the actions done, we send the soap to freeze in the refrigerator. After the soap hardens, you should dry it a couple of days and that’s all - you can use it!
The third method is the most difficult, it requires special alkalis, oils and fats. This option is suitable for those who have already mastered simple methods and recipes for home soap making.
