Special recommendation
To be about eminently practical classes, we recommend to print the lessons to be able to follow the instructions while you work with the material.
Let us begin with the necessary materials:
Soap stick bases with glycerin
Dye for soaps
Fragrancy for soaps
Molds
Steps
1. To cut of the stick the quantity of soap to use, for example stick ¼.
2. To cut in cubes that soap piece.
3. To place to bathroom María so that he/she is dissolved.
4. In the moment in the one that you/they are not pieces without dissolving to retire of the fire and of the bathroom María.
5. While he/she is dissolved to prepare the molds.
6. To incorporate 5% of the weight of the soap that we dissolved in alcohol, for example if we dissolved stick ¼ they are 250 g of soap and it corresponds to incorporate 12,5 g of alcohol.
7. Now to incorporate the color for drops and to go blending smoothly until achieving the wanted color.
8. Already colored to incorporate the quantity of fragrancy that is of your pleasure.
9. To pour in the molds.
10. To pulverize with some product for prolijar, this improved the final appearance because the bubbles and the foam disappear.
11. To allow to solidify and to cool totally.
12. Desmoldar and to allow to air on a grid until he/she gets lost the sensation of dampness to the tact.
13. To wrap with film kitchen autoadherente.
Secrets
All the elements to use should be very clean but the soap it loses trasparencia.
Not to leave in the fire neither in the water when already this dissolved one, is very important because it continues going up the temperature and you full with foam.
You can replace the prolijador for soaps for alcohol, but the soap will be left airing for a little but of time since is with but aroma to alcohol.
To calculate the quantity of necessary molds and some extra, if it has more than enough soap and he/she solidifies it should not dissolve again because it loses light transmission and quality.
Trap
If it is already difficult desmoldar and the soap this solid and cold to place it for 15 minutes in the freezer, to retire it and to leave it other 15 minutes to room temperature, he/she perspired and you desmoldara very easily.
IMPORTANT
You can replace the fragrancy for soaps for essential oil aromaterapeutico, but the temperature of the soap should be measured, it should not overcome the 60° to place him/her the oleum because it is ruined.
Not to never forget to wrap the soap with the film autoadherente, since it protects it avoiding that it is dried up and lose light transmission.
If we leave handmade soaps to the air and we don't use them during a prolonged time we will find that they lost their aroma, but when wetting them to use them the same one it will be perceived.
How clean the soap
A soap molecule forms it a chain of atoms among those that can be distinguished a head and an end, both they have different functions: the head attracts the water and the end the dirt, this way while the head dives in the dirt it pushes it toward it was, the end takes it toward the water.
But simply the soap adheres to the dirt first and he/she stays in the foam and we finish the method when carrying out the mouthwash, that is to say we retire the soap remains and the dirt.
