Homemade Coconut Water and Aloe Vera Soap | A Refreshing Recipe!
Introduction
Making soap at home is a fun and rewarding activity that allows you to customize ingredients for a natural, skin-friendly product. Coconut water and aloe vera are incredibly hydrating and soothing, making them perfect for a refreshing homemade soap. Here’s a simple guide to creating your own coconut water and aloe vera soap.
Ingredients
To make this refreshing soap, you’ll need:
1 cup of coconut water
1/2 cup of aloe vera gel
4 ounces of lye (sodium hydroxide)
10 ounces of coconut oil
10 ounces of olive oil
6 ounces of shea butter
Essential oils (optional, for fragrance)
Soap mold
Safety gear (gloves, goggles)
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Lye Solution:
Put on your safety gear.
In a well-ventilated area, slowly add the lye to the coconut water, stirring gently. Never add water to lye. Be careful, as the mixture will heat up and release fumes. Let it cool while you prepare the oils.
Melt the Oils:
In a large pot, melt the coconut oil, olive oil, and shea butter over low heat. Stir until completely melted and well combined.
Combine the Mixtures:
When both the lye solution and the oils are around the same temperature (about 100-110°F or 37-43°C), slowly pour the lye solution into the oils. Stir continuously until well combined.
Add Aloe Vera:
