HANDMADE SOAP: FAST AND EASY!

I was interested in soap-making several years ago and experienced making soap for my family.

I felt like a real master mixing different ingridients and choosing by myself what I would add this time;)

At first, my goal was making safe soap, then I was just in love with the process, but later I found many organic shops, and it was easier to but ready soap there.

But now I am a mom! And my baby has never seen how the soap is being made, so I bought all necessary ingridients to show him the process and to make nice New Year gifts;)

So it was the start

We need: soap base (organic one, I took 2 types - white and clear one), some colour and special forms.

At first we melt soap base in a water bath.

Then we add some colour with a special tool.

This step was the hardest because my boy wante to pour ALL colour at once, and it was hard to stop him and showed that we needed only 2-3 drops;))

Then we pour the soap base into forms.

We had to be fast because it can frozen up very quickly!

Then I felt that the soap had NO smell at all;(

So we had to add some tea tree essential oil to our next portion

Then we melted the white type of the base and did the same steps.

In 10 min it was ready!
Already solid and ready to be used!

Surprise and delight of my boy can hardly be described;))

He ran to wash his hands with a new soap at once;))

A nice way to teach a baby to do it by the way;)
Now he loves the process much more;)
