If you're new to soap making and are not sure how to get started, if you do not want to work with aggressive lye, if you want to prepare soap but do not want to have a great mess in your kitchen, if you want to impart sensitive ingredients into soap and.... there are tons of other reasons why you should try our soap base....
For an introduction to hand-mill or rebatch please look at our previous post and infographic.
Here we are going to prepare beautiful soap balls with SkinChakra® luxury soap chips (rich in shea butter and palm free) and rosewater.
Before starting please review our older post about general hygienic manufacturing practice in a cosmetic lab and basic equipments for a cosmetic lab.
Here we go:
You'll need as well:
One: Weight 150 gr of our luxury chips in a suitable pot. Add about 30 ml of Rosewater to the soap. Mix thoroughly. Use as little rosewater as possible. The chips should not be completely covered by the fluid. It's enough when they are lightly wet.
Two: Cover the pot and put it in a water bath. Water temperature should be around 90. Don't fill the bath with too much water. Stir the soap occasionally and check the consistency, if it is going to be too dry, add more rosewater little by little. Leave the soap rest for about two hours. If you apply too much liquid, the soap needs longer.
Three: After the whole soap is homogenous and has a consistency of potato puree, add the super fat oil and vitamin E. Turn the heat off but let the pot rest in water bath for about 15 minutes. Remeber, the consitency is not comparable to a soap at trace.
Four: After the soap is cooled down to under 45 degrees (celsius) add Patchouli essential oil and the fragrance oil.
Five: Make small balls in your hands. You may apply dries rose petals as a decoration on the surface of the balls.
Put the balls on a tray and let them dry. You may need a couple of days up to one week depending on the added liquid and the consistency of the soap.
Enjoy these mild soap balls. Rosewater is a very mild hydrosol suitable for all skin conditions. Patchouli is an excellent skin care essential oil and rose hip oil is a plant oil rich in linoleic acid, omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid and containing some vitamin C. You can apply this mild soap rich in shea butter and sunflower oil in facial cleansing even for very dry skin.
