Today in this video we are going to walk you through the process of making natural home made soap
We are using a formula to make 21 nos of soap and the ingredients needed are
For making soap the basic ingredients needed are caustic soda and talcum powder
we can make medicinal soaps by adding the juices of tulsi , hibiscus or any other medicinal plants
For kids soap we can add besan powder which is good for their skin
For curing itching and infections kashaya/juice of cucurbitaceae (kattu padavalam) boiled in water is mixed while making soap
Caustic soda is obtained from the electrolysis of salt which is highly versatile and is added with water to remove dirt from our skin
Caustic soda has to be dissolved in water overnight and should be mixed in clockwise direction only
Take a large vessel add 1litre coconut oil
Instead of coconut oil we can also use soyabean oil, olive oil
Add talcum powder slowly and mix nicely so that no lumps should be formed
Next add 50 ml AOS (alpha olefin sulfonate) which is the emulsifier and excellent foaming agent
Mix all ingredients nicely to get a thick paste form
Now add the caustic soda mixture already prepared to this very slowly until it gets thicker
Next we can add flavor like sandalwood, jasmine, rose, tulsi and brahmi or green gram powder as per our wish
add color to the mixture and mix them on clockwise direction
Mix them nicely to get thick paste otherwise it will not stay in the mold
Now grease the mold with oil
Pour mixture in to mould
After 3 hours this become solid/hard. The soap has to set for 12 hour in the mold
But this soap can be used only after 15 days because the side effects of caustic soda will be gone. Otherwise we feel itching on our skin
By this method we can make our own soft and smooth natural home made soap
Always keep in mind that mix the ingredients in clockwise direction. Use soap after 15 days to get better result and free from the effect of caustic soda
Next day we can extract soap from the mold and and is ready to be wrapped
So all of you don't waste time get a kit and do it yourself and let me know how it was. Be Healthy & Beautiful
