liquid

Liquid soap is easier to make than solid soap. It does not require a mold to set, and can be stored in a used liquid soap bottle. And in the process of cooking, you can flavor the composition. The standard recipe for making liquid soap includes 1 tbsp. soap shavings, 8-10 tbsp. water.
Pass the remnants through a fine grater, the finer the chips, the faster it will dissolve. If the soap is so dry that the grater does not take it, the pieces can be crushed with a hammer. Pour the finished chips into an enameled pan, fill with water and put on fire, stirring thoroughly. The chip must be completely melted. When the composition becomes homogeneous, remove it from the heat and let cool. And then pour into bottles. Use clean and sealed containers with a dispenser for storage.

Another way to make liquid soap is not to boil the shavings, but to let them brew. In this case, take about 50 g of remnants, grind them on a grater, pour in a liter of water and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture into a jar, seal tightly and leave for 1-2 days. When the solution becomes homogeneous, it will be ready for use. If the soap is too thick, it can be thinned with water or a decoction of herbs during the cooking process. Too liquid soap can be "fixed" with a tablespoon of sugar.

Solid

Solid soap is prepared in almost the same way as liquid soap, but in this case, the volume of hot water and remnants should be equal. In addition, you will need forms for solidification.

Grate the remnants of soap on a fine grater, take a liter of remnants and pour a liter of boiling water. Then you can keep the soap in a water bath until completely dissolved, and in this case, the temperature of the water in the external container must be raised from time to time by adding boiling water. Another way to make soap is to put the container on low heat and cook, stirring occasionally. Cooking takes about two hours, holding in a water bath will take twice as long. When the soap solution becomes homogeneous, pour it into molds and place in a cold place. After two days, the soap will be ready.

Modern housewives do not use a stove, but a microwave oven to speed up the process. How to make soap from remnants at home in the microwave? The recipe includes 1 liter of chips and 250 g of water. You will get a soap base in which you can add flavors, softeners and other components.

Prepare the desired amount of soap shavings, pour into a microwave-safe dish and set to cook. The heating power should be 600 W, and the time should be 30 seconds. Then mix the mass and heat again for 15 seconds. Stir and microwave the soap in 15-second increments until the shavings are completely dissolved. But the mixture should not boil either. When the solution becomes homogeneous, it can be poured into molds and put on cooling. It is best to use silicone containers lubricated with sunflower oil. Ready bars of soap will be with you in two days.

Useful Supplements

The methods described by us allow us to prepare a certain base mass. Its smell, color and other properties will depend mainly on what remnants are included in the base. But you can improve the final product if you add additional ingredients.

Lemon acid

It acts as a preservative, color stabilizer and conditioner. The substance is added at the very beginning of the preparation of soap. It is poured in a small amount into water, and then soap chips are added.

Glycerol

It may be part of the remnants. But the additional enrichment of soap with glycerin will make the final product even softer. Glycerin at the rate of 1 tbsp. l. for 1 st. add soap chips before boiling soap or soaking in a water bath, but after filling the chips with water.

Oils and fillers

Depending on what effect you want to achieve, soap can be enriched with additional components that give aroma or other properties. It is better to add this component at the end of cooking, but in general it will be possible to find out the final aroma of the product after it has completely dried out or is ready for use.

To give the soap an exfoliating effect, the composition is mixed with coffee grounds, ground almonds, coconut or poppy seeds.
Essential oil of almond, peach or ordinary cream will help to make the soap softer.
For a soothing soap effect, add a few drops of peppermint or lavender oil.
For a nutritional composition, you will need dark chocolate or oil solutions of vitamins A and E.
An anti-inflammatory agent can be made with sage oil or chamomile infusion.
To simply flavor the composition, essential oils of rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange, or any that you like will do. Before adding an essential oil, make sure you are not allergic to it. And in the case of food components (cucumber, milk, etc.), remember that the shelf life of soap will be limited.

Dyes

You can buy ready-made food or use the gifts of nature. Brown color gives a decoction of coffee and cocoa, orange - sea buckthorn juice, red is obtained from beet juice. Yellow soap is made with saffron, calendula or curry. Kaolin is used for bleaching. A beautiful blue color will give the soap essential oil of chamomile, and green - henna, sage or cucumber skin.
