Creating handmade soap has been a popular hobby ever since factories started mass-producing it. Many a hobbyist has claimed that washing with it when it’s made by hand is a more special experience than simply using a kind that was bought in a store. Making it yourself adds a personal touch that is irreplaceable.
This is able to be created in a variety of different ways. The following is a method that is very easy and is quite quick. It is safe and does not take very much money to finance.
Unscented bars must be bought and then cut into fairly small chunks before they’re weighed. Most molds for this hold around two pounds of the chunks. The chunks are then to be melted in the microwave into liquid form. The scent that is wanted in the end product’s essential oil should then be lightly mixed into the liquid, adding 0.4 ounces of scented essential oil per pound of chunks. To add color to the liquid, use safe dyes that are able to be found at many a craft store.
Small, solid items can be added to the liquid so that it will be stuck inside the bar when it hardens. As an example, a small-sized toy could be thrown into the mold, making a prize for the child who uses the bar. Flower petals are sometimes used, as well, to add an additional scent.
After the mold has finished being filled, it needs to cool and harden while sealed in plastic wrapping. The mold can just be left out in the open to cool, or be placed inside of a refrigerator. Don’t place it inside a freezer since it will be absolutely destroyed.
If end result is messed up and you hate the idea of the materials going to waste, the you can re-batch the bar of handmade soap. Re-batching is the fixing of a sub par bar by shredding it with a grater and then melting it over again. After you’ve done this, you may add more essential oils or dyes to repair the bar or alter it.
