Soapmaking

No-one knows quite when soap was discovered. It was, however, a VERY long time ago.

Soap was very expensive, and in some locations, it was heavily taxed.

Only the rich could have much of it.

The guilds kept tight control of their recipes.

Soapmaking at home has become popular for many reasons.

I will need:

• silicone mold• soap base• red and yellow dyes• essential oil of avacodo• rubbing alcohol

To get better results I’ve cut the soap base into smaller pieces.

We need to melt the soap base. It is more easily done in the microwave.

When the base is melted, аdd about a third of a teaspoon of avocado oil.

Add about 3 drops of yellow dye.

Now to get the beautiful color, drip about 4 drops of red dye and mix.

Allow the soap for 3-4 hours, so it is well frozen, and can be immediately used.

Here it is! Beautiful homemade soap!

In just a matter of minutes you can create wonderful soaps for your home or for special gifts.

But be aware – soap making is addictive
