Honey herbal soap
The recipe to make it yourself
Making your own honey herbal soap
Breathe in deeply for a quick energy boost! You think you can't do this at home? Of course you can!
You can use our soap recipe for example!
If you are now nodding your head in agreement, you may be one of those sorely afflicted by the coronavirus situation. Did the panic buyers beat you to the supermarket yet again? You simply cannot get any more soap because the shelves are empty? All the other soaps simply don’t smell good or they contain dubious ingredients? No reason to be sad! Just grab the ingredients to make the soap yourself and off you go! It really isn't difficult to make handmade soap!
And by the way, there doesn't have to be a virus to make wonderfully fragrant soaps yourself. After all, regular, thorough hand-washing with soap is always worth doing, isn't it? Also, it is great fun to make your own soap and an excellent pastime if the weather happens to keep you indoors.
But homemade soap has plenty of other advantages too!
You can let your imagination run wild
For two soaps you will need:
150g raw soap
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp almond oil
10 drops of an essential herbal oil of your choice
and various dried herbs (e.g. sage, rosemary, thyme, peppermint, lavender, eucalyptus...)
Silicone moulds
1. Soap basis
Cut the raw soap into small pieces and melt slowly in a water bath. (Please follow the manufacturer's instructions). Don't stir too vigorously otherwise air bubbles may form. You could also use translucent glycerine soap of course or make the soap yourself from scratch. Now stir 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp almond oil and 10 drops of essential oil into the mass...
2. Herbal soap
In the meantime, lay the dried herbs (flowers or leaves) into the little silicone moulds. It is best to crumble the leaves slightly to make them smaller. Rubbing them will also help to release the aromatic scent of the herbs.
3. Soap moulds
Pour the liquid soap into the moulds quickly. You can then lay a few herbs on the top if you like. Then let the soap dry well over a period of several days.
4. Be proud!
The herbal soap can be stored in a cool place for a few weeks. However, the leaves may become discoloured after a while so it is best to use the soap straightaway or give it away as a gift.
