Homemade soap from scratch: recipe. Handmade soap: master-class

Among soaps, soap is popular from scratch. The recipe for cooking can be different, but the essence remains one. This soap differs from the usual gels, lotions, shampoos absolutely natural ingredients! This product does not dry and does not irritate the skin, does not cause rashes, redness, peeling. But not every handmade soap will be "zero", as they are called soaps.

Soap types

Soap, which is made aromatized in the form of different figures from the soap base, can be attributed to non-natural remedies. Since its basis is industrial production, where surfactants (surfactants) are added, cheap oils, foaming agents.

Despite the addition of aromatic natural ingredients, the soap still remains synthetic. It is often used for gifts, as the cooking process is simple. It is enough to melt the soap base and add oil.

Another thing - soap from scratch. The recipe does not contain harmful chemical additives, but includes natural ingredients (honey, essential or vegetable oils, herbal decoctions, chocolate, nuts, coffee). This soap is obtained by saponification of vegetable fats with alkali before the formation of glycerin and the salt of fatty acids. Preparation of "zero" requires calculations of proportions, time, experience. Beginners often make mistakes, because properly created soap should be without alkali.

When there is no soap base or alkali at hand, many beginning soaps resort to a simple but long-lasting method. Take a children's soap (it is practically free of chemicals), plaited, melted on fire with water or herbal decoction in a water bath until uniform with frequent stirring. Then the mass is removed, oils are added. On application soap can be divided into children's, household, shampoo. By the way of manufacturing soaps distinguish hot and cold way.

How to start soap making?

Even simple recipes of soap from scratch can not do without special tools, materials. For soap making, the following devices and ingredients will be needed:

• Scales for measuring water or oils.
• Scales for measuring alkali with an accuracy of one hundredth of a gram.
• Thermometer for measuring the temperature of liquids.
• Submersible blender.
• Disposable glasses or other dry containers for alkali.
• Spoons for stirring.
• A heat-resistant vessel where alkali will dissolve.
• Stainless, enamel or glass heat-resistant container for mixing soap.
• Glasses, gloves, respirator, overalls.
• Wooden or silicone molds for soap.
• Alkali sodium hydroxide and potassium (the former is used in the preparation of solid soap, the second is suitable for liquid).
• Vegetable oils.
• "Soap" calculator (used to check the proportions of all ingredients, especially alkali).
• Water, herbal infusions, milk, coffee, zest.

Please note that the cookware in which you cook soap can not be used for cooking or storing food.

Safety regulations

For beginners it is very dangerous to take immediately for soap from scratch. The recipe for any manufacture requires safety.

1. Store alkali in a dry, closed container in an inaccessible place.
2. Pour dry alkaline powder on a scale slowly, in small portions, so that the particles do not get into the air.
3. When diluting alkali, pour the powder with small spoons into the water, and not vice versa. Dissolved particles, then poured again.
4. When preparing an alkaline solution, the bowl becomes very hot, so some of the required water is frozen, and place a container of chemical substance in a sink with cold water.
5. When applied to the skin, an alkaline solution causes a chemical burn. Wear protective equipment, long-sleeved clothing.
6. If alkali gets on your clothes, remove it, wash your skin.
7. If you get a dry powder, then whisk it, wipe it with a damp towel.
8. If the solution gets on the skin, wash it first with water, then diluted with citric acid or acetic acid.
9. When working with chemicals, the windows should be open, the exhaust hood - run at full capacity.

Homemade soap recipes from scratch

"Zero" soap is produced in a hot and cold way. In the first version, it is cooked in the oven. In the second soap "comes" in a water bath. In both cases, the soap needs to mature from a few weeks to a year.

Beginners should start with a cold way. Recipe data should be entered in the calculator, which will give an exact ratio of water and alkali.

• 7% surviving (SF or superfat).
• 10% of linseed oil.
• 20% of palm and coconut oil.
• 50% of the olive oil.

Overeat protects the skin, and oils under the influence of alkali and form a soap (from scratch). The recipe is as follows:

• Prepare all the components.
• Put the heat-resistant container on the scales, measure all the ingredients, except for alkali and water.
• Melt until completely dissolved in the fire at a temperature of 50 degrees.
• Measure out the alkali, pour it into the ice.
• Solution alkali and oils bring to the same temperature, measuring it with a non-contact thermometer.
• Alkaline pour into the oil through a strainer, whisk to a cream consistency with a submerged blender .

Marble soap from scratch

Soap making recipes assume 5 stages: cooking, mixing (or track stage), drying, gel stage and storage. Therefore, after preparing the soapy mass, proceed to the next step. You can divide the mass into two parts, paint with different pigments to get a two-color soap. Stir each part with a blender. Then add essential oils, perfume. Connect the multi-colored soap base without mixing. Pour the mass into the mold. To remove the formed bubbles, just tap the form on the table and add the base. On top of the brush, draw a pattern.

Then follows the gel stage, that is, the stage of hardening. It passes almost any children's, household, toilet, shampoo soap from scratch (see the recipe below). Soap put in a heated but turned off oven (40-50 degrees) or wrap it around the battery for several hours, then dry it at room temperature for a day.

The last stage cut the soap into pieces, put in a box with holes, leave "ripen" for several weeks. Only then can you get it, pack it for a gift or start using it.

Manufacture of laundry soap

Soaps, in addition to the toilet product, make a natural laundry soap from scratch. Recipes usually consist of inexpensive oils (corn, sunflower, palm, coconut). Consider one recipe for this soap:

• 64.52% coconut oil;
• 24.19% of olive oil;
• 11.29% castor oil;
• 2% surviving;
• 33% water;
• 1% citric acid;
• 103.93 grams of alkali;
• 1 tsp. Soda (with a slide);
• 10 ml of essential oil of lemon and peppermint.

The total weight of the oils is 620 grams. Muffle all the oils with a peroxide on a water bath. Dissolve citric acid in a small amount of water. Next, prepare the alkaline solution from the powder and water. After completely dissolving alkali, pour the lemon solution, stir.

When the oils dissolve to homogeneity, remove, leave to cool to the same temperature with an alkaline solution. Mix both masses with a blender until the "trace" is formed, put in a preheated oven to 60 degrees for 2.5 hours.

Continuation of soap making

We continue to manufacture laundry soap from scratch. Recipes, by the way, can allow the use of reperfusion not at the first stage of melting with oils in a water bath, but when rubbing it along the walls of the mold. In our case, the forms are simply covered with baking paper.

Once you get the soap out of the oven, you need to work quickly, as the mass quickly hardens. In it add soda, whisk together with a mixer. Pour essential oils, mix, spread in the form. Once the soap has solidified completely, remove it from the mold, cut it into pieces, you can immediately use it. In this is the advantage of the hot manufacturing method.

This laundry soap smells good, perfectly copes with the lime coating, they can wash dishes and bath before bathing children. And what is most pleasant, after working with him, there is no discomfort, scaling or dry skin.

Whether it is economic, toilet or baby soap from scratch, the recipe requires clear calculations. Otherwise, with a large amount of water, the soap will quickly become soiled, if the excess is exceeded, the product will deteriorate, and the soap base will not thicken from an analysis of alkali or base oil .

Manufacture of shampoo soap

Soaps are brewed shampoo soap from scratch. The recipe includes useful decoctions, oils, hair supplements. Only it turns out not a liquid shampoo, but a piece of solid soap. That's why it may not be suitable for some people. Experiment with the ingredients to get your type of soap.

To prepare a cleansing and firming hair shampoo soap, take:

• 40% of rapeseed oil;
• 34% coconut oil;
• 26% sunflower oil;
• 1% citric acid;
• 33% water;
• 10 ml of EM petit grane;
• 15 grams of laurel oil;
• 76.48 grams of alkali;
• 3% for the form.

Oils are designed for a weight of 500 grams. The process of preparation is similar to household soap, that is, oils are melted, separately, lemon and alkaline solution is prepared. The acid is poured into an alkali, not hot, but at room temperature. Then add the mass to the oils, whisk with a blender until a trace is formed.

Also, send it to the preheated oven for 2.5 hours. Add to the soap-based rehash, essential oils, mix, spread in the form. After a day, cut into pieces, leave for a couple of weeks to harden, although it is ready to use.

Summary results

If you want to have a clean and well-groomed skin, then prepare the soap from scratch. Recipes differ in the ingredients, the method of production, but the process itself is repeated. The beginner should first learn about the interaction of oils with alkali and practice with a soap calculator.
