how to make soap in simple way?

Answer 1

(m)


Aunt Katie's Body Scrub
Honey 3/4 cup
Caster sugar 1 cup
Sea salt 1 cup
Jojoba oil 3ml
Fragrance oil 3ml (orange & ylang ylang are beautiful combined with the honey)

Pour honey into medium sized bowl, then add sugar and stir to combine. Add the salt in increments, to adjust the consistency to your liking. (I prefer a consistency not unlike crytallized honey). When all ingredients combine, add oils and stir well. This recipe is particularly long keeping as the lack of water discourages bacteria.





Honey Bee CP Soap
Olive Oil 32 oz.
Palm Oil 16 oz.
Tallow 24 oz.
Totals 72 oz.
5% Superfatted Lye Amount 9.477 oz.
Ounces of water recommended 23.760 oz.

At trace, add fragrance and 1 Tablespoon of Honey. Do not insulate your soap as the Honey may cause your soap to superheat.

Olive Oil 18 oz.
Palm Oil 16 oz.
Shea Butter 4 oz.
Tallow 16 oz.
Totals 70 oz.

Easy Lip Balm Recipe - using Lanolin
1oz. Olive Oil
.3oz of Lanolin
.4oz of Shea Butter
.4oz of Beeswax
Flavor oil and Stevia for taste.


Melt beeswax gently over a double boiler (or in the microwave if no double boiler is available). In a separate container, heat the Lanolin oil and Shea Butter up until it is fully liquid. Add the olive oil to the melted Lanolin oil and Shea Butter. Combine the beeswax and all the oil, stir well. Add flavoring (if desired) and pour into containers.





Skin Firming Gel - using CroThix
CroThix has a secondary use as a skin firming agent. (Its primary use is as a thickening agent in liquid soaps, and shampoos.) Here is an easy gel that you can make that is good for all skin types, using jojoba makes a non-comedogenic cream that won't clog your pores. (CroThix may be purchased at Bramble Berry Soap Making Supplies)

This makes (4) four ounce containers of gel-crème.

Water 13 oz.
Glycerin .5 oz.
Emulsifying Wax or Ceteryl Alcohol 1 oz.
CroThix .7 oz.
Jojoba Oil .6 oz.
Germaben II or Phenonip .16 oz.
Fragrance or Essential Oil .16 - .50 oz.

Heat the Water and Glycerin to 170 degrees and set aside. Heat the Emulsifying Wax until melted and add to the CroThix and Jojoba. Stir. Add the water and glycerin to the Emulsifying Wax, CroThix and Jojoba. Mix until the creme is 105 degrees (or less). Add your fragrance and preservative and package in jars or an easily squeezable package. Apply under make up for a more smooth application or as a night creme.

Answer 2

no, there is no "simple" way to make soap. Soap was one of those accidental inventions that came about by mixing ash (yes from the fire) with animal fat.

Having said that, it can be made from some simple ingredients and you don't need animal fat: This recipe is from http://www.lizziecandle.com/index.cfm/fa/home.page/pageid/11.htm


Oils

24 ounces olive oil (not extra virgin)

24 ounces coconut oil

38 ounces vegetable shortening

Alkaline Solution

12 ounces sodium hydroxide (lye) Red Devil Brand-Not Draino

32 ounces spring or distilled water

Fragrance or Essential Oil

4 ounces of your favorite fragrance

dried ground herbs (optional)

You will need the following equipment.

Safety Goggles

Rubber Gloves

Scale to weigh the ingredients

A one gallon stainless steel or enamel kettle, not alluminum

Glass or plastic wide mouth pitcher to hold water and lye

A two cup plastic or glass measuring cup

Wooden spoons

Stainless steel wire whisk

One accurate glass thermometer that registers between 80-100 degrees F.

Plastic shoe box for your soap mold. Spray with vegetable spray so soap will release easily.

2 towels to cover your soap

One jar of vinegar in case you splash lye on your skin. Vinegar will neutralize the lye.

You will need several hours of time to make your soap.

Keep in mind that lye is caustic. Lye causes burns to skin, and can blind the eyes so use

Caution!!

Put on your rubber gloves and goggles. Weigh out 12 ounces of lye (sodium hydroxide) into the two-cup measuring cup. Weigh 32 ounces (2 pounds) of cold water in glass container. Slowly add lye to water (best done outside) stirring gently. The lye will heat the water and release fumes. The fumes dissapate quickly, but turn your face away so as not to inhale the fumes. Set aside and allow the lye to cool.

Weigh out 24 ounces of coconut oil and 38 ounces of vegetable shortening into the metal kettle. Melt these oils over low heat and stir frequently. Remove from heat after the oils have melted and add the 24 ounces of olive oil.

When your lye has reached a range of 95-98 degrees and your oils are at the same temperature, add the lye in a slow steady stream to the oils. Use the metal whisk to stir the mixture. After about ten minutes you will notice a change in your mixture. This is called saponification. The mixture will appear like thin cream. This is called tracing. Tracing occurs when droplets of soap will stand up on the surface. When this happens add your fragrance and stir well. Be ready to pour natural soap in your mold.

Cover your shoe box with the two towels and set asside undisturbed for eighteen hours. The soap will go through a gel stage and a heat process. At the end of this period uncover the soap and allow to sit for another 12 hours.

If you measured accurately and followed the directions there should be no problems. But if your soap has a deep oily film on top the natural soap cannot be used because it has separated. This is dissappointing if this happens. This will occur if your measurements were not accurate.

You are now ready to unmold your natural soap. Turn the box over and allow the soap to fall on a towel or clean surface. Cut your soap into bars. Allow the natural soap to cure in a cool dry place for approximately four to six weeks before using.

Answer 3

If you want to make good quality cfaft soaps without usin lye (caustic soda) you could buy some "pouring soap" from a good soap makers' suppliers.

There are some available which are organic and vegetarian. I think you heat them up, add your extras such as marigold petal, essential oils, etc and pour them into moulds.

I haven't tried this yet.

Some soap bases use animal fats, so look carefully if you want a quality vegetarian product.
