Make Your Own Natural Soap- Be Eco Friendly
by guest on Dec.06, 2009, under Blog
The modern world has taught the younger generation to be more environment-friendly and cost effective. One way to be eco friendly is can be making your own natural soap at home. All you need to do this is to collect some natural ingredients and you can choose your own fragrance as well.
Producing your own natural soap can satisfy you in two ways. You can contribute a little in saving the environment from the chemical pollution that is being occurred when soaps are being produced industrially. And you also can have peace of mind that the ingredients that are being used are all natural.
Making soaps might be time consuming but if you can make a handful of soap at a time it will be beneficial for your skin care and your pocketbook. You can use one of these three oils; like palm oil, olive or coconut oil as ingredients. You have to mix up this oil with water and lie. All you have to do is heating lye and water separately from the oil. When both lye and water meet the desired temperature they will combine together. You would want to stir or whisk this mixture until you are able to see stir lines on the top.
This is almost similar to making a pancake batter and the batter forms a raised line on top when a spoon is drugged across it. That is the consistency you are looking for. Once this consistency is fulfilled you would want to add the natural ingredients you have collected to make the soap your own. For instance, you can add beeswax to make it smooth or even cocoa butter to soften the skin. To make a successful natural soap though, you want to make sure to only use natural ingredients.
Once you have instilled the additives that you collected then you have to pour the soap mixture into pre-oiled molds. Normally the molds are brick shaped or tubular and you have to make sure that they have made greasy with a vegetable oil otherwise at the time of removing the soaps from the molds they may no slide out easily without breaking. The soap mixture has to be left in the molds for about 24 hours.
During this period of time the soap making procedure will experience many changes, for example, it may darken in color and begin to bubble and might get too warm. The changes you will see are all natural when the lye/water/oil mixture is set to rest after being emulsified together. This period of time neutralizes the soap and makes it fit to set into the chosen mold. Finally it is very important to make sure that the molds have been made oily otherwise you would not be able to remove the soap from the molds easily to continue the process.
You will need to have a cool, dry place established ahead of time to let your soap sit after you have released it from its mold. The soap can be cut into any shape you desire and then needs to be placed on wire racks lined with preferably wax paper, and then set in the dry, cool, dark place to cure.
The whole curing process varies from 3 to 8 weeks. But when this curing process is done and the soap has dried out all the moistures it left, you will finally reach to a finished product. Most people are confused what they are using for their body washing and become relaxed knowing that the soaps they are using to clean their bodies and faces with are healthy and environment friendly to the community. This lesson can be passed to our next generations to come and is really a precious one.
