The magic of soap making

Soap is something we use every day. It comes in liquid and solid form. Most buy from us, soap shops, but make your own soap is much more fun. This is an ancient art and growing. There are several ways to make soap. The most common method is a melt and pour the name.

This fusion and pour method with glycerine-based SOAP is typically used. I personally prefer the glycerine soap, because I have sensitive skin. And glycerin soap, goat milk is very gentle on the skin. Basicallywith this method to buy melt slightly and pour soap base (usually at Michaels or online to find), about a kilo of soap placed in a microwave safe measuring cup, heat in a time frame of minutes until it is dissolved all the way, all cool with a wooden spoon, add 3-4 drops of color and fragrance or 5-10 drops of essential oils and mix pour into molds, allowed 1-3 hours, from pop and forms , you have soap. You can find all the ingredients to Michaels or online. soap making kit is also easy and funway to start.

There are other methods of soap making, the use of liquor. The use of alcohol, to goggles and gloves for sure. Also, make sure a lot of air coming into your work. Lye is very dangerous if inhaled, if too much or be it on your skin. Cold process is a method of making lye soap. Some people prefer SOAP-based liquor, because there are more bubbles.

They may have a soap base for melting and pour method, such as goat milk, olive oil and more.There are many types of molds used. I prefer silicone molds. They cost more, but more in the end. It 's easier to bring up the soap in it.

The holidays are a good time to be creative. Explore different methods and see the soap, which method is best for you. Experiment with colors and scents. Have fun.
