Hi friends, this is Ramya from wildturmeric. In this video, I wanted to share
a wonderful handcrafted named soap that has amazing skin benefits. I was making
my own soaps from scratch and also crafting them till few years back. Soaps
made at home are done using cold process method. The
process involves mixing in oil with lye which is nothing but sodium hydroxide
mixed with water then it is beaten together till it thickens. This process
is called tracing and then it is poured into molds to set and cure. I also tried
transparent soap making at home which is actually dangerous in my opinion as we
are dissolving the soap in alcohol by boiling both the soap and alcohol
covered with a thick plastic sheet. I really enjoyed soap making but the
only problem was the lye. When we mix water with sodium hydroxide to make the
lye, it produces fumes and it doesn't agree with everyone and is especially
not advisable during pregnancy. So once I got pregnant, I stopped making soaps
completely. Nowadays we get both regular and transparent soap bases easily in
the markets and I have crafted my soaps using a store-bought transparent soap
base but if you want me to do it from scratch, let me know in the comment
section below. I will make a video separately for it. Soap crafting is an
art and is really fun and I promise you'll enjoy it greatly. Usually people
add synthetic colors to craft their soaps but I prefer fresh herb extracts
as I want the soaps to both look beautiful and have skin benefits as well.
First take a handful of washed neem leaves in a mixer. Now add in little bit
of water. Now grind this mixture to a smooth paste. Now take the ground paste
in a strainer and press to extract the fresh neem juice completely.
Take approximately around 50 grams of transparent soap base and cut into small
chunks using a sharp knife. Now take the cut soap in a cup and melt
in a double boiler. Now to the melted soap base, add
around 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of the freshly extracted thick neem juice. Now
mix well with a whisk, mixing will prevent a top layer forming in the
melted soap. Now add in the contents of 1 vitamin E capsule. Mix well till all the
ingredients are mixed well together. Now grease a plastic container with coconut
oil and pour the melted neem soap base. Now leave it in the freezer to set for
about 15 minutes, after 15 minutes remove the plastic container from the freezer
and run a sharp knife around the edge of the soap and tap gently. The soap will
easily come out. Now using a cookie cutter, cut out desired shapes. I have
used a larger and a smaller flower cookie cutters to cut out the shapes. Now take
few small plastic containers and oil them well with coconut oil. Now place the
cut out soaps in each container to your liking. Freeze them again for half an hour.
Now melt around 150 grams of transparent soap base like before. Let
cool slightly and add in the contents of one vitamin E capsule. You can also add
few drops of neem essential oil or any essential oil of your choice at this
stage. Mix well and pour over the frozen cutout
soaps. If the soaps are not frozen well or if the soap base is very hot, the
cutout soaps will start melting immediately so make sure that the soaps
are frozen well and that the soap base is not very hot to touch. Once the
transparent soap is poured over the cutout soaps, freeze again for 15 to 20
minutes and remove them by running a sharp knife around the edges. Your
homemade soap is ready to be used. Handcrafted soaps are beautiful to look
at and I would suggest involving your kids in the process and make the soaps using their
favorite animal shapes. I have used neem extract only for the cutout soaps but
you can reverse it and use plain transparent soap base for the cutouts
and neem soap for pouring on top. Since neem has antibacterial and skin
brightening properties, this soap will greatly prevent skin infections
and will keep your skin bright and blemish free.
