A Beginner's Guide to make Soaps

New Business for you

Melt-and-pour soap is an excellent choice for beginners. All you have to do is melt the readymade base, alter it with your favorite colors and smells, then pour into a mold. You may experiment with more complex techniques like layers and swirls after you understand the procedure.

Oils and sodium hydroxide lye are combined to make cold process soap. This results in saponification, a chemical process. Soap that has been melted and poured has already undergone that procedure. This eliminates the need to handle lye, concentrate on the design, and cure the soap—it is ready to use as soon as it is cool and solid.

Soap base: When choosing a base, there are a number of possibilities available. An excellent place to start is with Crystal (Clear) and Opaque (White) Melt and Pour. They are easy to use, clean, and customizable. While the white base will have more pastel hues, the clear base will have more vibrant hues. You can also experiment with bases that contain aloe vera, goat milk, or shea butter. Learn more about them and locate all the bases here.

 

Fragrance: Fragrance oils or essential oils can be used to scent your soap. Typically, 8.5g of fragrance are used for every pound of soap. Use the Fragrance Calculator to determine light, medium, and strong recommendations. It’s crucial to use fragrances that are suitable for skin, such as Purenso’s. Candle, craft, or potpourri fragrances may not be skin safe or tested in soap. Be sure to check with the manufacturer before use.

Glycerin: A naturally occurring byproduct of the saponification process is glycerin. Handmade soap attracts and retains moisture, which is one of the reasons it feels so wonderful. To make it easier to work with, more glycerin is added during the melt and pour manufacturing process. In humid locations, it can also cause the soap to sweat, so wrap your bars and store them somewhere cold and dry.

Moulds: To prevent melting when you pour in hot soap, you must use a mold that can tolerate greater temperatures. In order to make unmolding the bars simple, you also want it to be flexible. We prefer silicone molds because for melt and pour, you can find those here. 

Colorants: Melt and pour soap can be colored using a wide variety of alternatives. In the final bars, micas and color look fantastic and are simple to use.

Safety: At 120 degrees Fahrenheit, soap bases begin to melt. Melted soap can cause pain if it drips or splashes onto skin, so handle it carefully and with heat-safe instruments. Children should be old enough to handle their own containers when making, and an adult should always be present.
