Making this Homemade Seaweed Soap

Before you begin making this homemade shampoo, take a moment to read the Make Homemade Soap Process. In this overview you will see photos and obtain a good feel for the basic soap making procedure (cold process).

The page importantly describes how to quicken the trace stage (thickening stage) using a stick blender.

Method

1. Make sure the room you are making the natural soap recipe in is well ventilated.



2. Oil a plastic mould and then line it with greaseproof paper.



3. In a stainless steel pan (large), melt the olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, palm oil and beeswax over a low heat.



4. Put on protective eyewear, mask, apron and long rubber gloves.



5. Pour the mineral water into a plastic bucket. Slowly, add the lye, using a plastic spatula to stir until dissolved.



6. Use two jam thermometers, one for the lye solution and one for the oil.



7. Make sure you are wearing the protective clothing. When both mixtures equalise at 131 F (55 C) immediately pour the lye mix into the oils and mix and with the spatula, stir continuously until well combined.



8. Continue to stir until it has thickened enough, when a bit of the soap is drizzled over the top it leaves a line/ trace.



9. Pour in the grapefruit, sweet orange, petit grain and sage essential oils and sir thoroughly, then do the same with the seaweed.



10. Pour the mixture into the mould that you prepared before. Then with a spatula or spoon, make a wave pattern over the top of the soap.



11. Leave it covered with cardboard, in a warm, dry place for 24 hrs in order for it to set.



12. Line a wooden board with greaseproof paper, put some protective gloves on and turn the soap out onto the board.



13. Use a carving knife to cut the soap into chunky bars, wave side up.



14. Put them into a tray lined with greaseproof paper and leave for four weeks in a warm dry place.



15. Turn your homemade seaweed soap occasionally.
