In this blog post, I will discuss the ingredients you need and the steps you need to take to make your soap, shampoo, and detergent. Soapmaking is a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy!
Benefits of Making Soaps at Home
There are many reasons to make your soap at home. First, it is more affordable than buying store-bought soap. This is because you can control the quality of the ingredients you use, for example, by using organic or natural ingredients.
You will also save money and help them by not having to pay for packaging, shipping, and other associated costs. Also, buying this way can mean buying in bulk, saving you even more money.
You can customize your soap to suit your needs better. For example, if you have sensitive skin, you can add ingredients that will be gentle on your skin, such as oatmeal or honey, instead of commonly re-occurring ingredients like sulfates, which can be harsh on your skin. You can also add fragrances or essential oils to make your soap smell however you like!
By making your soap, you will know exactly what ingredients are going into it. This is important because many store-bought soaps contain harmful chemicals and preservatives that can be bad. You can add more lye to the recipe if you want a stronger soap.
Homemade soap generally contains fewer chemicals and is better for the environment. Take, for instance, palm oil. Commercial soap companies often use unsustainable palm oil in their products, contributing to the destruction of rainforests. You can use sustainable palm oil or avoid it when you make your soap.
